Be Bad - Handout

A common health myth is that we always have to be “good,” eat perfectly, and act perfectly. Being “good” means different things to different people, but it usually means following the rules, being a “good” person by putting everyone else before yourself, conforming to societal norms and behaviors, and doing everything perfectly. The self-imposed obligation to be “good” can get in the way of our true desires and can lead to a lack of fulfillment.
