I think everyone faces this problem of 'Laziness'. When urgent matters or the most important ones are somehow put aside in a drawer ‘I’ll do it tomorrow or later’ as a result, days, weeks, months pass. Have you ever wondered what is the reason for this behavior in yourself? What is wrong with me? In this article I will try to briefly explain some of the reasons for the origin of ‘Laziness’. And how to find a cure for it.
What is wrong with me?
I want to describe a couple of the main reasons for the origin of laziness, based solely on my experience. So, everything rewritten below may not correspond to your realities.
Reason N°1
Psychological Condition.
It may include various factors, ranging from feelings of dissatisfaction to depression. In my case, it’s just a feeling of unsatisfactoriness and depression, take the example of my previous post ‘Meme Morning’. I put a lot of effort and soul into this song in order to make someone laugh and somehow illuminate these gray everyday life. But many ignored it. Because no one gives a s$#t about it and they are not interested in it. Of course, I don’t blame anyone, but creative activity always requires a return, if it is not there, then it develops a feeling of worthlessness and loneliness and thereby leads to depression. But I’m a strong guy and I try not to pay attention to such things. (Although you should be ashamed and read the previous post, when you have some time for this and smile ;))
Reason N°2
Physical Condition.
This is also one of the most important factors. Perhaps one of the reasons for your laziness is due to low hormones. Of course, what is the consequence of such a fall? There may also be various reasons for this. From lack of sleep to various diseases. But basically, if you feel healthy but exhausted, it may be due to lack of vitamins.
Reason N°3
Dream.
One of the last reasons may be a simple lack of sleep. Sleep is the most important and necessary process in our life. And its lack greatly affects our body and our psychology.
Reason N°4
Overeating
And the last and most important thing in my opinion is overeating or heavy food. Many people don't diet and many, including myself, are seduced by food marketing and advertising. Yes, food makes us temporarily happy. But when taking a heavy meal, for example, eating something with beef, then our body needs some time and effort to assimilate it. Typically, the body requires a lot of energy to digest heavy food in order to dissolve it into the necessary components. It is because of this that you are drawn to sleep after you have eaten and this is also the reason for laziness, because for any action, even creative, you need the energy that went into digesting food.
The cure for laziness
How can you get rid of laziness?
There are four ways to do this in my opinion.
1. If it's psychological condition,, then you should contact a specialist, it's meaning the doctor, perhaps they will be able to get to the bottom of the truth of evil and will help you deal with it.
2. If yours is related to a physical condition, for example, a lack of vitamins or something else. Then you should also consult a doctor. Perhaps they will prescribe you a complex of vitamins that you will need to drink and improvements come the next day. That’s I know from my experience
3. If the first two methods require a financial contribution. Then method 3 is purely related to your discipline. Learn to stick to a daily routine, cuz, perhaps lack of sleep is the root of all evil. After all, fatigue accumulates in our body and if it reaches a critical peak, the consequences may be different. And laziness is one of the symptoms of fatigue of the whole body.
4. Stick to your diet, It’s not for nothing that they say that you think better on an empty stomach. I try to eat once a day, well, of course, considering that I weigh 180.7 lbs. Then for me this is quite enough. Of course, I'm not going to convince you to eat a little bit, but at least stick to a diet.
My Methodology
What methods do I use? I would like to tell you a couple of my techniques. How can you get rid of laziness?
Little workout
When you start your day, start it with a little workout. For example, do Star Jumps or just reach for the ceiling with your arms up, standing on tiptoes or find your exercise where all muscle groups will be involved as much as possible. Do them no more than 3-5 minutes, because it helps good blood circulation in your body from toes to head. This also greatly contributes to a good mood and productivity in any work.
Coffee Napp
If you feel tired and lazy, then just drink a cup of coffee. Then try to sleep for exactly 20 minutes, but no more. Otherwise you will fall asleep for the whole day. When you wake up, you should feel a surge of energy to work.
Just a couple of minutes and that's it!
If Coffee Napp doesn't help, then force yourself to work for just a couple of minutes. Fool yourself with an example like this: If I'll do this now, that’s all! Then I can go home with a pure soul. But If I’ll finish it here, then everything will be real done! And here if I’ll finish here a little bit more, then it’s really willy done. After this work has been done, you yourself will not notice how it is finished or almost finished.
Tomorrow someone else will do it or no one will do it for me!
And the most motivational advice especially for those who are engaged in creative activities. Imagine that you are doing a job for which several candidates are applying and your only chance to win is to do it first. But if you don’t like to feel the pressure of competition, then remember, no one will do this work for you, of course, you can find someone to do this for you, but the experience he gains will remain with him, not with you. And besides, I think few people will agree to do someone else’s work for free. And lastly, if productivity has awakened in you, then here is your last piece of advice. Don’t try to waste your energy completely, give yourself a little rest. At least 5 minutes, otherwise you will quickly exhaust yourself again, so not yet completed the work. And starting all over again will be very difficult. Just imagine yourself as a boxer in the ring and a very strong opponent stands in front of you. If you beat him up in the first seconds, then this will not give you big advantage, of course, if assuming you are a semi-professional fighter. Use tactics to yourself and your forces. If you don't do this, you will quickly become exhausted and then your opponent will win. So just keep a balance in your work.
Well that's all, I told you the techniques that I use myself every day. The main thing is to follow your diet, sleep and performance. Keep a balance between all of this. And all will be well. And remember these are not the advice of a specialist, but of an ordinary working person, so I can't guarantee that they will help you. Have a good working day and productivity everyone.
