If you work in a shared office space, chances are, you have been invited to networking events and turned them down. Maybe you were actually busy, or maybe you thought they would be a boring waste of time. Actually, these events can be incredibly beneficial, and any business person serious about their growth should invest some extra attention into them.

Networking events can help you expand your network (big surprise, right?) of colleagues, mentors, customers, employees, friends, the list can go on. You never know what kind of connections might spring from them. And we are all familiar with the old adage, “It’s not what you know, but who you know”.

Some people dream of a job where they can sit on their bum all day. Obviously, these people don’t work behind a desk.

It’s no secret that sitting all day can be bad for our bodies, but do you know just how bad? Recent research has shown that being sedentary for long periods of time is literally killing us. Our chances are greatly increased for practically all ailments; heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, obesity, etc. And that’s not all. Sitting at a desk all day can cause major spine and alignment issues, shoulder pain, eye strain and migraines if you stare at a computer, and wrist problems if using a keyboard.

Just like any life commitment, it takes dedication. And this one is worth it, especially if you’re confined to an office all day. It can be so easy to just grab snacks from the vending machine, like chips and a pop, and lunch from the local fast food joint or restaurant. But when you give up control of what you eat, you are not only stressing out your body, but your brain as well. Food fuels your brain too. If you are prone to feeling your energy and focus levels draining at work, you may be a culprit of feeding your brain too much junk.
