Episode 23 – Overthinking, Overpreparing and Creating Flow

How can you tell when you are experiencing a state of flow?

Anna and Cassie talk about personal situations of being in and out of flow on today’s podcast and encourage you to notice the positive aspects of being ‘in flow’.

Anna shares the experience of presenting her first journalling workshop and how she took a different approach in preparing a single-page overview of notes and three exercises. The result was a completely different experience to the gut-wrenching nerves felt from previous presentations when she overprepared.

Cassie talks about her HR and corporate experiences and highlights what happens when a simple presentation becomes not so simple when we’re trying too hard to impress or make a difference! She shares a simple exercise to illustrate how to feel comfort and tension in our bodies.

While it might be considered the right thing or the only way to address anxieties around an uncertain future, overthinking and overpreparing can suppress creativity and authenticity. When we notice what it feels like to be in flow, it’s easier to slide into its positive state and spot what incidents or triggers knock us out.

Tune in to this episode and learn how to find your flow and become naturally more energetically aligned with yourself and more engaging and encouraging in the eyes of others.
