You may be surprised when I tell you that professional burnout affects a great many female dancers. There are many reasons for this – high expectations, intense training, the pressure of performing… These are the usual problems that affect any job. I’ll give you some tips on what to do to minimize its effects, or eliminate it altogether.
But first…
First – don’t worry if professional burnout has got you down, because it’s perfectly normal!
Second – there are many ways to deal with it.
One of the best methods is to…
Change your appearance
I’ve mentioned this before – dancers are actresses! Play with your image – change the color of your hair (you can just wear a wig), wear clothes in different colors than usual. In short – go to wide extremes. Replace black with white, dark hair with light, mystery with sweetness. Peep how your friends look, borrow some clothes, cool accessories and play with your look. Break the monotony. Remember that at the club you don’t have to show the real you. You’re there to make good money, and such treatments will help you do that faster than you expect!
Balance – separate work from private life
I don’t need to dwell long on this topic – it’s the basis of every job. Work is work – you don’t need to mix it into every aspect of your life, but rather treat it as an add-on. I won’t mention influencers here, who earn money by showing their privacy. Try to develop a healthy balance between work and rest. Take care of time for yourself, spend it on hobbies, relaxation, meetings with friends and family. This will allow you to get away from work stress and recuperate – and remember that club work, although enjoyable – is further physical work.
One thing that prevents burnout is setting boundaries and learning to say “no.”
Don’t be afraid to set boundaries and say no when you have too much on your plate, or just don’t want to do something. Learn to say “no” and understand that your health and well-being are a priority. Don’t constantly try to be perfect at everything, as this can lead to burnout. The big advantage of this job is that you don’t come to the club and get a list of things to do – you set the plan for the evening. Use this wisely and you can deal with possible burnout.
Rest and recuperate
Remember the importance of rest and recovery time. Plan regular days off, vacations and periods where you can get away from work and relax. This will help you recharge your batteries and avoid exhaustion.
