Posture - Try and keep a good posture in the workplace, if you're slouching that can have a negative impact on your breathing - maybe consider some Alexander Technique

Snacking - snacking on rubbish is going to have a negative impact on your mood and in time your overall health. Snack Healthy!

Taking crap from your boss - he might pay your wages but he does'nt have the right to speak to you like something he scraped off the bottom of his shoe, if your boss is overstepping the mark then challenge him on it. You have more rights as an employee than an employer
