Hey Cherie, I’ve been mapping out a quick 5‑minute warm‑up that ends with a quick sketch or a pose that sets the mood—think of it as a movement ritual for your art. You ever tried a routine like that to kick‑start your creativity?

I usually sketch a perfect squat that pulls every muscle into line, the hips tipped just so, the core engaged, and the breath shown as a slow, steady wave. I’m obsessed with the subtle tilt of the spine, the angle of the knees, the way the light hits the calves. It’s a quick flash of form that reminds me that every movement is a conversation between body and mind. Hydrate before, hydrate after, and keep that rhythm alive—rest days are a myth, but a good sip of water keeps the energy flowing.

When the muse’s shy, I turn the routine into the trigger, not the reward. Hit the mat, do a 3‑minute mobility circuit—hip openers, shoulder rolls, a quick squat, a breath that’s a clock. Then grab a glass of water, splash it on the wrists, feel the chill. The rhythm isn’t waiting for inspiration, it’s setting the stage. If the creative spark still feels dim, just keep moving. The body stays ready, the mind is wired, and before you know it the muse will answer because you’re already humming that beat. Remember: rest is a myth, hydration is a law.
