Re: Being kind to myself?
I'll tell guys my real name sometimes because honestly what is going to happen with them knowing my name lol. I've read on here how bad it is to tell customers your real name but I don't think it's a big deal. I'm not giving them my first and last name, social security number, home address, birthdate, and DL number lol. So telling one guy your real first name isn't a big deal. They probably don't even believe you anyway since so many dancers have fake 'real' names.
Taking care of yourself physically can help you feel better about yourself. Eat healthy, workout, drink water, etc. and you'll feel better. Journaling always is helpful in getting out whatever you're feeling or whatever frustrations you have. We've all probably done something a little stupid at work before - I know I have - but you'll get over it pretty fast. Focus on taking care of yourself, learning from that mistake, and going back to work to make money.
And this is an obvious but.. try not to drink too much! lol
Re: Being kind to myself?
Thanks for the response. It helps to have another perspective.
Last night went much better than the first. I kept my alcohol consumption down and felt more focused. Made more money too :)

Dont beat yourself up. We all have off days.
Re: Being kind to myself?
i don't know if that helps but i usually tell myself: 'at least i made some $$$"
obviously only works if you made an amount that makes you happy. i usually only feel bad about myself if i didnt make money on a drunken stupor night
Re: Being kind to myself?
Sweetie, you really didn't do anything THAT bad! You didn't hurt anyone, you weren't malicious, you just let your name slip and really, unless you told him your last name and address, you really don't need to worry that much. But do learn from this. Why don't you make up a fake real name? And ease up on the alcohol.
We all fall down sometimes. What important thing is that we learn from it and change our ways! That's what matters.
