I am Emily Jones, aged 34. I work for an advertising firm. I have worked very hard to get where I am today. Possibly, striving and struggling for years has made me very complacent and my health has suffered. I seem to have become a chronic sufferer of minor ailments like headaches, frequent colds, digestive problems and other stomach infections. Over the years, my health has declined and my passion for work has declined. Visits to doctors have not helped much. I guess I need to take a break and seek some inner healing. Can someone help?

Hi Emily and welcome to the forums.  Often headaches, colds and digestive problems are related to poor diet and perhaps dehydration.  Perhaps some more information on your diet might help, also are you sleeping well?

I guess you have pushed yourself too far to achieve the milestones in your career. In the process, you have neglected your physical self and denied yourself the care and good health. It is never too late. Take heart. You can always bounce back with great health all over again. http://www.inspiredwomen.com.au is a site I came across. It is all about changing your mind through a method of neuro linguistic programming. It aims at changing your old out dated beliefs for better living. I am sure you will find it helpful.

I totally agree with Stephen that you are facing due to poor diet. It will take some time to recover. You should go with specific doctor yet. You should never think negative about your health. Sleep well and eat fresh food, you will definitely turn back well.
