Mentor Note:

“Routine isn’t the enemy of creativity - being out of rhythm with yourself is. When you move in your own rhythm, your work and life feel alive. - Sally Polihronas

Lets Dive in...

Hello Reader,

This week has me thinking about how we work and more importantly, how we flow.
Whether you’ve been in a 9–5, performing on stage, or creating in a studio, the difference between feeling alive and feeling drained often comes down to one thing: rhythm.

I love a routine and they can be comforting, sure, but they can also feel like cages.
When you follow your rhythm instead of a clock, your energy leads the way.
You start creating and showing up in ways that feel effortless, and the right opportunities naturally find you.

Think of it like music: a routine is a metronome - steady, exact, rigid.
Rhythm is the beat of the song - sometimes fast, sometimes slow, but always moving you forward.

​

The Takeaway

Routine can help you get things done.

Rhythm helps you feel alive while doing them.

Your next breakthrough won’t come from doing more.
It will come from noticing your own energy, honouring your flow, and trusting your instincts.

Small shifts in how you move through your day can unlock huge shifts in your work and life.

✨ Remember, this isn’t about whether you call yourself an artist or a creative, it’s about cultivating a creative mindset and way of living.

Creativity isn’t limited to painting, singing, or performing. In fact, many people working in the arts can still be rigid in their thinking.

True creative living is about flexibility, curiosity, and approaching life with openness. That’s the mindset we’re aiming for, and it can take shape in many different ways.

Something to Try

ENERGY CHECK

This week, map your energy instead of your schedule.

• Today, notice when your energy is high, and when it dips.
• Schedule your most creative work for your peak energy times.
• Give yourself space to rest, reflect, or pivot when your energy shifts.

But most importantly find your own rhythym.

​

I appreciate you!

Until next week,

Much love,

Sally xx
