#203: The Seven Surprising Habits That Grow My Business - Tash Corbin, Heart-Centred Business Podcast

In today's episode, I'm going to share with you the seven surprising habits that support my business growth. And I'm not going to be focusing on the "business as usual" things you would probably expect. I'm going to talk about seven things that might just surprise you.

So let's peel back the curtain and jump straight into it.

I want to talk about these seven habits through the lens of why they support my business growth and also encourage you to think about what habits you need to put in place to ensure you are supporting your business growth as well.

1. Eating completely gluten-free.

This is something I have tried and failed to do (and been on and off the wagon about) for many, many years now. I know that gluten is not good for my body. I know it's not good for my system.

I have had many a naturopath and doctor tell me I should not be eating gluten, and yet delicious gluten just kept creeping back into my eating. But I have now been completely gluten free (aside from a couple of accidents) for at least four months now, and it has made a significant difference to how I feel.

A big thing for me is brain fog. But the biggest impact that gluten has on me is the physical discomfort - it really messes with my digestive system.  I get really bloated, have no appetite, and I lose my sense of hunger for weeks after consuming gluten.

Then I end up with no desire to eat food, and just snack on low nutrition things, which creates a huge cycle for me. But this decision is very specific to me. Going gluten-free is not what I'm talking about today.

I just want you to think about: What is one thing your body needs from you?

Whatever that is, it should be a consistent habit.  Can you make it a priority? For me, I can directly link my consumption of gluten with dips in my income in my business, dips in my productivity, dips in my effectiveness, and dips in my energy.

Some of the big gaps where I didn't release podcast episodes for extended periods of time happened because I was feeling so lethargic with so much brain fog.  There were times I would turn on my recording system to record a podcast episode, and after an hour, I still hadn't formed three coherent sentences.

I know this was happening because of what I was putting into my body. So I just use gluten as one sexy example.

But for you it could be needing to hydrate more effectively. Maybe you're not eating enough vegetables, maybe you need a greater variety of colors of the rainbow in your diet. Maybe you need to stay away from gluten or sugar or dairy or whatever it might be for you.

Whatever that thing is for you, it means that your body is not optimized in terms of its performance.  For me, it's particularly what I'm putting into my mouth.

My habit of eating gluten-free actually impacts my business growth.  I can see direct links between how I feel and how I show up in my business with what I'm putting in my mouth.

2. Taking a slow meandering walk every morning.

This is another of my surprising habits that directly impacts my business growth. I go on a morning walk with my beautiful dog Munchkin. And I'm not a power walker. I wake up so slowly. I have fresh lemon and warm water in the mornings, and then I put my shoes on and I wander out the door with Munchkin. And we go
