love the rebrand and really agree something magical was unleashed - it has been amazing to see
spent the whole weekend 2 weekends ago talking with kelly and she was overflowing with creative ideas - I wanted them to be unleashed so badly. i love that it happened
Love this! It also reminds me of Internal Family Systems parts work. There’s resistance to sustaining something because there’s a part of you who is protecting you from something. Speaking to that part and letting them know you’re grateful but that they are working on an old script from the past. There’s not a real threat anymore. Acknowledging them and finding out what they think the threat is and working with them to update them with reality. Fascinating stuff!
Feeling really excited about this parallel you've drawn between creative dysregulation and exercise dysregulation, Sam! I sense the word 'dysregulation' is one that really serves a lot of experiences where we have inconsistency and inner turmoil. Even 'relationship dysregulation' or 'financial dysregulation.'
What I didn't share in V1 of the book but am going to for the print version is that I actually think creative dysregulation relates to attachment styles and strategies (e.g., secure, avoidant, disorganized, anxious). My creativity, for example, has been an expression of disorganized attachment and avoidant. I've absolutely experienced that with exercise as well — from being non-committal to a particular fitness path, starting/stopping, and avoiding it altogether (out of an aversion to the pain, shame and overwhelm that it brought up in me). But as I've healed my attachment wounds in other areas of life (namely partnership, relationships and creative work), I've been able to stabilize my fitness routines too and find greater joy in the process.
I'm curious if attachment styles/strategies and fitness lands for you at all?
Also, just feeling deeply grateful and in awe that you wrote this newsletter. Thank you for the glowing words and for sharing my book with your ecosystem of wonderful humans ❤️ Big hugs and love to you, Sam! And congratulations on the name change! It's super awesome and I love the font you chose 👏
