The Flow Habit - Creativity, Flow State, Manifestation, Intuition & Guided Meditation

Hi Creative Friend! Have you ever felt stuck or like you’ve lost your spark? Do you have creative dreams but never seem to find the time? Do you feel like you’re giving too much energy to the wrong things or people and never have enough for YOU, or what REALLY matters? If so, you’re in the right place. Welcome to The Flow Habit podcast! Hi. I’m Laurie Smith. Five years ago, that was me. I was tired, stretched too thin, and felt like I had lost my connection with my best, most creative, Truest Self. To help myself get out of my funk, I challenged myself to do something every day that I absolutely loved to do AND (and this is the key!) that had a high chance of getting me into flow, that feeling we get when we’re so into what we’re doing that we lose track of time. I called it my 28-Day Flow Challenge. I was absolutely amazed by how this simple little experiment changed my life. I went from not writing for years (the creative activity I LOVE to do that gets me into flow) to writing and publishing two books and being picked up by a major publisher. I’ve also adopted other Flow Habits too, and have been integrating my 25 years of experience as a life coach, healer and speaker with what I’ve been learning about flow to support hundreds of highly creative people around the world--like YOU! (Join my community by signing up for my free 28-Day Flow Challenge on my website www.LaurieSmith.com.) Now I’m on a mission to spread the word about the power of everyday flow experiences. Here’s the thing--you are already a Flow Expert. You already know what it will take to change your life and get it flowing again. The key is finding a way to hear your own intuitive wisdom and act on it, a few minutes at a time. In each episode of The Flow Habit, my goal is to create a safe space so you can uncover your own unique formula for flow too. We’ll be talking to others who will be sharing what helps them get into the zone (a.k.a. flow), and I’ll be leading you through simple everyday exercises including guided meditations you can do to hear your intuition and redesign your life--a few minutes at a time--so that you don’t just experience more flow, but your overall life flows better too! If you’re ready to feel inspired, energized, excited to do what matters most, AND to manifest synchronicities and everyday miracles with a community of creative friends cheering you on, I’ve created this podcast--The Flow Habit--for YOU. Put down that to-do list—all those things you think you SHOULD be doing, turn off the ringer on your phone, and take a deep breath. It’s time to get unstuck, reclaim your spark and manifest your creative dreams. You have unique gifts that the world really needs. Ready to share your creative spark in a way that works for YOU? It’s time to ”Let Life Flow,” friend! Let’s do this together. Let’s GO FLOW!
