#66: Overcoming Flow Blocks ~ 3 Tips to Quiet Your Inner Critic (FLOW & TRANSFORMATION SERIES #1)

Flow has gotten a lot of attention when it comes to productivity and performance. Often, when it comes to getting into flow, boosting focus and limiting outer distractions gets a lot of focus. In this episode, Flow State Speaker and author of Laurie Smith reveals that contrary to what most people think, the number one block to flow isn't outer distractions, it's our inner chatter.

Laurie Smith spent years doing a deep dive into peer-reviewed research as well as conducting her own research in her flow groups. She discovered that when we learn how to quiet the parts of our brains that rule us-versus-them thinking and are constantly trying to keep us safe by focusing on "what's wrong," we have a higher chance of experiencing more flow.

In this episode, Laurie walks through three simple steps we can take to quiet the inner critic and boost the flow in our lives. This is the first episode in a three-part series on how flow can help us navigate transformations and life changes.
