Bad Habits that are good for you!

Other than drinking lots of coffee…Here are 6 more bad habits that could actually be good for you!

Play Video Games
Dr. Kathleen Hall, founder of the Stress Institute and author of “A Life in Balance: Nourishing the Four Roots of True Happiness” recommends 10 to 15 minutes of online computer play to refresh and get you ready to work. Even video games can have a positive effect if you keep your play time to a minimum. Current studies show that certain games and game time can actually help kids concentrate.

Watching TV
Dr. Gary Solomon has not only studied the therapeutic effects of movies and TV shows, but he’s even trademarked the term “cinematherapy.” Solomon says that flawed characters in these shows enable you to dig a little deeper and see that not everyone’s perfect.

Swearing
Let it all out without censoring yourself – privately. Or keep a journal to say everything on your mind without the consequences of telling a real person. If you fear your book will be discovered, take your musings to an online journal. It eliminates the worries of where you left it and who could find it, with your own password to access it whenever you choose. Just remember to select the “private entry” mode when you write something you’re not ready to share.

Picking your teeth in public
Actually, this is extremely useful for your dental health. Helps to remove the food that may cause tooth decay if it stayed in or between your teeth.

Thumb sucking or nail biting
This may have immunity boosting effect. There are lots of bacteria on our hands. Getting the portion of these bacteria regularly makes you more resistant to microbes. And if you combine this with the nose picking, the effect becomes even stronger.

Dress like a slob
Wear whatever you want. Unless you’ve hit celebrity status and are under the constant eye of the paparazzi, ditching your work duds and slipping into something a little more comfortable can help create a whole new attitude to fit with your changed environment. Your outfit gears you up for what’s next — whether it’s mowing the lawn, doing the laundry etc.
