Work - Life Balance

Work - Life Balance

Are you struggling with a work life balance?

How can you balance work - life challenges?

Today our society is more plagued than ever by the challenge of balancing work and personal responsibilities. Many live with a feeling of an increased pressure to perform well at work. The Sunday evening dread of the week ahead.

Along with the stress of work can often be a lack of communication and interaction in the home. A lack of friendships and time for laughter and fun.

This can lead to a negative aspect of both office and home environments. This can then be a recipe for mental health and self-image issues.

So how can you fix it?

How do you create a work life balance?

As with any personal lifestyle change, small and consistent changes are key!

It’s only over a period of time implementing new habits and slowly ‘weeding out’ the triggers and stressors that you might begin to see lasting change.

If you stick with me, I’ll be sharing some tips and tricks about how you can improve areas of your personal life which when addressed will hugely impact your home and work life accordingly.

The ‘snowball effect’ of having a balanced and stable personal life is the best way to start ensuring your work life is elevated to the same level, too.

I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!

Emma Alexander-Cook.

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
