Bev and What’s Next

May 8th, 2018

Bev

“Rather than planting the seeds, see what regenerates.” ~Chris Dierkes

Hello everyone,

As many of you know, I have been on a sabbatical. I love the work I do and the people who are courageous enough to step up to the plate and ask for help. Over the past year, I have stepped back and given myself space to just hang out. I have worked since I was 21, so it has been an interesting year for me!! Actually, I never really felt I was ‘working’… it always felt more like I was sharing and growing and bringing everyone with me as I grew.

Self-growth is truly an experiential experience. It takes awareness, commitment, devotion and accountability. It can be hard work, but it’s oh so rewarding!!!!!!! I have enjoyed every single step.

I can feel it is time for me to move into another part of me. The one that hasn’t really had the opportunity to play in different ways. I know there are parts of me that haven’t had full expression. My adulthood, like yours, has been mapped out with responsibilities. I am now in a place where responsibilities are no longer the same. That means that I can give myself the opportunity to listen to my impulses, and play in other ways that haven’t been available.

So yes, I am changing direction. The word is retirement. I know my first step out will be to continue to travel, and probably Northern India is the next place I will explore. How exciting is this?

Knowing me, I will continue to share in some way. I may send you newsletters as I experience some inspiration. There are many ways of sharing, and I look forward to see what comes up for me.

Is it okay to email me? Yes! I would love to hear from you, and have an update. I would love to respond.

My wish for you all is to love yourself enough to keep growing, and know that growth comes not from blaming others or your environment, but from what is going on inside of you. Keep fighting for yourself… the true playing field is inside you, not outside.

We all have the capacity to learn. Our power and our growth comes from our learning. As you go through life, be open to learning the pieces that are important for you. Take them on, and practice integrating them. They will become part of you. All of us have that capacity.

So, I would like to say to you all, “Go for it!”. It has truly been an honour working with you.

Thank you.

All my love,
Bev

    Hi Bev. Wishing you every good wish and God’s blessings for your retirement.

    Thank you for being there. I was going to add “when I needed you” but really that need never ends. So take care and enjoy your travels. Coincidentally, Julio and I are going to India in October.

    Love. Mary

    Congratulations on your retirement! Thank you so much for your guidance; I have shared breathing exercises with many students and friends and family members. We are all well and I have retired for a year now. Time is flying by – I can’t believe it has taken me this long to send a note! I would love to hear more from you when you have time to write again.

Mastery Practice Tool

Transition breathing. Breathe in through your nose to the count of four. Breathe out through the mouth to the count of eight. Do this for one minute between all the small and large transitions in your life. I do this between work and home, between activities, before talking to my family if my mind has been elsewhere.

It works! Give it a try.

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.
