Standing in line at the coffee shop at my hotel, behind a guy who had just come from the gym. He was joined by one of his colleagues, who cut in front of me. Then, the two of them were joined by ANOTHER one of their colleagues. I was stunned - cutting, twice? So I said, “do y’all usually cut in line?” The first cutter said, “oh, we are just getting food” (yeah, me too, buddy) and the second cutter said, “we all work for the same company (relevant, how?). The first guy, sort of sheepishly said

Exactly! That’s what was so baffling - totally fine if you want to pay for your buddies, but step aside and let me go first since I am one and you are many.

The whole thing irked me - especially since they could have offered to let me go ahead since there was one of me and three of them.

But - I was also annoyed because I thought, who else are they treating this way, who maybe isn’t comfortable speaking up? I’m going to say something, because I can. Maybe it will make them think twice about their rudeness the next time.

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures. Key word: TRY. I understand it’s not for everyone but to have never even attempted seeking therapy is a injustice to yourself and the people around you.

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)

I have a Q that I worry is going to make me sound like a jerk, but want some opinions. I do strength training 2x/wk with a trainer who was assigned to me at a gym where I bought a pack of sessions.

I pay $150 per session for these workouts (cont’d in comments)…

I genuinely think I’m on the brink of quitting. Nope, I have no exit plan, no job searches started, not even an updated resume.

My body is physically breaking down from a year of high stress and I’ve been on the brink of a panic attack for the last four days. I don’t want to do anything stupid, but I don’t know how much longer I can last. Thoughts?
