For a long time, I have known that sometimes you can't seem motivate yourself to do something until it becomes completely necessary. You don't learn a lot of easy things until you are studying for finals and you learn to brush your teeth because you get cavities. Consequences drive action. Topic: Evidence feeling guilty is good for you.
Researchers all around the world are finding people that drink to excess, also seem to lead active lifestyles and exercising more then the non-drinker. This article is one of many talking about how people who drink more often tend to exerciser more often. Evidence number one that guilt is good for you. Sure, you are drinking and potentially causing irreversible liver damage, but your heart is going to be in amazing shape. You feel guilty that you are hurting your body, so you compensate to make up for it. Yay for drinking!
I cam across another article titled, "Recession may boost Life-expectancy." This counter intuitive conclusion that has no clear explanation, but I would like to pretend that people get so worried about disaster that they live healthier and more efficiently. You would assume the stress and lowered levels of sleep would make life expectancy go down, but I think the guilt of an excessive lifestyle gets to people and it helps everyone realize the way they should be living in times like these.
There is a book by Micheal Crichton called "State of Fear" where the heros are trying to stop these radical environmentalist who try and make it seem like the world is falling apart because people will be driven to help their cause because they are terrified of the disasters they create . It is a pretty cool book. I think it is a similar idea though and basically people come together in times of stress and feeling guilty about something is a feeling we should embrace. The day after I take a 'sick' day, I always try and work harder. So maybe one day my whole life will be in order, and it will maybe from overwhelming guilt?
