1. You drink a huge cup of coffee in the morning... and pour yourself a refill (or two)
WHY IT'S NOT SO BAD?
A couple of cups of joe may perk you up in more ways than you think. Coffee gets a bad rap because of the caffeine, but it may actually help regulate your mood. 
2. You allow the Debbie Downer in you to sneak out
WHY IT'S NOT SO BAD?
Think you should force yourself to stay positive (no matter what) when difficult things happen? Think again: Research shows that the key to long-term happiness may actually be dropping the "Everything's fine!" act. 
3. You forget to take your vitamins
WHY IT'S NOT SO BAD?
Although vitamins can fill in the gaps to make sure you get all the nutrients your body needs, there's a downside to always popping a vitamin. 
4. You get angry-and show it!
WHY IT'S NOT SO BAD?
"Anger is actually a good emotion that's often misunderstood or irrationally used. It motivates you to take action and remedy situations that are wrong." -Dr. Lemia 
5. You drink beer
WHY IT'S NOT SO BAD?
"Beer is rich in disease-fighting antioxidants. It also provides a dose of energy-revving iron as well as dietary silicon, a mineral that helps promote bone formation, which may improve bone density and help protect against osteoporosis." -Cassie Dimmick 
6. You get stressed about the little stuff
WHY IT'S NOT SO BAD?
Chronic stress is linked to conditions like heart disease, but short-term stress actually has a positive side, pushing you to get things done-and succeed at them. "Stress triggers the hormone cortisol, which helps energize us, revving up our systems to handle the day." -Judith Orloff
7. You skip your workout two days in a row
WHY IT'S NOT SO BAD?
You don't have to exercise hard every day to be healthy. Days off give muscles time to repair and strengthen, something that happens only with rest, he says. You may also get tired of-or start to dread-a strict routine. 
8. You procrastinate by reading those forwarded jokes in your inbox
WHY IT'S NOT SO BAD?
It may seem like a waste of time, but taking a break to do something that makes you laugh is worth it. Here's why a hearty chuckle is so good for you: "Laughter activates blood vessels to release the chemical nitric oxide, which causes them to enlarge and can help reduce blood pressure," -Michael Mille 
9. You take an over-the-counter sleep aid occasionally
WHY IT'S NOT SO BAD?
Taking these pills to induce sleep every once in a while is OK. They can be especially useful if you have trouble sleeping due to nasal allergies or congestion.
