The original job description
About
We’re no strangers to the pitfalls of ignoring your well-being.
We started Manual because we spent years sweeping everything under the carpet until everything piled up and the carpet wore out.
Overweight, anxious, unable to sleep, run down and fatigued are just some of the problems we’d stacked up between us. Not a pretty sight.
We began to talk to each other, then to others, and actively sought help. The more we talked, the better we felt. The more we got to know about the solutions, the more we implemented them into our lives. And guess what? Looking after yourself head to toe, inside and out, really works.
But hey, we’re far from fixed, it’s a journey. We’re building Manual for all of us. To help figure out the best routes to well-being central.
So grab the guide, shift gears, and let’s get rolling. Health and happiness? Let’s do this.
