How To Overcome Laziness?
Laziness is the desire to be idle, to do nothing, resist the effort, procrastinate and postpone doing things. It is a state of passivity and of letting things stay as they are. A lack of passion for your job and an overwhelming to-do list and even an underlying medical condition are just some of the things that can interfere with your desire to get things done.
Sometimes, we enjoy being a little lazy, such as after working hard for several hours. The occasional lazy day isn't just alright but much needed. But if you find that you're taking lazy days more often than you're having trouble getting things done.
Here are some tips to overcome laziness:
1. Visualization:
Visualize yourself doing the very thing that you feel too lazy and reluctant to do. Your imagination has a great influence on your mind, habits, and action. Do so before starting with a task or goal, and when you feel lazy.
2. Break Down A Task Into Smaller Task:
We often avoid the task because they are taking too much of our time. So breaking a task into several smaller tasks can solve this problem. Then, each one will not seem so difficult or intimidating.
3. Make-To-Do List:
Make a list of things to do. This will avoid the strong inner resistance of not doing things. Congratulate yourself, and cross this entry after accomplishing it. Gradually, being a doer will become a habit.
4. Relax Your Body:
Rest, Sleep, and Exercise. In some cases, laziness is due to being tired and lacking energy. If this is true in your case, you need to give yourself the rest and sleep you need and also give your body enough exercise and fresh air to overcome the laziness.
5. Get Organised:
Having clutter around us - even when it's just visual - can be a huge downer to our motivational skills. Whatever it is that could do for some organization, organize it. There's a lot that's going on in our subconscious that we don't account for. So, get rid of a tiny but powerful deterrent by getting organized.
6. Motivation:
In most cases, the reason for laziness is due to a lack of motivation. You can motivate yourself using affirmation, visualization, and thinking about the importance of performing your task or achieving your goal.
7. Vision:
Have a vision of what and who you want to be. Frequently reflecting on the person we want to be, the goals we want to achieve and the life we want to live can motivate to act
8. Consequences:
Thinking about the consequences of not acting can also push you to action. Think about what will happen, if you succumb to laziness, and don't perform your task or chore. Thinking it will help you to overcome laziness.
9. Benefits:
As a consequence, thinking about the benefits also helps to overcome laziness. Think about the benefits you will gain if you overcome your laziness, this will boost you up to do that task.
10. Procrastination:
Avoid procrastination, which is a form of laziness.
