Groundwork is a way of “showing up” - even without feeling like it.

 
To lay the groundwork for flow—for falling into that magic place of doing creative work—we can lay the groundwork to prepare for the creative state. This is often tending to ourselves and maintaining of care so that we are ready for the creative work. The groundwork is all the stuff we can do—without feeling like it or being inspired—to keep showing up.

Jocelyn Glei, Laying the Groundwork for Inspiration
Groundwork is the practice of asking: What are the rituals and practices that help me feel more grounded, connected, and expansive?

Groundwork is engaging with those rituals and practices before you decide whether or not you are “in the mood” to be creative.

Groundwork is how you show the muse that you are dedicated to showing up.
