Do what you can

Motivation
Written By Emma Alexander-Cook

Do what you can

Don’t think about what can happen in a month.

Don’t think about what can happen in a year.

Just focus on the 24 hours in front of you and do what you can to get closer to where you want to be.

How was your weekend?

Do you feel rested and relaxed? Or are you thinking about the mountain of tasks you have to get completed this week, before the end of the month. Can you believe it’s almost June?

Is your mind racing with all the tasks you have to complete?

‘Here & now boys! Here & now!’ - Aldous Huxley

Learning to focus our attention on the present moment and current task at hand instead of allowing our brains to swim in the muddle of the week, month or year ahead is of utmost importance to becoming productive and effective in business or personal goals.

Meditation for five minutes at the start and end of the day can centre you and your thoughts. A gratitude journal can help remind you of all you have achieved and everything you are grateful for. I write my gratitude journal just before bed as I love to go to sleep with all the amazing, happy, peaceful thoughts.

Just focus on today and what you can achieve to get closer to where you want to be.

Be grateful for every step in the right direction.

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.
