Working from home online and being your own boss, offers lots of benes and perks. It also can create some unique physical and mental health challenges! Carpal tunnel, back pain, weight gain, eye strain, stress, feelings of isolation and depression are common health concerns for affiliate marketers.
Additionally, although not talked about much, addictions including substance abuse and severe Internet addiction, leading to or verging on social anxiety disorder are common. It's much easier to self medicate and indulge in bad habits when you don't have to show up in an office and face the boss!
Health, energy and PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) are as vital for success in our businessas any "how to do the nuts and bolts of affiliate marketing" blog or ebook. Mental health and PMA in particular is something I'd like to focus more on and always plan to - but blogging about industry news, practical tips and new tools always seem to take precedence.
Since my carpal is killing me, I'm suffering from a caffeine jones (trying to kick the habit) PLUS I'm feeling lazy & just want to sit on my big fat butt 
I'm not going to write a big long post about this today. Instead, I'll just point you to a great blog I just discovered that has a ton of good resources.
