"But sometimes, even a smart woman can have her guilty pleasure moment."
- Nina Ardianti
It's a fact universally known that a forbidden fruit is much more delicious to savour than an ordinary fruit. And we've all indulged ourselves in it. No, don't deny it! You've done it (and so have we ☺️)
The forbidden fruit discussed here is in the form of Guilty Pleasure. The definition is known by almost everyone reading this but we'll elaborate on it just in case. Mr. (Or Miss actually) Google says that a guilty pleasure is something a person heartily enjoys and takes pleasure from it but experiences a little element of guilt from that enjoyment. From embarrassing taste in music to cheat day in a diet schedule, we've all been there and done that!
So why do people indulge themselves in an activity that they associate guilt with?
Sounds contradicting, doesn't it?
Research shows that guilt increases pleasure. In other words, the temptation is almost uncontrollable partly because we know something is bad for us (or that we'll feel guilt after doing so). Let's take an example from our childhood - when your mum said you're not allowed to do certain things, what did you do? That's right! You went right ahead and did exactly the same thing. Why? Because you were forbidden from it. That analogy can be applied in any other scenario. When something is bad for you, you are more tempted and likely to do it than something that's good for you!
This month, Crazy Creatives brings to you ten most commonly known guilty pleasures! Read on to find out and don't forget to let us know what your guilty pleasure is ☺️
