Creative Exercises

To help with your creative me-time, I have created exercises for you. Just pick one you like or do them all! I will try to add a new exercise every week.

On Instagram, I will often upload reels of the exercises as well. You can follow me @thecreativecooldown and check those out.

For each exercise, I will always offer alternative supply suggestions, so you won’t need to buy a lot of stuff to complete them.

Have fun!
