hi guys, hope you can help,
i left dancing close to three years ago now, and moved back to retail.
towards the end of my dancing career, i started getting really lazy and stayed in the dressing room half the night because i didn't want to deal with customers anymore and sought out regulars to keep me company rather than making money from "fresh faces" i had a hard time 'playing up' to guys and flirting (i know most of this was because i was in a new relationship and soooo in love) but on the whole, developed some really bad habits where i would finish a dance with a regular (after talking for half an hour) then go sit out the back with my phone until another regular customer came in. they didn't even have to be MY regulars but the club's regular patrons, i was just seeking out a comfort zone. i made less and less money until i approached management to get a reception position there.
anyway, to the point. i am starting back dancing this weekend after so long. i am definately not going back to the same club but a new one that's just opened up. i have committed myself to only one night a week (i am keeping my day job) and am going to keep in mind that i am there strictly to make a target each night. but i am so worried that i'll walk in there and immediately fall back into my slump of not wanting to approach guys and quit soon after.
i am coming back because i want to save money for surgery and i want it by the end of this year, i have let myself down before (i returned to my old club a year ago to save for it and lasted two nights)
how do i make a fresh start?
how do i stop myself from falling back to those bad habits?
i know i can never be that fresh faced 20 year old i was back when i startedbut i need some motivation to last at least 6 months this time.
