6 Ways to Make a Pact (But Not to Fight) With Laziness

Laziness is an ambiguous habit, although it is considered that "it is a bad tendency that we have to fight!". The moment you start fighting her, she thinks you've lost the showdown. Most likely, the fight will end with the fact that you will fall asleep.

You will get tired of fighting with yourself, laziness will bring you down, you will go to bed and you will simply fall asleep. Therefore, we will try not to simply struggle with this vicious and urgent habit of taking action, but to understand its causes.

Lack of desire to start

Sometimes you want to do something, you get pleasure and the process is captivating, but you are too lazy to take the first step!

The solution: agree with yourself on what you will do in 5 minutes. Didn't the process captivate you? It's okay, brag, get along for another 10 minutes, etc. Can't you even get your head around this process? Listen to yourself, put things aside for a short time, focus on another occupation. Please come back later and try again.

Lack of motivation

It is clear what you have to do and you know HOW but laziness knocks you down.

This kind of laziness arises when:

• You are not told that what you do is important, that you are doing it well. You are neither praised nor encouraged.

• Whatever you do, there is someone who is not satisfied. You don't do the right thing, the quality makes you crazy. It seems to you that "it's not good enough."

• Any effort is insufficient or goes unnoticed. To be told at the end, "You're lazy anyway!"

• You are convinced that what you are doing is useless. Why dust it off if it settles again?

The solution: don't expect to be praised. Find your motivation, do it for yourself. Praise yourself for what you do!

Lack of balance between "must" and "want"

From childhood, we are told what we "must" do: "you must listen to your parents, you must be educated, you must eat well." With "I want" it was even simpler: "you want too much, put your lust in the nail".

The solution: ask yourself: who needs what "needs"? You or someone else? If, however, you are the one, then you must find the balance between "I want" and "I must." For example, now I'm going to make dinner, and later I'm going to do what I want, I'm going to watch my favorite show. Don't forget to brag about yourself and make up for it.

Too complicated a task

Sometimes the high volume of work makes us lower our hands. You have no power to take the first step when you know how much to do.

The solution: you can't swallow a whole elephant, can you? But if you eat it in pieces… The metaphor is very simple: do not think about the final goal, but set smaller intermediate tasks. Could you take the wallpaper off a wall for a day? That's exactly what you have to do. Just think about it. It doesn't matter if you're going to do a major overhaul in a two-story house.

Fatigue

One thought grinds you: "I want to rest, I want to do nothing, just sit idly by." Ask yourself, do you need physical and moral rest? Maybe you're going through a period of stress? Or are you sick? Maybe your hands and head aren't working because you overworked them?

The solution: you will put a lot more effort if you have to "take it in your hands". Set aside an hour, two, three. Put on the alarm clock and relax with pleasure!

No regrets! Then it will not be called laziness, but rest, after which, with new strength, you will do all that is necessary and in a much shorter time.

Fear

He is the most cunning type of sloth. Why attend refresher courses or study a new language? After that you will have to advance in your career, where many new things are waiting for you, less clear, new obligations, new difficulties, you have to be much more confident in yourself to lead…

I'd better sit quietly in my office, with which I -I am used to, with the colleagues I know, I will do routine work, I will go home quietly and I will sit quietly on the sofa, or here I feel so good and comfortable. And there, before, it is not known what awaits me.

The solution: self-improvement, work on self-confidence. Look for disadvantages in the current state of affairs and find the benefits of potential changes. Face your fears with an open heart. This is the only way to defeat them.

Make a friend lazy, an ally, listen to what she tells you, sometimes she translates the voice of intuition. Or very often "you're too lazy to go to class" so that when you get to class you discover that the pairs have been postponed!
