Guiltypleasure

Feeling guilty about enjoying something often stems from societal pressures or internalized beliefs about what's 'good' or 'productive.' It's important to examine where those beliefs come from and whether they genuinely align with your values. Sometimes, it's just about giving yourself permission to enjoy things without judgment!

Not necessarily! As long as your guilty pleasures aren't harming you or others, and they don't become a way to avoid dealing with important things, they can be a harmless way to de-stress and boost your mood. Think of them as little self-care moments.

Start by challenging those negative thoughts. Ask yourself *why* you feel ashamed. Is it because of what others might think? Remember that you're allowed to enjoy things that make you happy, even if they seem silly or unconventional. Sharing your guilty pleasures with a close friend who won't judge can also help!
