I found this on Julie Shahin’s blog and it’s too great not to share!

Fill yourself up creatively

Accelerate movement – Do something, anything, to combat the inertia of staying still. SARK advocates “micro movements” that take anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes to complete. Those micro movements are the building blocks for our creative dreams and most importantly, get us moving!!

To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
- Joseph Chilton Pearce
