TRANSCRIPT

Hello flow flow flowers! I'm Fiona and this is episode 2. Escape, relax and lose yourself.
Taking yourself away from everyday worries really is essential to getting lost enough to create. Getting into flow with making is deeply relaxing itself, but you have to relax to get into flow. It’s never easy, is it?

This is going to be unique to you. You might want to do something physical, go for a walk or a run, have a stretch or a big yawn. (YAWNING) I’m really sorry if your yawning now! But it’s good for opening up your throat, getting a bit of oxygen in.

You might prefer to visualise being somewhere completely different. You’ve just been listening to the forest birds in Bratislava… or perhaps you’d like a tropical beach in St Croix (if you’re not on a tropical beach in real life of course!)? I quite like trains because I find them soothing, This one’s a London Overground. The podcast Radio Lento releases wonderful natural soundscapes to change your surroundings while you’re creating. If you want sound and picture escapism, try Window-swap to look at someone else’s view for a while. I’ll put links to everything in the show notes.

If you prefer something a bit more abstract, white, pink or brown noise is the Neapolitan ice-cream of concentration, going from higher frequencies down to the lower - see which colour works for you to muffle intrusive thoughts.
and have fun with your making!

Now your countdown. If you're all set up and you've set your timer, then flow flow flow in 3, 2, 1 go!
