    Default Need Some Encouragement

    Hey ladies,
    It's been a few days since my last shift and I'm dragging my feet going in tonight. I've been really sick and haven't eaten in three/four days. I feel depressed, anxious and completely unmotivated. I guess my question for you all is how do you hype yourself up for work again when you've taken time off? I guess for me things would be different if I felt 100%.

    Thanks,
    Sarah xo

    i had strep and laryngitis around christmas, so i had to take two weeks off..when i went back to work i was pale, had massive dark circles under my eyes, and had lost at least 6 pounds and muscle tone :/ i felt awful about my looks and very shy and self conscious with customers. took me like two shifts to get back into the swing of things! i just let my first shift back be an adjustment shift..i didn't put much pressure on myself, took it slow, and cut myself some slack. the next week i was back into it!

    I would try and eat and read some good threads on here then go in and go for it, sometimes the motivation from here keeps me going on bad nights!

    ITA with all the other ladies' responses. If you can't eat, are you willing to do supplemental drinks? Like slimfast or boost or ensure? Also there is my old standby nestle breakfast essentials formerly called carnation instant breakfast. I looooovvvve these! They are kinda marketed to kids but its packed with double or triple nutrients like vitamin c and d and calcium and you MUST make it with milk. Or you could make yourself some smoothies with yogurt, avocado, almond milk and whatever fruit that you like. You will get good fats and protein and you can make it as green or as fruity as you wish! Its asier than chewing if you toss a straw in. HTH. Feel better soon.

    If you're still sick, I vote stay home. Not only will you be exposing yourself to more germs and possibly feeling worse in the end, but you'll also be getting other people sick. Take care of yourself first. Once you're feeling better, read through the Best of Hustle Hut thread and listen to some music you like, and that might help put you in work mode.

    Listen to your body, take it easy, and if you feel bad, stay home. You're only prolonging your illness.

    Agree with this.

    Honestly, when I take time off from work I sort of start to miss it and want to go back (I'm on vacation right now and although it's nice to take a break I do miss it a little bit! haha) and I end up doing really well the night I get back because I want to be there. I think your lack of motivation stems from the fact that you're still ill, in which case I would take some more time off. If you go back now when you're not 100% you're going to make yourself sick longer and you might not be able to hustle as well since you won't have the energy, making yourself feel even more discouraged

    Thanks ladies. I've been working 3-4 hr shifts as I try to ease myself into the swing of things. I'm disappointed because I haven't made money...and by that I mean I go in with $0.00 and come out with $0.00. Oh well.

    Your kind words and encouragement is touching and I appreciate it all deeply.

    ^January is slow times in our part of Canada, don't let it bring ya down. Have you checked out any other clubs? Might be worth a shift or two to see how elsewhere is doing.

    Meh, yes but I'm too nervous to start anywhere else. I'll let everyone know how I do after this week.

    I try to use reverse-psyholgy on myself. The more unmotivated and depressed I am about going into work, the more I force myself into simply going in. I find that I make the most money on those type of days/nights, even if I am late and pay massive tipout fees. Best of luck, and take care of yourself. Also, my .10 involves getting nutrients/vitamins from the actual source vs. supplements. I am biased; however, because a close family member works in the pharmaceutical industry, and has commented about how vitamins aren't absorbed same the way and/or as much as receiving them from the actual source vs. a pill or a drink. Good luck girl, and keep your head up!
    I'd grab my trumpet and I'd do a stripper sound, like the old Louis Armstrong, real raspy. And the people would go nuts! Then I knew that the sexual, sensual, guttural sound, that throbbing sound, is where it's at.
