    Default How long is good for you to recharge your batteries from working?

    In the past 2 days, I have been a massive flake and have pretty much not been going through with all of my scheduled appointments like a grade A asshole even though I'm fully dressed, makeup/hair done. Especially if they're older and don't use viagra. Plus I've been easy to blow up over simple things and can't calm my anger down...and pretty much my negativity and anger has taken over. I have been flaking even though I want to do the appointment. I feel terrible for doing this to guys and I realize I need a break but don't know how to plan my schedule accordingly. How many days or weeks do you take off for vacation? But also factoring in not working and costs that aren't covered from not seeing clients? I don't want a huge dent in my wallet from vacation.

    As long as it takes!

    If you have enough money reserved take a long vacation. If not take smaller one or two day mini vacations. And treat yourself to something like spa day, massage, 5 star restaurant, theater or art show, etc.

    Also try doing things like focusing on how good you feel accomplishing your goals instead of old horny dudes on Viagra.

    And what are you so angry about?

    We all burn out at whatever we do. I'm in a high pressure business and every once awhile I feel the mountain pressing in on me, my nerves fray, and just generally not at my best. Even if things are otherwise good for me and I count my blessings - I still just start feeling worse and worse. A good vacation - with family or with friends really helps me reset quickly. I know you don't want a financial dent for a vacation, but everyone needs a vacation. Providers work in an emotionally draining profession, to not take vacations can't be healthy. I find it weird when providers act like they're so different from others, providers are just people with many of the same problems and also the same joys. Cell phone off, with people/person you care about, and tuned into enjoying yourself really helps a person.

    Regarding a vacation, ask yourself honestly: how much money will you lose by not working and/or by alienating clients? That's the logic I use, how much money will I lose because I'm not on my game? Well, that's how much its worth to you to find a way to reset. Vacations are a proven way to break out of a funk. I'll take anywhere from 5 nights to 10 nights, it its not at least 5 nights I'm not sure it has the same effect. If you go, then I hope you go somewhere you want and with someone you want, make it worthwhile. When I work on vacation it really f*cks up the whole reset. Good luck.

    I understand you so well.
    You have to be careful because I had an accident happening to me bc I didn't listen to my burnout feelings and had to stop working for more than two months.
    Especially older guys can suck your energy bc they're so needy and sometimes …well just old.
    I met a really old guy some time ago and he's so into kissing, …uaghhhh
    He pays well and booked several times again, now I guess he's falling in love bc he tells me he wants to see me even more often and this dumb kisses got so on my nerves. So yesterday I told him I don't like kissing. I really couldn't help myself.
    Maybe he won't book again bc we know how easily some of this guys get hurt or upset bc you don't fulfill their projections or ideas they have about you.
    But he seriously drains my energy with his emotional neediness.
    That's much worse than sex IMO. Don't know how girls can play emotions all the time. It would cause me serious headaches bc playing emotional is a constant MIND FUCK especially when they fall in love and become so fucking demanding. Wonder how these gold diggers in fake relationships or marriages can do that without becoming aggressive.

    I think you're right...I'm going to start with a few days off and go from there. I don't want to blow throw my savings for a big long vacation. I get mad over little things when I get burnt out and have been to preoccupied with work to actually enjoy my life, which makes me pissy.

    It sounds like you're burned. Unfortunately nothing but taking a break with help. Yeah, you'll lose out on some money, but if you blow up at your best regulars or piss someone off enough to spread shit about you or post a nasty review, you'll lose a lot more money than you would take a week off (or even three months).

    If you really don't want to go through a period of not working, go on a work vacation and just do a few appointments to cover the cost of your hotel/flight whatever.

    Look at what you're doing and see why you're burned out. Are you working too much? Seeing too many difficult clients who are draining your energy? Are you not taking enough time for yourself and your job is overtaking your life? Are you not doing nice things for yourself (getting your nails done, getting a massage, going on a shopping trip, to the movies, out with friends, etc)?
