    Default how do you recharge?

    ok, in the last 2 weeks i have worked almost every day. not sundays, because my club is closed, and ive taken off 2 other days. i am DYING. i'm sore, my feet are killing me, i'm exhausted, and basically dreading having to go to work tonight. im pmsing, too.

    i have to go though because im on schedule, its saturday and i dont want to miss money that i *need* and school starts next week so i'll be cutting back to 3 days a week.

    the idea of dealing with asshole customers makes me want to shoot someone. i dont feel like it. im about to take a bath and then get a pedicure and go tanning, probably nap, maybe work out. but what other ideas do you guys have? i need tonight to be a good night,and theres no point in being there if im going to sit and complain or be unhappy.

    When I am feeling especially down on the job I search and try to find something to get excited about, a new outfit, doing my hair different, anything. If I can't do that (money/time) then I have to really adjust my attitude before hand.

    The fatigue and PMS thing though, that's so hard! PMS is my biggest enemy, if my body has decided i'm going to be unhappy, it's pretty hard to bounce back. I guess I just try really hard to pick myself up, I don't stress as much at work, sort of take it easy and try to have more fun than anything else. I will treat myself before work when I'm feeling like that by taking my sweet ass time getting ready, doing to extra little things that I enjoy doing for myself... give myself a little pedi before work, use my favorite bath things and tkae my time doing it, have a shower head session () stuff like that.

    Not sure if it helps you at all, but that's my advice, find the stuff that makes you happy and helps you perk up a bit.

    Would it be the end of the world if you took a night off? That's the best way to recharge that I know of. Working tons of nights like that can be very draining.

    ^ i cant i wish i could, but i just complained about them changing my schedule when school starts. (i was going to work thurs-sat but im not allowed to work only the "good days." thats all i can because of school. so i had to switch to tues from thurs, which will be super hard to do if i wanted to keep both fri & sat.) so not only am i scheduled and need money (my dui trial is coming up, i'll have mega-fines, plus i have to buy school books on monday) if i called out after i complained it wouldnt look very good.

    i took a long bath and im about to go get a pedicure. i just have to tell myself that its my last week like this, then its on to the craziness of school and i'll be wishing my only problem was work!

    Get out of the city and away from the concrete and the cars... and go to the woods.. if there's a park nearby that's quiet that will do too. I get a blanket and go hiking into the woods, lay there and read a book or contemplate my navel, you know.. whatever I feel like. Nature is a great way to recharge... pedicures never worked for me.

    promise yourself a trip to the good mall, you know the one I'm talking about and get yourself a coach purse or something if you make 400 or more.

    I would go see a mindless movie in a dark, air-conditioned movie theater. It's a good, healthy escape from reality for a while.

    haha, i just got a new coach purse for my birthday! there *is* a new one i want, though...

    i can just feel that tonight i'm going to be irritable. when i went to the nail place, i went to a diff one than usual and i was sitting there thinking 'please dont let me get a man, please dont let me get a man' over and over. and my body is super sensitive, when the women did my eyebrows it hurt like CRAZY. and when i went tanning, i wanted to get out of the bed. i felt like i was on fire. and ive always liked the tingly lotion i use. man...

    i'm going to take a nap for about an hour and hopefully when i wake up i will be in a much better mood!

    You know, you just hit it on the head. It's clear that you have to put your nose to the grindstone right now because of financial difficulties, however going gung-ho and working every possible chance you can actually has a boomerang effect. By working to mental and physical exhaustion, you're actually reducing your income making ability. You might want to do an experiment where you track your earnings when you work like a dog vs your earnings when you allow yourself time to recharge and have the energy to really make the most of the times you do work.

    Might turn out that you're earning about the same due to the reduced earning capacity when burnt out -- in which case, there's no purpose to making yourself work so often, and it would be actually advisable to work less but more efficiently. Meaning, you'll make more if you're actually on point, energized and mentally up for it. If the difference between the two types of work styles is minimal either way (not a difference of major $$), it would probably be smarter to safeguard your health and work less, but apply yourself super-diligently when you DO work.

    Burnout and stress are really quick ways to reduce your earning potential -- custies read that off you in seconds, and it can dissuade one from choosing you over the energized, fully present and non-exhausted dancer, ya know?

    Just some thoughts. You gotta give back to your body and mind what you take from it -- you can't run on empty. Give yourself what you need to be able to give yourself fully to others -- whether that's your work, your love life, your family, whatever.

    I am from MD also...I had 2 take a break from this state and worked in CT. ther was lots of money 2 be made and I did not have to hustle as hard as I did in MD. Good luck!

    Also working to hard will burn you out. give yourself a break and the money will come.
