Welcome to our Podcast episode dedicated to exploring the fascinating concept of 'flow' - a state of deep contentment and absorption in activities that stimulates your creativity and fuels productivity. Your host, Elizabeth Johnston, a seasoned creativity and story coach, as well as a certified autobiography guide, will guide you on a transformative journey as she discusses her personal experiences and shares insights from the work of acclaimed psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
Discover the extraordinary correlation between wealth, happiness, and this elusive state of 'flow', and learn the profound impact it has on your personal and business life. Understand how incorporating story into your business can serve as an appealing draw for the right clients. This podcast promises an enlightening conversation, which will encourage you to reassess conventional business models and reevaluate the role of happiness and 'flow' in realizing your goals.
With her profound insights, bolstered with real-life anecdotes, inspiring research and intriguing activities, our host offers a compelling route to enhanced clarity, vision, and a deeper understanding of your life and business narrative. This is about unlocking your own path to elevated productivity, creativity, and overall satisfaction in your life and business journey.
Finding Happiness in Work: Utilising 'Flow' for Increased Productivity and Satisfaction
Dive into the unique methodology of tracking everyday activities and gauging the joy or dissatisfaction derived from each, a worthwhile tool for time management and augmenting daily contentment. You will discover the need to delegate tasks that hold you back and obstruct your ability to experience pleasure and achieve the flow state. The episode also provides valuable insights into societal structures that often result in unforeseen stress due to uneven task distribution, particularly within families and relationships.
Understand the importance of reevaluating roles in order to attain happiness and abolish actions that foster contempt. Get acquainted with the role of social approval, and how doing things out of obligation rather than choice, primarily to appease others or save face, can lead to loss of personal satisfaction and 'flow'.
The episode culminates with an invitation to the free Story Circle writing workshop, where participants can explore the power of writing about their lives and discovering personal narratives. The ultimate goal is to learn to consciously organize your life around activities and tasks that bring joy and keep you in the flow state. Don’t let your days be overthrown by activities that dampen your spirit. Choose to live in a state of constant flow and make the most of each day.
