The Most Common Guilty Pleasures

8. Belting Out The Tunes

Music is known for its expressive nature and finding a song to relate to can help a person get through all kinds of tough situations. Whether it is a break-up, getting fired from work, or just an altogether bad day, there seems to be a song out there for every life scenario.

Whether alone in the house, making a solo road trip, or locked away in the shower, singing top hits at loud volumes is always a great way to relieve stress. It forces the brain to focus on something other than daily responsibilities and singing is known for calming the mind. It can quickly boost one’s mood and help to re-energize anyone. Belt it out to help release the tension, then keep pushing forward.

7. Over-Indulging On Snacks

While maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important in keeping the mind and body strong, splurging every now and then can actually be good for you. Everyone has foods they find themselves avoiding, due to their unhealthy qualities, but eating them occasionally will not hurt your diet and it offers a nice temporary boost in mood.

That being said, finding the right balance is important. Over-eating on a constant basis will only cause harm and tends to encourage negative moods and life outlooks. Yet, deprivation can have these same negative side effects, so no one should feel too guilty for grabbing a cookie (or two or three) every once in awhile.
