A New Way of Being

Cultivating Creativity and Finding Flow – with Author, Broadcaster and Comedian Chris Smith


Listen Later

We are in the middle of a 'creativity crisis' - with so many people are distracted, unable to focus and lacking in connection. So what to do about it? Here to help me unpick how we can find more flow, creativity, connection, peace and ease - is Chris Smith, an award-winning author, broadcaster and stand-up comedian. For many years we sat alongside each other in the Newsbeat studio on BBC Radio 1. We discuss:

  • How to get into flow and tap into the 'intelligent unconscious'
  • The relationship between unplugging and creativity
  • Why we love losing ourself in what we are doing, and how modern life is killing that
  • Recognising that the future is never as bad as we fear it will be when it arrives as 'the present'
  • How to develop a different relationship with our thoughts
  • How to cultivate the space for true creativity to arrive
  • The value of having a sauna

  • I am creating a course about Banishing Burnout and Finding Flow - which I will be sharing more about that over coming weeks and months. Together we can create a new way of being - one that is less distracted and combative, and has more flow and peace.

    For many years Chris was the voice of Newsbeat on BBC Radio 1. In 2017 he published Kid Normal which he co-wrote with his friend Greg James. It became the first in a series of children’s books. In early 2025 Chris is bringing back Enid Blyton‘s classic characters the Famous Five in a brand-new adventure.
