#72: Simplifying and Creating Space for Flow (FLOW & CLARITY SERIES #4)

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed or disorganized that it was difficult to get into flow? The first step to experiencing flow is focus. We need to know what our priorities are, and have systems in place to help us reach those priorities. 

Sometimes, we can hold too tightly to what we think is supposed to happen, or to our goals, so that we don't allow for the fluidity that flow requires. We might have systems so dialed in (or be trying to create so much structure) that we are actually blocking flow.

On the other hand, sometimes we need more structure or predictability in our processes so that we can keep flow going. The containers we create for flow become the systems we develop for our lives.

In this episode, Laurie Smith, author of the flow book The Flow Habit, and host of The Flow Habit Podcast does a deep dive into what you need to do to boost flow in your life. 

Creating a high-flow life isn't about following a formula that some expert has developed. In spite of what we often hear about flow, we're all Flow Experts! The key to experiencing the flow state more often, boosting creative flow, and creating lives that flow is all about "knowing oneself."

As with all of her podcast episodes and her books, host Laurie Smith invites you to do some introspection into what you are trying to accomplish in your life this week, and how you can support yourself, possibly with some more clarity and systems, so that your experience flows!

If you want to go even deeper and uncover your own unique formula for flow, order Laurie's NEW Book The Flow Habit: Creating Peace, Passion, Purpose & Everyday Miracles!
