And by this definition… you are always working for yourself.
But today’s jobs have moved away from the active workplace and have placed us in dangerous and unhealthy “boxy” work cells (called cubicles).
It is in this desk-box jungle we become unhealthy as we sit in positions unnatural to our body, Then you sit in a car on your way home to your comfortable couch.
On comes the TV where we sit for another 4-5 hours while drowning our sorrows in fat laden high calorie comfort food.
All leading to our butts sitting an average of 13 hours per day. Over eating sometimes 1000 or more calories per day. And then berating ourselves mentally over these failures, crushing our spirits.
No wonder our lives are beat down, our minds are dull, our spirits crushed, and our bodies run down. And the spiral continues downward. So let’s discuss how you can live a fit life at work.
Are you ready to break free of the downward spiral, and start living your passions in life!
