‘Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.’ Hellen Keller

How do you overcome adversity in your life?

Are there any strategies you have used in the past to reclaim your power?

Here are some I have used:

  1. Start believing and trusting in yourself. Adversity is an experience, and it doesn’t define us. Remember that our inner critic can be our worst critic!

  2. Talk positively about what you both think and say. Your self-esteem needs to hear the positive thoughts, so empower yourself today.

  3. Be kind to yourself if life has knocked you. Mistakes happen, but we can learn from them and move forward. Talk to yourself as you would a friend who was going through the experience.

  4. Don’t react to problems. Take ownership of them and choose how you will respond.

  5. This is your life, and we will have low moments and high moments. Adversity can make us better versions of ourselves.

  6. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

  7. Look for opportunities and the silver lining. Sometimes things fall apart for a reason!

  8. Have a plan and take action. Keep to your goals and persist in achieving them.

  9. Be grateful for the adversity. Everything happens for a reason, but sometimes we don’t see it. We learn from these times, and this can empower us.

Adversity can be overcome.

Is it time to show life what you are made of?

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.
