Lost My Escorting Mojo.
« on: 08 June 2016, 12:24:40 pm »
I have lost all motivation to escort and think it is starting to show no matter how much of an act put on. The money is good but the leap from this to civy gets me.

Knowing how it will go gets me anxious. I have had opportunities but the amount of business missed throws me back.

I tried dealing with but would like any tips if so. Or if any have been in a similar situation.

Time is nearing with just uploading my cv. Before enough is enough. 

How did those escorts overcome any similar situation?.

I thought three days off refreshed me.

I still am polite but deep down am thinking what the hell with this. I give a good service as they are happy.

It is pushed to the back of my mind during bookings showing confidence.  Then wham bam after it all comes flooding back to me.

I used to enjoy escorting alot. I so want to get my mojo back. No matter how hard I try to progress some thing is missing.

Oh dear...

Do you think having a month off would help and have a good relax?

If it is possible financially of course.

I do not have much motivation winter months but work harder spring/summer onwards.  Strange isn't it.

I recently took a fortnight off and when I decided to take bookings again, it definitely felt like I'd made the right choice. I've just moved and felt swamped plus the quality of bookings I was getting as fresh meat in the area was getting to me. I spoke to my good friend who is also an escort and he advised a break or only seeing regulars until I felt a bit better and I think it was pretty sage advice. If you weren't able to take more time off, would you be able to manage a spell of working only with the clients you really enjoy and trust - you'd still be providing a service but you may be able to take a little more pressure off yourself.

I hope you figure something out, xx

When it is time it is time.  Maybe find something part time and take a few months off, recruitment agencies might be able to find you something for a few months and then you are not tied to a permanent role and then think about if you want to come back full time.  If not you can slip away and into a permanent 9 - 5 when you are ready.

I guess it's getting used to money being tighter with escorting  here and there.

You could always get a 9 to 5 job then do escorting in the evenings if you have the energy .....?

I like the suggestion of just seeing regulars, I might try that myself. I have also stopped providing some or the services that I dont enjoy. I used to offer some things that are outside or the norm, as it attracted lots of clients. I just can't do them any more.

The one thing that keeps me going is the thought that finally, at the age of 42, I can afford to get my teeth straightened. So, the money gives me a huge incentive to put my game face on and give a great performance!

Do you have a lot of long bookings? I much prefer the quickies and half hour appts to the hour long ones. When someone books in for an hour, I feel my heart sink. That's not because I dislike the guys, but I have a touch of ADHD, so staying focussed for an hour really exhausts me. Many of my guys have about 20 minutes sex and then the rest of the hour just chatting. That's what exhausts me.

Anyway, maybe it's burnout and you need a proper chunk of time off xx

It really helped me, I felt deflated because I was just getting horrors wanting to come through my door. I have longish bookings every week with regulars that I genuinely enjoy being with and because they know me, I can afford to let my guard down a little. I think what Willow says is good too, do what YOU are comfortable with.

Meant to say earlier, if you need any c.v. help, let me know! Xx

Hi MD,

Is it possible that just having three days off isn't really enough to get your mojo back? That's little more than just a normal weekend, and if you're burnt out that time goes in a flash.

As others have said, is it possible financially for you to take a longer break - maybe two or three weeks? You might feel better if you were able to have proper time away from escorting.

Especially as it's summer now and the weather is nice - it's hard to struggle on at work if you're not feeling it, knowing you could be outside relaxing or doing any other nice thing you want to do.

Might you be able to have a proper rest to weigh up your options? Aside from essential living costs it doesn't have to be expensive.... even reading a book in the park or sunbathing with a home made picnic is lovely and might give your mind a bit of a break. xx

Bless you I know exactly how you're feeling and can relate 100%. This happened to me last year, not only did I lose my mojo for escorting I lost it for everything and was depressed.

I took a massive break from escorting, booked a long holiday to Ibiza for my birthday with family and friends and went on another holiday a week after getting back from there. I literally changed my AW to seeking services and didn't touch it for a good 6 weeks, other than log in to keep it activated and transfer credits, I acted like a "normal young girl" and god it helped so much. I had never been happier, and I had rekindled my love for escorting again and love it just as much as I did at the start now.

It's a horrible feeling, take a big break if you can and book a holiday UK or abroad, and completely forget about escorting and live your life like a complete civvy it will help so much. I hope that helps and I hope you feel better soon xx

How long is it since you had a proper break from work - of at least a week?

Any job can feel like it's too much if you're not getting away on a semi-regular basis.

Feel free to PM if you want help with CVs for a civvy job. Don't ever feel that escorting has ruined you for a "proper" 9-5. On the contrary, you have been developing essential skills in customer service, negotiating and influencing, decision making, and using your initiative. All will stand you in good stead on civvy street, as long as you can find a way to talk about them without revealing the exact nature of services provided!

. I'm glad to read this.
It's completely normal.  I wouldn't work in winter, I am only guessing.  Will see.

Taking time off is what is needed then I can think more clearer.
