My WIFI keeps disconnecting so I cannot stream. The tech will be here Tuesday morning. Until I can stream, I'll be engaging in a lot of self care. A friend here suggested that I just relax and take care of myself, and I agree.
Maybe you know this already, but wifi shouldn't be used for camming, especially to stream to a high-bandwidth demanding site like Streamate. You really should be hard wired if possible. I know wifi does work sometimes, but since I got an ethernet cord my placement went up a lot. I just draped it through the room until I got a chance to do a better job and use clips to put a longer cord along the walls.

Right. I have to purchase an add-on as my laptop doesn't have a port. I'll be doing that soon. Thanks.

Ran into a huge snag. Tech came out and applied a splitter to lower my signal to prevent disconnection, but that didn't resolve the issue. I called Spectrum and escalated the call to a specialist and a guy is coming out in 2 hrs. FUCK...gotta remain chill. Everything will be ok. If they fix it by 4pm, I can still stream 6 hrs tonight then do 8 hrs Wed, Thurs, Fri, and Saturday to catch up. I really only have to stream 20 hrs this week so putting in some extra time will be helpful. Just gotta chill.
Started today great: 9hrs excellent sleep, yummy coffee, 16 oz water, and a good mood.
Did my 20 min Ho'oponopono meditation session:
52127
And also did a 5 min EFT tapping session on abundance. I legit felt a super great buzzing feeling directly after the EFT tapping session and was vibrating so high during my shower.
Going to eat clean, drink 20 oz water, then study EFT more.

Welp...I did my first day shift and made $8. I didn't really go in expecting anything, but I will have to cam tonight in hopes to make up the difference. Yayyy :/ lol.

Starting the day off right with 8 hrs 44 min rest, strong cup of green tea kombucha, and a good mood.
Did a short 16 min Ho'oponopono negative energy clearing meditation session and I feel calm:
52132
I also did a quick 5 min EFT tapping session for abundance. I'm ready to stream the first 4 hrs of my 8 hr shift today.
Intentions are to eat clean, drink 80 oz water, keep my vibe up, and smile. Will meditate and do EFT tapping later.

Hr 2 of this 4 hr shift. Took a quick break to eat 2 eggs scrambled in extra virgin olive oil, a tablespoon of avocado ranch dressing, and sauerkraut plus drank 20 oz water.
Did a quick 5 min EFT tapping session on abundance.
I feel happy and calm.

So last night, I kinda lost it after I got offline. The past few weeks have been very stressful and I popped. Cam doesn't suck, Tuesdays are generally not great so Idk why I set myself up for depending on my slow day to see me through. I'm upset with myself for not having a savings to tap into when I absolutely need it. I think that's what I'm gonna work on the rest of the week. Gonna work tonight and see if I can make my last two days of daycare even if I have to pay late fees. I'm just gonna have to pull an all nighter if anything. My goal is $57 dollars so we'll see.

Have you tried a google mesh wifi? I think that is what it is called.. we bought that but it didn't work for us because a concrete wall blocks the signal from the modem to the rest of the house uggh.. so yea we just gotta move then..lol.. I need the modem where it is...

I have 8 hrs planned, and with how slow it's been during SM contest I'm gonna have to stop every hr and do that 5 min EFT tapping for abundance.
My intentions are to eat clean, drink 80 oz water, keep my vibe up, and meditate.

Done my nails yesterday with a nice red gel polish, washed my hair, hydrated with a mask and feeling like a Goddess. Gonna do my toes too (doing gel nails take longer, because I have to cure them under the lamp, but is easier to do than normal nail polish).
I also promised myself that, by the end of the month, I won't look at any models room anymore. I won't scroll twitter either.
I will just mind my business, post when I am online and just focus on my hustle. I like to see print screens on twitter with massive tributes, but sometimes it makes me feel bad for myself.
I look at other models for inspiration and motivation, but there are times when I feel inferior and that brings my mood down, especially when is slow for me and I see other models do well.
I also started to post and look again at the LOA thread. I used to be good at practicing it.
Time to do it again, focus on me and my well being. No more looking over the fence, unless I need top ugrade something and need inspiration.

It was terribly slow earlier, so I logged off after 2 hrs and cleaned then did some EFT tapping research.
I meditated on the Ho'oponopono for 12 min and feel calm and sure
52145
I also did 6 rounds of EFT tapping for anxiety and financial stress. Man, I feel so much better.
I still have 6 hrs left to stream today. I'll do my best and break after every hr if I have to.

Man, I just can't seem to stay on. I do an hr then log off to do some negative energy clearing and EFT tapping for prosperity.
This contest is killing my good vibes. I hardly have any traffic on SM and I'm starting to lose hope. IDK how I've even streamed 16 hrs so far. Sitting in a dead room just seems to kill my optimism.
I'm gonna try to stay on for 6 hrs. I did a LOA visualization and I'm going to try to keep my vibe up.
Eaten clean: veggie spaghetti and had 40 oz water so far.

No joke, its been an awful week. I have been distracted, traffic has been dead, havent made shit, and I hadnt made low goal a single day this week, and my low goal is literally just $100 (you can forget high goal)....today I said to myself im gonna make it, I asked the universe to make it so;however its still been slow af and dead and i was losing hope....lo and behold my oldest and most loyal client (from when I first started, before i even had tits, he was my first custie and eventual room moderator on CB and showed me the ropes, so he has been in my life for about 5 years now) pops up and sends me $100 out of nowhere for a custom video. Thank you universe!!!! I needed that desperately.

I wish it was a normal week, not a contest one. :( I'm done with my goal, but I feel so much pressure to log on and try grabbing a bigger prize. But I don't want to, I wanna lay in bed. Still, my dumb ass brain is pushing me "give it another try, don't be lazy". I'm my worst enemy.

I definitely had huge anxiety, from adding on too much work. Yes it can feel secure having multiple sites paying you, but the stress can pile on since it's coming from multiple companies. the whole working to make payout and dealing with site glitches.
So I've lessen my work load to 4 cam sites, I've come to the conclusion since the last time I worked niteflirt was 2005 it's probably a good reason why i haven't got back to working there.
I have this fear I won't make money, I have no idea where it came from not like it has ever happened I've always made something. I am eating everyday so clearly money is coming in. I refuse to visit a food bank after getting super expired food that gave me food poison.
I am starting to wonder how healthy is it to be working from home full-time for so many years. I know many who have jobs out the house tend to eventually hate their jobs and change and burn out.
but the new way of things where so many people can work from home full-time for well over a decade now I am wondering what type of psychological side effects it has.

That's good, but I'd still pick up an adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-1000-Gigabit-Ethernet-Adapter/dp/B00M77HMU0/
so you can wire your laptop in and not use wireless. If it works like it did for me it will increase your placement and traffic so much.

I often wonder the same. I've doubled up on meditation since camming full time. We have no clue what the damage is.

Streamed 6 hrs for $144 on SM. Fuck, it was horrible. I was literally doing cartwheels on my bed. My back hurts, my brain hurts, & for that amount...my soul is crushed.
I'm currently doing the Ho'oponopono to clear all negative energy.
I have a Reiki Chakra healing session at 3pm & thank God for that. This SM contest has been a nightmare.
After the Reiki session I'm going to take Benadryl & sleep 12 hrs.
Jesus Christ I'm wiped out!!!

Well, I literally feel a weight was lifted off my chest. My Reiki practitioner unblocked 5, yes FIVE, Chakras worked on the other 2, gave me calming energy, & re-established my abundance shield.
She has prescribed more rest & to do absolutely NOTHING on Tuesday my day off.
Will be obeying orders.
Man, I feel so much relief!!!

Still falling asleep to positive affirmations of self-confidence, health, wealth and abundance. It's like clockwork: awake at 1am.
Gonna get on cam I think. Stream 5 hrs then nap.
Dunno what else to do.

I feel you. I was up after 6 hours as well, and that's not enough for me. I used to deal with a bit of insomnia, melatonin helped back then. I still take it sometimes.
Yesterday wasn't my day, all the anger I felt toward work, especially toward SM, all I wanted was food to comfort me but I had enough will power to not break my fast. My blood pressure went high and I felt like crap. That explains why I only got 6 hours sleep. You're probably stressed too.

Yes, I think last week put me down too. Although I'm on other sites I still want and need to earn from SM too.
Yes, thank you for asking, it's okay now, I am calm today and I plan to keep calm all day. Gonna stream in an hour, putting some make up on now.

My cat used to vomit a lot until I started limiting how much I feed him at a time. I feed him about 1/8 cup of Royal Canin gastro dry food at a time. If I give him too much at once he will throw it right up. He lets me know when he's hungry. I feed him a few times during the day and he also wakes me up at night. It's like having an infant but he's worth it.
I hope your kitty continues feeling better!

Glad she's ok. I hear you. I raised 9 fancy rats and a ferret. They had to go to the vets often too. They only live on avg about 3 years and the ferret 9. It's hard when they can't tell us what's wrong. I loved each pet like a child. I'm thinking of getting another rat. I need a pet.

Thanks Carmen. I wish it was that but she's not eating a lot. From all of my cats, I think she is the only eating a normal amount of food actually. She's also on Royal gastro and digestive.

Ok I'm hopping on the self care bandwagon beginning today. For me this means, eating clean, getting regular exercise, adequate rest, and meditation as well as practicing LOA daily. I've been slacking on EVERYTHING and its really starting to affect me. I'm going to create a plan later today. As part of this process I plan is to post in here daily as to what I've accomplished to keep myself accountable. My 14 year old is getting into weight lifting so Ill have him as a workout buddy :)
Cheers to self care!
