How do you stay motivated and productive in your art practice?

I need to get my creative juices going in order to paint or draw. I remove my clothes, turn on some sensual music, and meditate for about an hour. Sexual arousal helps a lot. Just being honest. I also bathe my body in sunlight during this time. Sunlight speaks to me and greatly empowers the creative process. It sets up and fuels the fire in my mind. I also draw images, color, form, and texture from the fabric of music.
