Self Friendship Building

One of the key ingredients in developing a true friendship with ourselves is asking these two core questions:

1. How do I feel right now?

2. What do I need right now?

Then take action on the truth.

It is important for all of us to build the muscle of being aware and knowing what we really feel and need. When we are approval seeking, we are eager to please and we don’t learn how to listen to our bodies, or develop our intuition.

Begin to notice when you are saying “yes” when you want to say “no”... when you are agreeing because your feel scared to take a stand. We are all worth honouring. You are worth honouring. Build your own personal power. This is where your happiness and contentment lies.

Testimonial

Our ability, as parents, to support our children to thrive in stressful situations is becoming more and more important. Children need very specific tools in their self regulation 'tool kits' that they can draw upon to support their success, and trusted adults to coach them in their use. But what are these tools and how to we teach them effectively to our kids?

Thankfully, there is Beverley Pugh! Bev takes a curious and calm approach to supporting children and parents with this journey. She is passionately invested in teaching parents and children ways to reduce anxiety and approach life positively and confidently. Bev is a master of her craft - she draws on years of her own experience as a parent and counsellor to work effectively and respectfully with children and their parents. I have thoroughly enjoyed Bev's recent workshops for parents and children and recommend them to anyone willing to explore specific strategies to help their children thrive at home, at school and in their community.
