    Default Self-Sabotage

    Hiya Girls...I've just stumbled outta bed at 11pm Wednesday night after a 15 hour sleep preceded by five Dunkin Donuts. Yes FIVE. Didn't mean to eat more than two, but somehow all five disappeared as I watched TV and mentally planned my Wednesday full of camming. But no camming happened. NOTHING happened, except stumbling from bed at 5pm to let the UPS guy into the building to deliver my new glass dildo which I bought to help improve my camming business. And as I left the unopened box on the floor and stumbled back to bed for another six hours, it occured to me that would WOULD help my camming business even more than a new glass dildo is NOT eating five donuts in one sitting and then spending the entire day sleeping off a sugar hangover!

    Well I'm up now, I'm going to ease myself back into humanity with a little yoga then a shower.

    My question is, how do you ladies shoot yourself in the foot, or how do you avoid shooting yourself in the foot, and what do you do to get back on track?

    This is self-employment. Running your OWN business. You have to learn how to work it and don't give up. . .some people just don't do well with it and need a boss or what not...

    i think about the bills that need to be paid and how i like to have a roof over my head and food in my fridge and not be getting calls from bill collectors and shit.

    i'm disabled. i am seriously fatigued. if i eat stuff that makes me crash i can't function at all. so i pay attention to what i eat before i work because if i eat like pumpkin cinnamon roll pancakes (which i made the other day, fucking epic) i will be taking the day off, lol. but i'm used to being self-employed and having to motivate myself and keep track of my own shit.

    This is one of the hardest things about being self-employed, you don't answer to anyone except yourself, so if you're not motivated you can end up broke. My first month or two of camming I was lazy and making excuses all the time, "Ill log on later...I don't feel like doing free chat..I'm tired Ill go on tomorrow....etc." I would always say "tomorrow I'll work" and tomorrow never came!

    When I saw how low my bank acct had gotten and how many bills piled up, I cut down on the distractions and forced myself to put down the bong and shut off the TV..and get to work! Now I make sure to fit in a certain amount of hrs camming almost everyday, and when I'm not camming I'm shooting videos to sell.

    One thing that really helped me get motivated was printing out pictures of the car and apartment I want and putting them next to the computer. It also helps if you remember that anything can happen and you don't wanna put off working...that helps me a lot. Now if I start feeling lazy and thinking that I'll work tomorrow, I remember that tomorrow might suck, I might get sick, power might go out...so I need to get on TODAY!

    I did the same exact thing you did today, sans the donuts. I work 7 days a week. Today was the first day in I don't know how long that I didn't get on cam and didn't do a reading. I didn't intend to take the day off, in fact, I thought I was going to work like any other day, but was tired and went to take a *short nap*. LOL

    I consider today my Christmas present to myself. I deserved a day off after not having one since I don't know when!

    I focus of what I want to achieve, like a car, or cosmetic surgery.
    Don't beat yourself up over the donuts or your unproductive day. Those days are necessary every once in a while. Because we aren't robots.
    Accept this day and accept yourself and go out there refreshed for a new day with new opportunities.

    i know what really has been helping me lately is not just focusing on hours put on cam but how much money i am making, like "i won't stop camming today until i reach x amount". also i put together a vision board of all the things that i want and want to achieve in the near future and that really helps too. make a board and put a pic of all the things you want really bad, giving yourself something to work towards really helps greatly. also flushing negative thoughts out of my mind helps improve my mood for camming, when a negetive thought enters ur mind, immediately replace with a thought that makes you feel happy, or if that doesn't work do anything that will help you make you feel good inside, like listening to a song, taking a relaxing bath or yoga, etc. it's very hard to be self employed so i feel ya on that, but that's why we gotta get creative and find what motivates u as a person and once you find ur groove, u will be set.

    Thanks for the pep talk lades! I dusted myself off today and have had a decent day! Yeah, next time I walk into Dunkin Donuts, I'm going to remember how shitty I felt after eating five, and how I made no $ that day. That should keep my consumption down to one donut.
