How often do you rest?

[devonhunter]

I never feel rested anymore, even when I take a weekend off and spend 10 days at home. There's too much to do at home to catch up with that has been neglected while I was away (even after "only" 3-4 days), so I end up not really resting (plus I still have to do all the work of maintaining the brittle Twitter reality that makes the tenuous claim that I exist, so I have to nurse my business on all fronts, too). I'm not kidding when I say I need a personal assistant.

 

I have hired a young man to clean my place once a week, so I'm hoping that will help...

 

Traveling escorts: How do you schedule your rest? How do you delegate tasks?

Devon unfortunately your posting comes off almost comical in its presentation and difficult to not respond, "Welcome to the real world" or "Are you serious?" But so goes the pitfall of the written word and I know you are quite serious about the issue.

 

I know you intend this for other escorts but actually I do understand and I believe you are quite serious. I have had this conversation with a friend. Your job is physical but also requires a great deal of mental discipline. For your repeat or close clients you can become a psuedo-pyscho therapist and yet you are not trained and it is a lot to absorb. I believe a lot of what you feel is actually mental fatigue rather than physical.

 

Just some thoughts, you need to find a way of downloading all that communication and not get caught up in it. Drinking lots of water, avoid alchohol, moderate exercise, but add yoga preferably in a public group. There is a need to find serenity in your life. It may sound silly in our technical world but places like a public library, musueum, walk in the park. I think it is important to be out away from your home especially if you do in calls. You need to put down your electronic devices for a period of time. Schedule a weekend a way from home every couple of months just for yourself. We dont need to be instantly interactive. Again silly as it sounds consider writing a letter home to mom or a friend. You need to be associated with people who know you as you and not he person you purport to be to us. As much as we hit on organinzed religion here, I must tell you I go to church weekly, I have my personal conversation with the Lord and it is very rare I dont feel relieved or burden lifted. Once that burden of life is lifted you will find the rest you need. It is not delegation of tasks but finding priority in life that will give you the rest you need.

I remember now why I don't post here anymore. Thanks for the second two paragraphs though.

Are you still having problems sleeping. I ordered this device a few days ago called the sleep mate. It produces a white noise in the room helps with blocking out outside that room noise and its helped some with my lack of being able to sleep

Success is such a bitch. Isn't it, Devon.

Question for you Devon: do you have your phone, computer, maybe an iPad or Kindle, all plugged in in your bedroom?

 

(This has actually been in the news in the last week.)

 

Those little status lights take a bigger chunk out of you than you know. Put them on the kitchen counter if need be, but get them out of your bedroom. Your bedroom should be for sleeping (and playing). When I did this a few years ago I noticed sleep was more restful.

 

Don't take the office to bed ... err ... as much as possible in your line of work!

Sleepmates are wonderful! While I was in college, I ran the fan on the AC at night to drown out noises from other rooms. Now, white noise is almost requirement. (When I travel, I generally run the fan on the room heat/AC)

 

And, with the exception of Sunday mornings, I never read in bed, so I think my mind is trained, 'bed=sleep'. Until the past few months, I fall asleep within a few minutes of turning out the light.
