Consider your Environment

While music can serve as a catalyst for us to achieve goals, there are many other factors that influence our mood, motivation, and likelihood to succeed. 

When attempting to make lifestyle changes or implement new habits, it’s essential to consider these as your chances of success depend on them! 

Untidy room/cluttered home environment: This increases the chances of us becoming bogged down in old habits. Old clothes, old possessions, items, and reminders of the lifestyle you’re trying to change should be cleared away when seeking to implement lasting change. 

Diet & exercise: Even if you’re not seeking to make drastic changes in your diet as part of your New Life New You plan, we must always consider the food we eat when attempting to maintain or achieve any of our goals. 

Personal Relationships: This can be tricky, as we’re not always aware if a relationship might hinder our progress or prevent us from taking steps towards new goals until we start our journey towards achieving them. Being open and honest about your goals (see previous posts) with loved ones is ultimately the best way to cultivate a stronger connection and sense of support. That way if something goes wrong, you’ll have support, and if something goes right, you’ll have someone to celebrate with! It’s a win-win, really! 

What environmental factors are holding you back?

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.
