Dos and Don’ts
We get ‘do’ and ‘don’t’ messages all our lives. Starting from when we are babies: “don’t touch that,” “do look before you leap,” “don’t get too big for your boots,” “do respect your elders.”
How about if we turned those messages around and told ourselves:
“Do touch that.”
“Don’t look before you leap.”
“Do trust that, whatever happens, you will survive – and you may even thrive.”
As a coach, I spend quite a lot of time supporting my clients to put down the confining messages they have absorbed over time, and to replace them with liberating messages that encourage them to live and love and laugh and light up the world.
None of them are restricting.
None of them are warnings.
None of them are fear-based.
I just posted a blog on my coaching website. It is the fourth in my Alphabet Blog Coaching series and looks at the letter D. It is all about the Dos and Don’ts I try to teach my clients.
I hope they help you too.
They are all aimed at liberating you. At helping you to own yourself and your brilliance. They are all there to support you in being brave and taking risks, rather than being scared and protecting yourself from possible – not probable, but possible – pain.
Have a look and tell me which ones you think I left out?
Feeling overwhelmed in your life, work or relationships?

- “I have seen various psychologists and therapists but none of them have the skill of Judy in being able to relate to me and the way I think about things.”
- “Judy, you have given me the tools to change and move my life in directions I never knew possible. I am truly grateful for your help.”
- “Perception is everything and working with Judy has helped me realise my true potential by changing my outlook of life into more positive ones. I enjoy walking out of a life coaching session feeling like I am in control again, less stressed and more energetic.”
- “Judy is my go-to person when I find myself uncertain about how to interpret the signposts in my life. Her insights and ability to draw out what lies deepest inside have helped provide clarity and integrity at pivotal life moments over many years.”
- “I’d recommend Judy to anyone who’s feeling stuck, weary, confused, discouraged, uncertain, in need of support – basically, I’d recommend her to any carbon-based life form that breathes oxygen and would like to have a wonderful life.”
