Just like it says, how do you do it? I am struggeling at the moment with depression but need the money. So what are some good pick me ups or things that help you get in the mood for work?

I don't feel myself today
Just a figure in a big monopoly game
Struggle is the price you pay
You get just enough just to give it away
I'm sinking but I'm floating away
Throw me a line so I can anchor my pain

Make a new playlist of music to listen to while you cam. I tried that out the other day, and it definitely put me in the mood to start working.

Honestly, I am a firm believer that it doesn't matter WHAT you do, as long as you follow the same routine each time. By doing the same thing, listening to the same song, etc, you are training your mind to start moving into work mode as soon as you hear that song, or do that thing.
I used to have a serious routine when I was stripping, and by the time it was done, I was completely in my other persona.
I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

Hear me ramble about random things:





i think of my goal, be it long term like school or new apt/house, or the new bag or shoes i want ..on the drive there i focus on that, listen to my favorite music, and tune out everything else..i suffer from depression and anxiety too and i know its hard !



Set a small goal and try to reach it. Instead of telling yourself "I need to make $500 by the end of the month" or "I need to cam for 6 hours". Tell yourself to cam until you make $50 or that you need to cam for 1 hour. It may not seem like much but it will put you closer to your bigger goal and you'll feel more accomplished. Usually when I set huge goals, I get all overwhelmed and defeat myself before I even get started. Just do a little bit at a time.
Time will pass quickly regardless of what you're doing. If you are procrastinating / lazing around, it'll be over before you know it, and you'll have nothing to show for it. Why not do something productive? If it's painful, the pain will be over very soon, and you'll be happy at the end of it rather than empty/disappointed/regretful.
Thanks ladies, I think setting a shortish goal would help. I'm going to Disney World in December (yay), and want money so I can buy pins for my collection and stuff. Also gotta get my Capitan Eo gear! I'm excited to go.

Here's what I do....
When I don't feel like working for whatever reason, depression, tired, homework, kids drove me nuts all day, not in the mood for stupid, sore, whatever.... anything...
I ask myself, "What will I be doing if I decide not to work?" The answer is usually, sit on my ass browsing facebook/stripperweb/pinterest, watching a movie, etc. basically just relaxing or whatever. Which is needed.... but not needed 6 days a week!
Then I ask myself, "Is sitting around pinning shit on pinterest for 5 hours WORTH the money I will LOSE by not working???" Absolutely not. Pinning for 5 hours no matter how additcing and how much I love it lol will NOT bring me in $300-$500. So that's COSTING me that much money by doing that instead of working.
Then I usually get up and get my ass to work. I find that listening to upbeat songs while I do my hair and makeup helps me get into working mode.

I play music (sexy songs!) and spend a few minutes dancing around my room. Sometimes if that isn't enough then I stretch, warm myself up and remind myself what sort of awesome shinies I'm going to be spending my mountain of monies on.

I totally have these same thoughts! I seriously consider what I would be doing, besides making money, and if the answer isn't immediately "homework", I get my ass together and make time to log on. I do even a minor amount of makeup because I feel like as long as I'm somewhat presentable for cam, I may as well not waste it. I'm also a huge fan of making smaller goals. I love cruising Soundcloud for new mixes put out my my favorite musicians. Many will list the track times so I like to find ones that are at least an hour long. I'll tell myself that I'll cam for as long as the track plays, nonstop. Often, I end up surpassing the time (and my $$-goals!) and finding new tracks that play for another 30-minutes or an hour.
I also suffer from depression and anxiety so I know it can be hard. Don't let yourself have racing thoughts about how camming will be good or bad today, just jump in and do it. Working through the depression can also work out the negative thoughts that tend to creep up. And be proud of yourself, after you've put in your time and made any sort of profit. Remember, it's more money than you started with and you're that much more ahead to reach your broader goal.

Good suggestions ladies! I go watch other girls on cam for 5-10 minutes and tell myself -- if SHE can do it, I can do it! (Not in a mean way, but hey, look at all these other proactive, working ladies! They're making money, well then so am I!) Plus watching them be cute/sexy makes me want to be cute/sexy, lol.

Thank you for reminding me about my goals simon87.
I was sooo tired today I just wanted to turn the cam off knowing I had another 3 hours to go. I had read your post last night and immediately I remembered it today and thought - BENZ, BENZ, BENZ!!!!
I want my 2005 Benitoite Blue SLK Roadster by spring!!! BAM! I was out of the bed like something bite me, did some jumping jacks, slammed an energy drink and saw myself driving my Benz. I log back on and a one of my clients from another site miraculously found me (btw, he has always been my VERY BEST customer!!). I probably would have went to sleep if I did not hear your post playing in my head.THANK YOU SIMONE87!!!!
p.s. I am Bipolar, ADD, and Anxiety :-)
and I listen to "I turn my camera on" by Spoon repeatedly sends me into the transformation.




For me it is setting a schedule (whatever it may be for the week, but I decide each month which days I will work and try to stick to it). I put on my persona by just getting ready. Do email, upload clips, tweet, market, pick out what I'm going to wear and do my makeup. By the time I do all that I'm in the work zone. It takes too long some days but it helps me get into the headspace for camming.
for me i put on my music and shower get dress for the hour maybe some wine or coffee AS I am goiing to the club with my friends on sat night.
"love what you do,, do what you love"...
or at least tell yourself that you love it..
aka dont think of it as work, and its going to seem easier...
" omg, im gonna have alot of FUN on cam today"
-----------
example, yesterday someone came in and said " can I see you tanding up for me"( one of the classic lines lol).
then he corrected himself and typed" standing"
Now I could get mad and be like" Im not going to stand up, tip or go private!"
instead I said " sure, Ill tand for u".. and laughed.." forgetting standing, Ill just tand, whatever that is.. when I figure it out!".... I cracked up laughing thinking of different meanings for " tanding"...
See what I mean... if you see it as "FUN" and not " work"... its not that hard anymore..
fast forward: today Im curiuous to see what other silly/funny things they say.
Im actually excited and cant wait.
its so much fun!![]()





I'm bumping this. My motivation to get on cam is pretty much zero but I know I need to.
I keep saying to myself "is laying on my ass worth $xxx.xx (my daily goal). Sitting on my ass is costing me money." It usually helps me to look at it like that.
My motivation to get up every morning to start work, is not to be homeless again. I became homeless because I was depressed and didnt want to work. I didn't think that could happen to me. Now I force myself up. Jump in the shower, make coffee and turn to steve harveys mornings how at 6. After I hear him give his daily inspirational speech, which takes about 10 minutes, I am ready to get started! And I cam ALLLLLL day now.![]()
Taking a break from all unproductive shit will prove to be the best choice you can make.





^ That is so inspiring. I was homeless at one point as well, which is an experience I've pretty much blocked out of my memory but you have me thinking about it again. I was so depressed that I wasn't working and drinking too much, and next thing I knew I was living in my car scrounging for change to buy a $1 burger at Wendy's. Everyone thinks it won't happen to them but it happens so quickly and before you realize it, your out on the streets with nothing to eat. I was around 19 years old, so it was like 3 years ago. I'm glad you mentioned homelessness because I completely blocked this experience out of my memory. It's major motivation for me, though.
Thanks hun. Don't block it out your mind. Think about it when you don't feel like working. I'm working right now, but don't feel like it because im tired and its freakin SLOW! But hey, whatever money I get will add up nicely by the end of the week. The other day was slow too for me. I wanted to lay back down and the n stuck with it and ended up getting over $250 in a short amount of time. Got my rent money in 4 days, and now don't have to worry about it. Think about when you didn't have money to even easily buy a $1 burger. Having a daily routine works for me. Sad or tired or not, I just do it. You will feel better and energized after your before work routine is finished. Think aboutth ose bills,where you will live and kids if you have them. And that homelessness is real. You probably didn't think it would happen to you either, but it did. So chin up and get to work babe![]()
