    Default Your after-work rituals

    Currently, my after-work ritual consists of eating fatty, sugary foods, and my scale has informed me that this is a poor choice. What do you do to relax after a shift?

    A hot shower and some sort of herbal tea while browsing the internet or reading.

    Grabbing a quick bite to eat, washing up after shift, settling into my comfortable pajamas, talking to my SO about my shift/how his day was, watching Netflix, scrolling Tumblr and smoking a j before bed.

    I take a hot shower and have a snack. If I'm not too exhausted I count and log my money and make some notes about the shift. Then it's tumblr time and snuggling with my dog.

    counting my money and either being really happy or really sad with the amount. I turn on the tv and usually by the time I get home "Married with Children" is on so I always watch that while smoking a cig and eating a HUGE plate of food. Maybe 2 plates. haha. I have no idea how I'm not overweight...

    Eat dinner, help my son with his homework, clean up around the house of need be, then maybe watch TV and definitely go on Pinterest. I'm sooo addicted to Pinterest! Then I go to bed between 9-10.

    I eat whatever there is to eat, take a bath, feed my cats and have a party with my ferrets. We often doze off together, until my little girl starts nipping at my ankles.

    I listen to soothing music on the way home and completely dispose of my stripper persona once I'm in my car. I'll get something to eat, usually fresh veggies or nuts, something healthy, and then take a shower, do bedtime yoga, read and sleeeeeeeep.

    I go and buy a hot chocolate or some tea from the coffee shop near my club, then I usually bus home. After a bath or a shower, I slip into a robe to count my money and organize it so it's all facing the same direction. For some reason that always brings me a lot of joy. :p Then I take the comfiest sleep!

    Cute thread idea .

    My after work ritual is having a nice, hot shower, a cup of tea and having cuddle time with my kitten while going on SW lol. I'm usually so mentally, emotionally and physically depleted after work-but I can't sleep straight away, so it's nice to sit down and unwind before bed.

    Yeah, i usually need to unwind too.

    Shower at the club to leave all the 'energy' behind (sometimes a mantra or affirmation, or just having an intent that I don't take home anything that doesn't belong to me- in a spiritual sense).
    Drive home with window cracked to get some fresh air on my skin, no music usually or sometimes chill. Oh yeah, and I keep an eye out for being followed too!
    Pats with whichever of my dogs wake up to greet me.
    Bag upstairs, count money, PJs on.
    Food, usually lots of it too while I read (making my way through Robin Hobb collection).
    Been aiming to stretch after shift for 10-15.
    Read some more and pass out with my book in hand, I read a lot- reading is my tv.

    step 1: put on massive attack in the car on the way home and remind myself that i'm no longer in the club and can be my usual, antisocial, people loathing self.
    step 2: shower, going over myself twice, because once isn't enough to get the smell of dirty brass pole off of me.
    step 3: EAT EVERYTHING IN SIGHT, along with a nice cup of tea. i've probably been talking over music all night and so i'll lose my voice without it.
    step 4: go on SW while eating everything in sight, or play some video games.
    step 5: pass out until 10 am or so.

    Since I'm already online (camming), I just either come here, or I check e-mails, pinterest, or other sites that I've been meaning to get to.
    I eat, shower, then watch either some mindless T.V show to unwind, or I watch a Netflix movie, if I'm not too tired to pay attention.
    I am usually way too tired to talk to anyone, so having quiet time is essential.
    If I have a stripping gig, and am already out, I'll meet up with a friend and grab some food, coffee, etc
    After my vanilla job, I come home, and just shower, then hit the sheets.
    Or if I cam during the day, I'll go for a walk, just to 'shake' off the day.

    Yes awesome thread! I take a cab home, shower with lavender something to relax, eat, then make an herbal tea and wind down watching roseanne or reading. Sometimes count $ and also use this lavender muscle heating pad thing I bought at marshalls that you microwave and put on your shoulders.... really nice after busting your ass all night.

    Gonna work some nightime yoga into the ritual too like NightGoddess! Also like the intention setting with the shower... sometimes when I shower I get caught up thinking about one particular asshole, or something negative that happened at work that can be distracting. Last thing I want to do is take that home with me, and especially into bed!

    Come home, jump in shower. Brush teeth & gargle with mouthwash to feel fresh. Eat something delicious & nutritious. Listen to soothing music like SZA, Sade, or Sting. Count my money on the living room floor while my cat plays with my dollar bills, lol. She likes to lie down in the middle of my pile as I'm counting, too - so cute!

    Then after all that, I hang out with my bf, smoke weed, & either watch a show or go on SW. I put arnica gel on my knees, have my bf massage my legs, have him make me tea & prepare the hot water bottle for my aches & pains. I try to get the club out of my head as I prepare to go to sleep for approx. 8-10 hours.

    I cleanse my face, brush my teeth, wash up, etc. THEN I count my money, put it in a safe place, and promptly wash my hands.

    I usually eat unless I ate enough at work. I will often smoke a blunt too, and watch tv. If I'm extra tired I just pass out after counting my money.

    I like to stuff my face after work too. It just feels so good! Try keeping pre-made healthy little snacks available that you can pull out of the fridge and immediately nom, at least it won't be as bad for you as fries and cookies or whatever. I do brie or pesto on toasted sprouted grain bread. It's only about 180 calories and it's very satisfying as a salty-fatty food.

    Anyway, when I come home, I tear off all my clothes and jewelry, put my hair in a bun, and count my money on the couch. Then I take a hot-ass shower (I hate thinking about money germs on my hands so that's why I shower after counting), slather myself in serums and lotion, get in bed, and read until my eyelids get heavy. I like to be asleep before 3am, if possible.

    Also, I have a color-changing LED lamp in my bedroom, and I only use its red light setting after work. Blue-tinted light from most light bulbs messes up your circadian rhythms and makes it harder to have an efficient sleep cycle for us nocturnal folk.

    Change into my pajamas, remove my hair extensions, contact lenses, falsies and make-up, put on some moisturizer, tie my real hair into a bun and put on my glasses. Eat a huge meal (I know it's bad to eat so late at night before bed but I am always starving after work) while surfing on the web or watching TV shows on Netflix. Then brush my teeth, floss, put on my retainer and off to bed zzzz.

    I am usually too tired to shower or count my money after my shift so I do that first thing in the morning the next day but I always have to get a bite and remove all my make-up!

    I always shower and wash myself with antibacterial soap (you never know...it's cold/flu season!) and fall asleep. Sometimes I'll have a snack if I'm hungry after work. Facetime my boyfriend. Sleep.

    Text boyfriend and let him know I'm home, chat a bit while I take off makeup, shower, jammies, get a small snack, count money and "watch" standup, write down earnings, obsess about money for a bit, say goodnight, fall asleep.

    As soon as I get in the door I put my money away and immediately strip off my clothes and take the hottest shower I can handle. Then I moisturize, fill up my little foot soak machine with hot water and Epson salts and drink a cup of tea while either reading a book or watching some TV. Then I chant, I'm a Buddhist and I usually don't get time to chant before work so I do it right before bed.
