    Default Burn out

    I have been working a lot the past 6 weeks. A lot.

    2 days ago I started to feel soooo burnt out.

    I need to push through it but it is so hard. Does anyone have any tips? I have never felt this burnt out but I want to reach my goals.

    I think part of it also may have to do with I have been on a diet- I am just eating really healthy. A lot of times I would reward myself with food if I worked "x" about of hours. It would usually be something sweet so it would give me a sugar buzz while working. Well, I cut sugar out. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. I don't know.

    Please help. I am using every excuse not to get on cam. I am having camera issues but I think that's fixed. I have no excuse to not get on cam but I am about to watch J Shore!!!!

    Fresh air, bath, sleep. One day off to give ou the energy for more work. Bannana on toast (multigrain/wholemeal). Hot cocoa with dextrose.

    Its because its been really slow. Rest up. Do something different. Like if you're working 3 8 hour days, work 5 4 hour days and vice versa. Stay off the slow sites. Maybe take a break from camming for a week or two if you can.

    Take a break, even if it's just for a day or two and use it to sleep in, go outdoors, eat something you love, spend time with family, friends, watch your favorite shows...just step away from work for a little bit. There's times when it's possible to push through burnout, and times when nothing helps until I just give myself a break. You know, when every little bad thing about work is causing a burning feeling in your stomach - that's when I know I need to get off cam for a couple of days. I realized sometimes it's just as good for work to take some time off as it is to work a lot. I find money tends to balance out - working in a shitty mood for 7 or in a fantastic mood for 4 days a week might just yield the same results. You give your custies the opportunity to miss you for a bit, so they'll slam your door down when you come back online and you'll finally get a breather.

    I wish I had any helpful advice, but I just don't have the will to get on cam today. I am hiding in my bed for the rest of the day and then pulling myself up by my bootstraps again tomorrow.

    I say mantras and feel gratitude before getting on cam. Call me crazy but it works. I have 7 post-it notes around my cam station that say things like, "I always attract rich men" "I love how the big spending men always come to me" "I am so lucky that I make this much money every night." Blah, blah. Put yourself in the zone of gratitude and success. You know, law of attraction type stuff.
    I've also been working like a maniac. I've been practically working the past 24 hours with probably 6 hours break in between when you count 20 minute naps, food, showers, here, etc etc. I still have a few hours to go. I feel you. I just know that on Sunday I am spending all day with my friends and we are cooking dinner together and drinking wine. Just keep on thinking of a reward for yourself!

    I'm not sure what's around in your area, but I find what helps during my "burn outs" it simply closing my lap-top and getting out of my apartment for an hour or two. I think it's also important to note that while we can often feel the urge to push through our burn-outs - we're only human. And it can take a big toll on our heads and bodies and we work ourselves to the bone. Especially with the recent lull. Breaking up shifts has helped me, and finding something productive to do in between, like walk around the mall, grab a bite to eat (if I'm strapped, fast food is fine) or just grabbing an Arnold Palmer at the corner store for 99 cents and hanging out at the library. I think the having the ability to just get out for a bit and clear your head helps so much. Especially in our field of work where enough hours on cam can make us feel a little hazy.

    I'm currently trying to recover from a major burnout. I worked SOOO much before Christmas and then took 6 days off in a row starting Dec. 23rd. Then I worked a one day, then took off 5 more days in a row, then worked a couple.... and now I'm pissed off at myself but I'm finally starting to feel motivated again. I've never had a burn out quite like this one before, so I don't have any tips because I'm struggling with it too but I just wanted to say I know how you feel!!! It sure doesn't help that it's been so slow lately.
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    I just got my internet set up today after moving to the new place and was kind of iffy about getting on cam today. But now I'm watching Chicago and it's at the "he had it coming" dancing part and I feel ready to go get my sexy on and empty some wallets I had pretty good burnout going on for a while there because I'm only on MFC and it was crazy slow, plus I don't have much of a hustle yet.

    You might be crazy, but I would be crazier to not give your advice a try next time I am on cam. You know what they say -- even if it is a placebo effect...it is still an effect, dammit. Thanks so much for suggesting this!
