What Do I Stand For? I Forget!

perspectiveI am 26 years old and when Bev asked me how I was doing with my “What do I stand for”, I said I had forgotten what I had wrote. She said that this would make me an excellent contributor!

I had forgotten. At the moment, I am holding a job and going to school. I feel like I am in survival mode. I have trouble remembering stuff to do in everyday life, let alone remember “What do I stand for!” I had decided to postpone any higher thinking until after everything was over. I typically think of my goals into the future, rather than right now. Now, I have to survive. I find it hard to be inspirational when I am stressed.

So this is my conclusion; it is important to slow down each day, even if it is just for 2 minutes. In those 2 minutes, I can breathe, bring in a larger perspective and remember what I stand for. My learning right now is to be whatever part of it can be NOW, and not further postpone it. I don’t have to do it all, just a little or part of it.

It is my hope that this helps someone else.

Mastery Practice Tool

A Beautiful Spacious Space

This is a beautiful exercise. Take a moment to pause...and in that pause repeat to yourself the words "non-thinking mind". You are inviting yourself to experience the non-thinking mind. Say this several times, and imagine that space is being created in your mind and in your awareness. A beautiful spacious space.

Then shift your focus into your heart and feel gratitude for what is precious to you. Feel the warmth of that feeling, and let the sensation move through you. After a few moments of drinking this in, allow for a big sigh and then invite yourself to go even deeper into Deep Appreciation...at the deepest level of space that is available for you.

Allow yourself to feel this in its entirety. Feel the sensations. When you are ready, move your focus from the "things" in your life, and enjoy feeling the different sensations and perspectives. This is beautiful!

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.
