There is a plethora of information that discusses many issues regarding the effects that poor work habits have on health. These topics can range anywhere from complications from sitting over long periods of time to staring at a computer for too long. Work-induced stress is a known major culprit for health issues throughout the working world. But did you know that on the flip-side of this topic is the devastating impact that poor daily health habits have in the workplace.  Poor health choices in life create habits that not only lead to poor health, but are also indicators of poor business habits. The recurrent practice of poor habits are usually reflected in less than best marketing practices.

Here are four example of poor health choices that can result into poor marketing choices.

Lack of exercise translates to lack of energy and stamina. When thinking about counting the costs before making a commitment to do something; it just doesn’t make sense to begin a project that you never intend to finish. Yet this is exactly what happens to business potential, when we do not strengthen our bodies. Physical activity strengthens the mind as well as the body. The benefits of physical exercise in a daily routine have significant impact on, and produce a positive outcome for your business goals. Regular exercise promotes positive mood, improved cognitive control and working memory, as well as significant improvement in coping with the day to day stress that comes with running a business and keeping up with fresh new marketing strategies and the constantly changing market trends.
Lack of portion control is daily diet translates to lack of discipline in other areas of life. Lack of portion control can result from not knowing the proper portion size.   Yet, on a larger scale, this poor life habit can really be the manifestation of lack of self-control.  One researcher suggests that we are enslaved to the environment. This means that without ‘self’ taking control, self allows the environment to be in control.  Business owners and marketers must be proactively in control at all times with situation awareness and strategic planning.  The habitual practice of not having self-control can be a great indicator that there are other areas in life and business that may need re-visited.

Lack of sleep at night translates to lack of focus and forgetfulness. If the mind and body are not getting the right amount of sleep, it puts your entire day in jeopardy in many more ways than mentioned here. Lack of sleep affects how we interpret events and greatly impairs the ability to make good judgement calls. Lack of sleep can also be linked to lack of discipline as well. It is important to be disciplined in all areas of your life so that you can reach your full potential in every area of your life, especially in matters of your business success.
Lack of rest, leisure and relaxation translates to lack of creativity and flexibility. Working hard is rewarded by resting, relaxing and playing hard. When a person does not have adequate rest and relaxation between work and everyday duties in life, they decrease their flexible reasoning ability. For anyone in business, and especially in business marketing, creativity is the bread for your butter. Without creativity, there is nothing to make your business stand out from the rest of your competitors. So it is imperative to ensure that you are planning scheduled breaks to rest, relax and rejuvenate your mind!
