“The business benefits of living a healthy lifestyle”

 

Living a healthy and positive lifestyle has always been relevant, but it was only in 2012 that all 193 United Nations member states officialised wellness as a human right and created the International Day of Happiness.

The global campaign aims at shifting our perception of wellness from a purely money-based to a more human and healthy-related state.

It has been recognised that living a healthy lifestyle lies at the core of the pursuit of happiness:

being healthy is great for your body, mind and your business. Oh, and it has amazing social consequences, too.

And freelancing is not different. Indeed, busy freelancers love their job but often forget about their healthy lifestyle and, month after month, year after year, pile up weight, become less active, less focussed, negative, often weak. So weak they forget to create a happy life and a happy business.

Living a balanced and healthy lifestyle is key to feel better, but also to be a better entrepreneur.

Exercise improves attention and stamina, boost your memory and mood, but it also heals the fatigue caused by a hectic schedule and makes you more creative.

During this presentation we will see

• How business and exercise are related
• What are the most health common problems that a translator faces when starting this profession
• What are the benefits of exercise
• How can translators and freelancers benefit from exercise
• How to be a healthy freelancer: choose the right activity, find the time, etc.

At the end of the presentation we will also discuss your experience and the speaker will share tips and ideas.
