Why am I so lazy? Try these tips.

Whenever you feel so lazy, remember this.

You’re not alone.

Others like you are also struggling with feeling so lazy so it’s important to not think there’s something broken in your that makes this problem unique to only you.

But overall:

It’s not enough to try to use will power to change. Instead you have to first understand why, then next change your psychology deep down.

If you understand this, it’ll definitely help you.

A lot.

Reasons why you feel so lazy.

Here are the most common ones I’ve seen that tends to affect students a lot and make them feel so so lazy.

• You’re overwhelmed by the amount of work in front of you.
• You struggle to see how what you have to do connects to the future.
  • This could be a major you don’t like anymore or never liked
  • A course requirement that you think is pointless but you have to take
  • Assignments that seem like they don’t give you any skills now or in the future.
• You’re a perfectionist with zero motivation to start because it just won’t be perfect.
• Eating terribly makes you have zero energy and just want to sleep all the time.
• Barely drinking water will make you rarely interested in anything because you’re seriously dehydrated.
• Your mind has been trained to be lazy.
• Your psychological story is messed up — you call yourself so you’ll secretly prove yourself right by being lazy.

How to stop being lazy.

Lots of solutions but we’ll focus on the last two areas more:

1. Drink more water. Seriously.
2. You need the emotional “I’m so so done!”
3. Watch the questions you ask yourself.

Let’s get to them.

1/ Drinking more water can lessen your laziness.

This one’s so straightforward that you might roll your eyes and miss it.

But trust me, you need it.

A lot of things happening most times:

• Most times you feel stressed your body just lacks more water.
• Most times you think you’re hungry, you’re actually thirsty.
• Most times you feel distracted, you body clock is off because you’re just dehydrated.

2/ Find your emotional “I’m so done!” to stop being lazy.

If you say you’re lazy, I believe you.

I can tell you “try to work hard”.

But you and I both know that won’t do anything to you.

So let’s go a little deeper.

I know what you’re saying is that you want to stop being lazy and see yourself working hard more and more. But somehow it’s just not happening.

Why?

Well, it’s because you are not emotionally seriously fed up with being lazy. You only know mentally that laziness is bad.

But on a psychological level, it hasn’t clicked.

So your struggle will continue happening because you’re seriously gaining something from being lazy.

Remember, as humans, we run from anything that causes pain. And run towards anything that is familiar, gives us comfort, or has some type of juicy reward.

Your laziness gives you familiarity, comfort, and some type of juicy reward.

That’s why it’s hard to stop.

It’s like someone taking advantage of you and you keep excusing them and then one day they do something that makes you go: “eff this, I’m so so done!”

That’s the emotional “I’m so so done” you need to beat laziness once and for all.

At that point, the reward you secretly enjoy from your laziness has now been overshadowed by the regret and negativity from being lazy that you absolutely refuse to take one more second of any type of laziness.

Until you have this, the laziness won’t really truly stop.

3/ Watch the questions you ask yourself can beat feeling lazy.

If you ask yourself: “why am I so stupid?”

Your mind will come up with so many answers.

_ “Oh, you’re stupid because no one likes you, you’re slow, food falls off your mouth while you eat, you laugh weird, your head is lopsided, and no one likes you…”_

A stupid answer to a stupid question. All to prove you’re stupid.

If you ask “why am I so lazy?”

Same deal. Your mind will also come up with all sorts of answers. To prove and re-confirm that you’re lazy.

But if you ask: *- “how can I start to work hard more?”

• “how can I act more productive today?”
• “how can I become more of someone who gets things done?”*

Your mind will also come up with answers.

It’ll be hard at first if you’re not used to asking quality questions.

But overtime, your mind will slowly start to find responses that changes how you see yourself.

The better your questions, the better the story you tell yourself.
