Do you feel anxious or have ruminating thoughts?

 

Is your inner critic talking too loud or are you filled with self-doubt?

 

Do you feel distracted or pulled in lots of different directions?

 

If so, you're not alone! We all have an inner critic.

 

In this episode of The Flow Habit® podcast, Laurie Smith shares what works for her and her clients when it comes to turning down the volume on the inner critic and feeling more flow.

 

This episode of The Flow Habit podcast includes a guided meditation and is designed to help you relax and unlock your own unique formula for flow.

 

Calming our nervous system is so important when it comes to accessing the flow state, creative flow, boosting our creativity, and being our best selves.

 

Learn why relaxation and guided visualization are so important when it comes to experiencing more flow.

 

Then, turn down the volume of our self-doubt and inner chatter, and have your own deeply relaxing experience by listening to the calming six-minute guided meditation Laurie has created just for you.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
