All to do laziness and reluctance. Why we are lazy and what to do about it
Judging by the fact that you started reading this article, you know firsthand what laziness is. Each of us has been too lazy throughout our lives: to do homework, walk the dog, go to work or go to the gym. Laziness can be perceived in different ways.
From a psychological point of view, laziness can be perceived positively, negatively, and as a disease.
"Positive" laziness. You work 12-hour days, chat with friends, manage to redo a bunch of everything, but one day you wake up with the feeling that today you don’t even feel like getting up. If bouts of laziness are not typical for you, treat them doubly carefully. Often with such a sudden bout of laziness, the body informs you of its fatigue, tries to “paralyze” your vigorous activity, because it sees no other way to make you rest. Do not resist: the sooner you agree with your own body and allow yourself at least one day to be lazy, the sooner you will recover. Otherwise, attacks of unmotivated laziness may become more frequent or, which is absolutely undesirable, the body will let you know about its fatigue with a sudden cold or something more serious.
"Negative" laziness - when you cannot force yourself to do something or do it through force. Laziness here indicates that you are doing something that you do not accept deep down; you feel like it's not for you. If such laziness visits you before a certain lesson, think: “Is this really what I want to do?”. “Negative” laziness can hide boredom, a meaningless or very difficult task for you, the absence of a specific goal - this is your subconscious mind telling you that you need to look for a more suitable line of activity or other motivation. Even if at the moment you do not have the opportunity to change something drastically, try to find positive moments in the necessary work, reward yourself for doing it. So, for example, chronic laziness in relation to sports will recede if you change the hated gym for swimming or walking.
And finally "painful" laziness. You suddenly notice that it has become too lazy to do something that used to cause a lot of positive emotions and a surge of enthusiasm (for example, a party with friends or a new project at work). There seem to be no special reasons for fatigue, but “laziness” does not recede for more than two weeks - here it is worth thinking about what is happening. If you have not been to the doctor for a long time, you should visit a therapist and take tests. Sometimes "laziness" is caused by a hormonal imbalance or a decrease in hemoglobin. If everything is fine with health, and “laziness” does not let go, it makes sense to understand the reasons for what is happening with a psychologist or psychotherapist, since such a condition can be a symptom of a latent and sluggish depression, and this is a completely different story that has nothing to do with ordinary laziness .
Many are wondering "Why am I such a lazy ass?".
Really - why? And why does it interest everyone, for example, you? Someone - less often, someone more often, and someone thinks about it all the time. The answer to the second question is obvious - because we are all too lazy to do something from time to time. The answer to the first question will be... right now.
... and at the end there will be a very interesting conclusion that many will like ;-)
Let's define terms. What is laziness?
A state in which you don't feel like doing anything. "Breaks", not rushing and do not want to at all. The first important consequence is that laziness never exists "in general", by itself, in isolation from a specific deed/action.
Many people say that laziness is a lack of motivation. This, by the way, is confirmed by experiments: even the laziest quickly runs away from an angry dog and briskly jumps off a burning stool. Or, with pleasure, he will carry 40 kg of cargo on himself (if these are speakers needed for a serenade to his beloved girl). The idea, I think, is clear.
In principle, one could stop at this, once and for all defining: "lazy ass" is just "insufficiently motivated ass of the priest." This is a common, logical, but too shallow view of the problem. It doesn't answer the question: What to do with it?" and " How can I deal with my native laziness?"
Before the Most Important Secret of Laziness is revealed, I would like to say that laziness does not need to be fought. Laziness, as a state that occurs for a reason, is useful to understand. Learn to understand your laziness and one problem (with chronic and far-reaching consequences) in your Life will become less.
Step aside.
A few words about the Unconscious (it is also intuition, super-knowledge, "It" according to Freud, etc.). This is the primary part of the human psyche, responsible for survival. It "breathes" your body, makes your heart beat, produce hormones and renew cells, etc.
This is a powerful and indisputable force (in fact), making decisions that are justified later on a conscious level (blah blah sophistry and other logic). Or performed by us and completely without logical justification. When “with my mind I understand everything, but I can’t help myself, I’m drawn to him and that’s it” ...
By the way, you can learn to “negotiate” with the unconscious and connect its power to correct those situations and solve problems that are consciously solved with great difficulty (or not solved at all). There is a technique for this. The most pleasant thing about it is that you don’t have to do anything yourself, but you only need to “be led and enjoy it”, because. everything will add up (as if) by itself. However, this is a separate issue.
Laziness, like any other feeling/state, is a signal of the unconscious (intuition). In this case, about the inexpediency of wasting resources: strength, time, money, attention, effort and health. Something like: "no-no-no-no David Blaine, no-no-no-no" :-) Being lazy, the unconscious tries to draw your attention to the reason for this. And now we will analyze the reasons.
I’ll just put a copyright here so that readers who read this article from those who copied it to their page know that its coach Ildar Zinurov wrote (c) :-)
So, if you are too lazy to do something, this may be the result of one of 5 reasons...
And remember "I'm lazy" is an incomplete expression. It will be more accurate: "I'm too lazy to do this specifically, in this way, because ..." - and find the reason why you are too lazy.
So you can eliminate the cause (if necessary) or make another decision, be conscious and stop oppressing yourself with bad thoughts about yourself. Consciousness is cool.
And may you be happy :-)

So, a few tips for an adult lazy person to combat laziness:
Think positive - let positive emotions into your life. Think about what can shake you up (or just make you happy) - attending a concert of your favorite band, a football match, a tourist outing or just a trip to another city? Maybe it's time to jump with a parachute?
Never start a new life (business) from Monday - only here and now.
Recharge your energy - enter physical activity. You can’t force yourself to do morning exercises - sign up for group classes at the gym or pool at a convenient time for you. In a herd way, slowly you will be drawn in and will maintain your shape. A healthy body is a successful business!
Break your work down into small pieces and be sure to give yourself a reward for doing them, or at the very least, praise yourself out loud - a trifle, but nice.
Make yourself a visual reminder in which you will enjoy celebrating the work done.
Constantly remind yourself of exactly what goal you are moving towards. Every evening, in a conversation with relatives or friends, say what you managed to do during the day. These kind of reports can help stimulate your work activity - you should show off the work done.
Work in short bursts during which you complete real tasks.
Alternate pleasant and unpleasant things. Try, without hesitation, to do dull, boring work, because no one can do this without you. Motivate yourself - why are you doing this? Perhaps this is a chance to be noticed and appreciated. Or maybe you are a pioneer in general - so proud of yourself!
Remember that quality work will take much less time.
Don't believe in wizards and forget the word "maybe". Believe in your strength - and everything will work out for you!
At the same time, remember that laziness is not always bad. Listen to yourself - maybe you just haven’t rested for a long time and the apathy that has arisen towards everything is the first bell. In this case, it's time for you to go on vacation or you just need to sleep.
Life has long since become existence. There is no more desire, nothing more. You have to force yourself to every even the most elementary action. It becomes more and more difficult to be active in life.
But you have to go to work, because you have to provide for yourself. And you don't want to! Oh, if you could stay at home and do nothing, how nice it would be! But no, in order to maintain your existence, you need to be active, and doing this is becoming more and more difficult.
Laziness has taken over you. She plunged you into her quagmire, and it seems that the moment will soon come when it will become completely impossible to overcome yourself ...
It wasn't always like that. The apathetic state crept up so imperceptibly that you could not even track when you stopped wanting something from life, being active, acting. At some point, you just felt it for yourself. I felt that there were no more aspirations and desires, everything became lazy.
There seems to be no pain, but there is also no pleasure. Everything just became irrelevant. It feels like you are slowly dissolving into this inert swamp of laziness. Is there any way to get out of this sticky quagmire? The answer will be given by the System-Vector Psychology of Yuri Burlan.
Pathological laziness - what is the reason?
The system-vector psychology of Yuri Burlan emphasizes that our nature is the principle of pleasure. We can be active only when we get some satisfaction. It happens unconsciously. When a person knows for sure that he will get pleasure and a result, then he is ready to move mountains. If, for some reason, for a long time a person made a lot of efforts, performed some actions that required a lot of energy, effort and time, with the hope of achieving a result, but received absolutely no compensation and pleasure, he loses the desire to act.
It turns out that a person does something, does something, but does not feel satisfaction. All energy is wasted. And gradually the desire to act becomes less and less, until it disappears altogether and apathy begins, when you no longer want to do anything. What for?
Laziness as a character trait acquired in childhood
Why is this happening? It so happens that a stable skill for laziness is acquired by a person in childhood. This happens due to the fact that the parents raised the child not according to his innate properties and talents, but as they saw fit, based, for example, on their personal desires and aspirations.For example, when a child was forced to do something, to make efforts not according to his innate properties and talents, but was forced to work and those actions from which he ultimately did not enjoy.
As a result, an unconscious attitude is fixed in him for the rest of his life that no efforts lead to a pleasant result. As if unconsciously, he feels: no matter what he does, no matter how hard he tries, he will not get anything in the end, everything is hopeless and useless. And then he was already initially all too lazy. Initially, there is no desire to act, because he already knows in advance: any efforts are in vain.
How to overcome laziness?
As Yuri Burlan's System-Vector Psychology says, in order to get rid of laziness and apathy, it is first necessary to realize all the reasons that led to such states.The system-vector psychology of Yuri Burlan allows you to understand all the properties of your psyche, all your hidden talents and abilities, and therefore clearly understand what you need to do and in what area to realize yourself, getting maximum pleasure. And when you enjoy what you are doing, the question of laziness will disappear by itself.
For those who carry the habit of being lazy from childhood, the disclosure of those mechanisms and situations that caused unwillingness to do anything will allow them to change their life scenario from apathy and laziness to a passionate desire to live.
Here are just some of the results of people who, with the help of Yuri Burlan's Systemic Vector Psychology, were able to understand what would bring them pleasure in life, and thanks to this, laziness and apathy left without a trace. See how they describe the changes in their lives:
“... The “magic of the sofa” and the “magic of the Internet” stopped working on me. Many people know the phenomenon - when you need to do something, but it is impossible to put down the phone and get up from the couch. Definitely need to check out a few more posts. And yes, I can't!!! And so it was with me. Now there is no. Moreover, I began to lie down on the sofa only when I feel that I need rest. That is, now the rest has become a real rest for me, now I feel that my spent forces are being restored during it, and I return to business cheerful and active again ... "
Irina M., lactation consultant
“... A year has passed since the training, and I notice, not without surprise, how much my professional level has grown in the business that I have been doing for many years and in which, as it seemed to me, there was nowhere to grow. Before the training, I could afford to choose with whom to work and with whom not, choosing according to psychological compatibility with myself. Now I choose everyone))) because now I can "combine" with everyone, which greatly expanded my applicability in the field of my profession. And again, importantly, I learned to delegate authority within my team. More work, more realization, more opportunities for creativity, and again, indirectly through me from the people around me ... "
Sofia R., designer
“... The most striking physical result of the training is a great working capacity. Eternal fatigue, weakness, depression are gone, there is no longer the feeling that you live every day “through force”. Everything begins and is done in joy, in pleasure! ..."
Evgenia R., teacher of the Department of Pharmacy of the Faculty of Education, KSMU

There is laziness to do something, because a person is physically tired or his ability to mentally work has dried up. How to overcome such weakness, read in this article.
What is it with me? Laziness or weakness? If laziness is definitely not a disease, then you urgently need to start at least moving. Laziness is the same state as love, jealousy or the same irritability.
Well, see for yourself: falling in love, we begin to fall into a state where we see no one and nothing, only the object of enchanted love. And with manifestations of laziness, most likely, human weakness is hidden. And such weakness is the result of weak willpower. This is a normal condition, characteristic of all people.
It’s just that sometimes the supply of energy runs out or some circumstance affects when the word “must” becomes secondary, and doing it through “I don’t want” seems to be impossible. No, of course, you can pamper yourself by doing nothing while on a well-deserved vacation. But if laziness is already becoming a habit, then you need to get rid of it urgently.
How to overcome laziness?
1. If you are just physically tired and you are too lazy to do anything, then a good rest (lie down and sleep) will come in handy for you more than ever. Eat healthy food, but don't overeat. Your body simply ran out of energy resources and nutrients. You need recuperation. Take a vacation for at least 10 days, go to nature, breathe fresh air, smell the forest. An active lifestyle and sports should be present in the life of every person, and not just home-work, work-home, your body may not be able to withstand it.
2. With mental laziness, the situation is much more complicated. Most likely, you won’t get enough good sleep, good nutrition and nutrients here. Your mind needs to spend more time rebuilding its resources. Especially, in case of strong overvoltage. You may need to take a break for a week or more to restore your mental tone.
The only right solution, no matter how paradoxical it may sound, is to do physical activity so that the muscles of the body work, and the mind is free from constant tension. And it's been proven! Try it for yourself! Yoga, running, swimming, rocking - with the help of them your body will be in good shape, which will affect the state of your mind. Just do not sleep in the gym, but train!
Being engaged in short-term physical activity, the body will be relaxed, and mental fatigue will also pass accordingly.
So if laziness attacked you, you need to strain all your willpower and take certain actions. The most important thing is to start, and then everything will go on its own.
Let your life be varied, combine physical and mental work alternately, and then manifestations of laziness will bother you less often.
And do not forget, this laziness touches animals as well as us people, see photos.
