It's so easy to get caught up in whatever everyone else needs from you and never take a moment to think about what you need from yourself.

I know when I'm show running, the last thing I'm thinking about usually is me.

I'm thinking about all the things I need to do and people I need to please.

But when we spend all of our time giving, it can leave us feeling stretched thin and burned out.

And in those times therapy can be so helpful so you get back in touch with yourself and know what you need to do to thrive.

If you're thinking of starting therapy, give Better Help a try.

Often what stops people is the convenience factor and Better Help is entirely online.

It's designed to be convenient, flexible and suited to your schedule.

I had heard this and I suspected that the following observation was apocryphal.

It sounds too good to be true, but apparently it is really true.

Actual pick pockets tend to hang out near beware of pick pocket signs.

Because it turns out when people see a sign on the street or in the subway that reminds them to beware of pick pockets,

the first thing they do is to check their pockets, their purses, their watches, their jewelry, to make sure that their most valuable possessions are still safe.

And in this way, they signal to pick pockets exactly where their valuables can be found.

This little story shows the inexhaustible ingenuity of mankind.

And about how we should always be on the lookout for unintended consequences.
