How can I stop being lazy?

We become lazy when we are unmotivated. Maybe you're short of a goal. Begin with a small goal and go for it. Continue making small goals until you feel comfortable in making a bigger goal for yourself. It's a wonderful feeling when we put our best effort into something we can care about

I like to start by making small goals when I get in a lazy mood. Make lists and start checking things off! It's the greatest feeling.

honestly i am very lazy and the only suggestion that i have got that has worked is just to start and get it done with

Make a plan. And give yourself some rewards you like if you accomplish the task. For example, you have to clean your room, but you don't want to. Reward yourself with a snack, or something like this:)

There are many things you can do to increase motivation and get things done throughout the day, but one thing is important to know - don't expect to get EVERYTHING done right away. Take small steps, make small goals that are attainable. For example, start by making a To-Do list so you know exactly what needs to get done. Then slowly work your way down that list- maybe even just doing one task each day until you get the hang of it.

First, determine if you're actually lazy or if you're just having trouble due to something else, like an illness or a disability. Weed that out or get accommodations for it. Secondly, assess what parts of your life you're lazy in and make a plan to combat it. Thirdly, get social support from your friends or family. The pressure of others can be powerful in the formation of action.

Set yourself a list of goals for each day and a reward to give yourself once you've completed all your tasks. Try and get a good night's sleep - set your alarm, do some light stretches and have a quick shower. Put on a motivating playlist and dance along as you complete all your chores.

Imagine your life in a different way, from a different view from now, as if you've done something productive. Take small steps to achieve that image, and stay inspired by it.

-Find something that would inspire and motivate you to do something and not just sit back in there. -think about your future and the time you are wasting by doing nothing. -Always think that there may never be tomorrow so do your very best today and enjoy

Set up some things to do. And if you're starting to get lazy again, think about the purpose you set that thing in the first place. You need to get it done, it's important. So get that ass up and do what you need to do!

This makes me think of Newton's first law of motion which states "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion [...] unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." which means that once you have started doing something, you tend to keep doing that. To start is always the heavy step.

Motivation is the key. If you find something or someone that motivates you or empowers you to do something, there is a much greater chance that you will. Once this becomes a habit, is will eventually replace whatever motivates you to be lazy.

Be active, hahahaha I'm sorry. Well, try to work out, 20 minutes a day is enough, drink water to keep yourself hydrated, eat fruits to get energy and GO OUT! x

Well, there isn't exactly a "cure-all" for this, but most people tend to feel lazy because they aren't motivated to do anything; nothing is particularly appealing to them. A good approach to feeling less lazy is to find a hobby or topic that you're really interested in and start pursuing that - you're more likely to feel motivated when you're interested, and if you're motivated, you'll take action! (:

I think that creating some kind of planner to map out your day is a surprisingly underrated strategy. I guess it's just difficult to get into the habit of doing it, but once you do, it's amazing how much it does for you. You feel like you have purpose throughout your day and you always feel like you're doing the thing you're meant to be doing. Don't make the mistake of associating a planner with some kind of strict schedule, it's just a way of organizing everything so you can allot an appropriate amount of time into the tasks that you're supposed to be doing. You can still set out free time for yourself, but when you're doing stuff during that free time, you just don't feel lazy. You feel like you're progressing.

A main thing to remember is to make sure your sleeping pattern is right for you. Try not to stay awake until the early hours of the morning, or stay in bed until the afternoon as this may make you feel less motivated. Find something you enjoy and make a action plan to complete activities. Finding something you enjoy to do will help you gain motivation, especially if you make a routine, whether it's going for a walk, cleaning your room or even having a shower at a certain time of day.

Find a hobby, something to immerse yourself in. Something that makes you buzz on the inside and out. Not drugs or alcohol, but something that you find yourself wishing you were doing when you are alone. Something that you dont need to rely on other people for. Art, music, anything you want. Something where you can express yourself and that shapes you.

Well, it depends on how you start your day. Exercise, take a bath, don't let the bed seduce you. Stay away from it as much as possible. Hydrate yourself. It helps, big time!

Think of something to look forward to. Think to yourself "I can do it!" Make sure to get the amount of sleep you need to be less tired and make sure to eat enough food and drink some water

Motivate yourself. Get active. Get happy. Smile. Why do you want to do _____? Motivation is the key to happiness.

I think it's ok to be lazy sometimes, if lazy means doing a minimum of things during the day. Sometimes we need to rewind if we've been busy. Or maybe we just have a lot of thoughts on our mind that take a lot of energy. But it's good to try to get outdoors, maybe just for a walk to the local shop. Both to get fresh air and exercise, but also to see people and push our comfort zone. You might not be able to do this at once and I think it's natural to have a preparation period before doing something that feels uncomfortable. But aim to do it at some point, and aim to be around other people regularly. I think we are social people all of us and we want connections. So do a course or start listening and helping people on 7 cups. I think that would make a positive difference.

Laziness always go hand in hand with Procrastination. Try to put away procrastination or worry when doing something. Try setting targets for yourself and achieving them one step at a time.

well, it depends, to start thinking about how good you will feel after whatever you chose to do, you know?

What if it weren't laziness? What if what you are really feeling... is fear? Often, we avoid doing things because we feel scared, or blocked. Getting up and doing things, and participating will often cause change to happen, and change -- can be scary. It's often easier to stay with what you know, even if it makes you unhappy or frustrates you, than to take a risk on something that may or not be better. Or that may stir up some intense feelings, as getting up and moving, both physically and emotionally/mentally, can do just that. What if you were to set one tiny little goal for yourself per day? Something small? Do that for a week, then try two per day. Then move on to the bigger goals you have in life. If and when it gets overwhelming, stop. Take a breath. Take another breath. Focus on your breathing. It might be easier to get into new habits of doing things, instead of being "lazy," with tiny steps and self-care along the way.

I tend to find that the things that make me lazy are when I give my mind an opportunity to come up with an excuse not to do it. For example if the day before I decided that I was going to the gym when I wake up then after I've woken up my brain all of a sudden will try to think things like "maybe I'm too tired or maybe I'm too ill to go today" The trick is to accept that you're going to do x activity regardless and ignore those thoughts that try to get in the way.

That is a very good question ! Laziness , especially we teens suffer from that to a great extent . Laziness can be defined as lack of activity both mental and physical . Stopping laziness first of all , and most importantly stands on the WILL and DESIRE of that person whether to stop it or not , so basically will power plays a very essential role here...Ways to stop it can be real simple daily activities , committing these activities can for sure drown it's affect gradually , finding new fun activities can also be a very important contributing agent in the process of stopping this global deal with-needed issue. As for mental laziness , a book , the best friend can really be of great help , at the end Thomas Edison totally astounded us with his quote ( Reading for the brain is like exercise for the body ) ..Also writing anything , a story , a poem , a quote...can stimulate our mental activity all along side playing brain games , solving puzzles and riddles :D .

You have to remember that being lazy is comfortable, but it won't help you in the long run. Just try to find a way to motivate yourself into doing something.
