How can I stop being lazy?

If you're feeling lazy, it may have to do with how you're taking (or not taking) care of yourself. Even something as simple as a brisk walk gives you natural energy and also releases endorphins that improve your overall mood, making you feel more inclined to go out and accomplish something that day. your feelings of laziness could possibly be linked to depression, or more rarely another mental health issue such as attention deficit disorder. It may be worth seeking professional help. Start your day with positive self talk. Listen to energetic music. Surround yourself with productive people. Who you surround yourself with inspires your behavior. Hang out with people who are successful and motivated, and their energy will likely rub off on you.

Why do you believe yourself to be lazy and what makes you lazy? What about taking the time for some self-reflection and think about where the laziness came from and tackling that head on! :)

Maybe you can motivate yourself? If you do something you are supposed to, reward yourself with something you love, but do not reward yourself if you haven't done all the things that you are supposed to do.

"Laziness" in terms of a lack of motivation will require you to find exactly that; your motivation. Set yourself goals that are specific, measureable & meaningful to you, achievable, realistic and within a set time frame. If you set yourself clear meaningful goals in this way, this should help motivate you. But motivation is a lot more complex than suggested and will likely take more than just goal setting, but it's a good place to start. Working out exactly what you want in life, what you want to achieve and where you want to go in the longer term is also advisable.

Being lazy can be a very unhealthy way to live life .If you're feeling lazy, it may have to do with how you're taking (or not taking) care of yourself.. step 1 You should ideally be getting eight hours of sleep and trying to get on a regular sleep cycle . Step 2 Even something as simple as a brisk walk gives you natural energy and also releases endorphins that improve your overall mood, making you feel more inclined to go out and accomplish something that day.step 3 : Who you surround yourself with inspires your behavior. Hang out with people who are successful and motivated, and their energy will likely rub off on you. Step 4 : Know what you spend time procrastinating with and take action to remove it. If you waste time surfing the web, work in a place that doesn't have internet access. If texting friends is your vice, move your phone into a different room or have a friend hold on to it for the afternoon. It's natural that you will need to take a break from working, but make sure that time is limited. For example, you could commit to working for the first 50 minutes of every hour and then take a break for 10 minutes. Finally Just do it! There isn't any cure for being lazy. The only way to overcome this is by setting your mind to the task and completing it. Have self-discipline.

Find something for which you enjoy being alive and active. If you find the right someone or something, your laziness will transition into passion.

Try to set goals for your day with activities you would like to acomplish. Any task you consider useful.

Try setting yourself a goal and reward yourself once you have achieved it. Start small, do little things, but do SOMETHING. There's nothing wrong with being lazy now and then, but being lazy all the time doesn't get you anywhere. And if you are asking this question... it's a sure sign you wish to get something done, so get to it!

Make a to do list every day and then stick to it, and every time you feel like you need to lay down or get lazy look at the list to see what needs to be done next. Reward yourself by making a goal to finish an amount and then have a reward when they are finished.

You should understand that it's necessary to be active and perform the needful tasks. Make your mind into thinking that I shall achieve so-and-so and happiness if I do it. Better to do something than to later regret it! Motivating yourself can lead to success.

First of all you have to look inside yourself, and find the reason for your laziness. Than decide how you can overcome that reason and keep moving forward. Make a plan how to activate your mind and your body. What motivates you.

Join a sport with a local club or even doing little things like getting up to get your phone charger or getting up to get the tv remote instead of asking people to do it for you.

The easiest way to overcome 'laziness' is to break things down. Some tasks feel too big to handle, and so we put them off and distract ourselves in other ways - and then because we haven't achieved what we hoped to, we call is laziness. If you turn tasks into small, actionable goals, they seem instantly easier to accomplish. Another thing you can try is envisioning success. What do you hope to achieve by spending your time effectively? How can you get there? Having something in mind provides great motivation to get started. Eventually it's possible to form productive habits. Instead of laziness, you'll be inclined to spend your time well, because that's what you've practiced and what you become used to. Don't forget to take breaks and look after yourself as well, though! Good luck on your journey!

Find something (e.g a reward or some really compelling reasons) that motivates or inspires you to get down to brass tacks , stop procrastinating and just start doing whatever it is you're supposed to be doing. Make sure to be kind to yourself and not be too demanding at first .. for that can make the task itself seem daunting! And then that subconscious fear or dislike may manifest as "laziness"

try watching more motivational videos, finding your passion, try new things.

Stopping being lazy is hard, I know from experience (I used to be lazy - sometimes still am) - what I did is I found that I needed to focus, so I slowly worked on focusing on tasks, like you need to do an assignment for example, it's due in two weeks, every day of the week slowly work on it, and it'll be done by the time it's due, then you do more and more each day, till you're not as lazy.

Everyone should allow themselves some personal self care time each day or as often as they can. However if you find you have too much time on your hands due to lack of job, lack of sleep or otherwise, then try looking at why you think you are lazy. Or why you are perhaps having trouble with low energy. Maybe you need more sleep, or maybe finding a job, or even getting involved in your community in some way. Whether its volunteering somewhere, or finding a group fitness class, or joining a club. Where you can also meet others. Even something as simple as making a daily schedule for yourself can help. Such as chores around your home, or walking a pet if you have one, or going grocery shopping etc.. Or by even volunteering to be a listener here at 7cups to give yourself something to do in your day while helping others! If you find you are having a lack of energy and don't fully understand why and its interfering with your daily life, you might also want to perhaps talk to a healthcare provider to rule out any other issues that could be causing you to feel that way. Good luck to you!

To stop being lazy you should have something that motivates you and you just gotta have something that gets you going. :)

you can stop being lazy by listening to high energy music to jump-start you into doing a task. also, i find excersing(even a tiny bit) can give you more energy.

Try to have a positive mindset. Im a very lazy person and i find telling myself mentally that "i need to get up" or "need to go running" seems to help stop me from lazing around.

You just have to push yourself and get out there! Do exciting things and try something you haven't ever done before. :)

Sometimes laziness can become a habit and habits are very hard to break. My advice is to reward yourself for doing the things you don't particularly like to do like homework or chores. That way it works as a little motivator to get things done and stop being lazy!

The best way is to set weekly or daily goals for yourself, such as "I'm going to exercise this many minutes a week/day" or "I won't watch TV as much this week." When you reach those goals, reward yourself with activities that you enjoy most.

Set up small goals for yourself that are easy to reach but will keep you on track of reaching your dreams might help. Also taking notes of what you've already accomplished might help you keep motivated!

The most important thing is to start small. If you try to do too much at first, you will overwhelm yourself and lose your motivation to continue. Begin by making yourself do small, everyday tasks, then work up to the larger ones.

Plan your days out, set yourself attainable goals and if you reach them, reward yourself. At first it's all about motivation, so make the reward something you really want. And stick to the plan by making it into very little tasks, so you often get the satisfaction of finishing something. Write down stuff like "getting up", "brushing teeth", ticking it off instantly makes you feel accomplished.

Start by setting small, realistic goals for yourself that involve being active and then slowly alter those goals to more challenging ones once you've achieved those initial goals.

It is hard if you are used to be always the one who gets everything. But first of all find a motivation, think about prizes you can get or buy yourself if you do something else. If you distracted then I recommend to get rid of all the distractions you have. The phone? Then put it away. Social media? Log out. Music? Turn it off. People? Go to the calm place. Also, having lazy thought and waiting for someone to do something instead of you..No. Then watch some motivational videos, ask people how they handle this and analyze yourself what works the best for you.

(This applies to home life, and is not fitness motivation related) Create a list of really small, easily finished tasks (fold laundry, take out the trash, throw out the old milk you forgot about in the fridge). Then from that list, each day tackle just one task and cross it off of your list. Eventually you will likely start to feel accomplished/satisfied with yourself for slowly knocking down that list that you either add a second chore to your daily goal, or you add chores to the list that take more time (sweep the floors, rake leaves, etc). Even if you don't find a sense of enjoyment or accomplishment, seeing that it doesn't take but a few minutes to finish one item each day should help you to stop procrastinating and start being more motivated in your life.

It is important to take note of a few things here. Firstly, laziness comes from people who actively choose to do nothing and not be productive. If you are finding yourself unable to do tasks which you wish you could, then it is not laziness, no matter how much it might look like it is to outsiders. If you know that you have a neurodivergency such as ADHD or ASD, or a mental illness such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD, then all of those can give you mental 'blocks' which get in the way of you completing your task. One particular metaphor which I really like for describing this is the 'wall of awful'. You can look it up for a better definition as well as tips for how to scale, deconstruct, or bypass your wall of awful, but as a summary: Every time you attempt something and you fail at it, you get rejected (negative social feedback such as someone telling you off) because of the outcome, you worry about it, or it just generally doesn't go how you want, you get a brick (or multiple) added to your wall. The larger the wall is, the harder it is for you to get over your wall and complete the task on the other side. If you have anything like conditions which I mentioned above, your bricks are larger than those who don't.
