Laziness takes up a lot of energy. And that is the problem — laziness takes energy, but it does not make energy. Laziness. — Victor Pride
What is laziness?
Laziness is doing something you believe is necessary but don’t want to do.
Let me ask you a question.
Would you put it off or procrastinate if you want to accomplish something?
If you’re in love and waiting for your loved one at the airport, they will be there in less than 10 minutes, and you will continuously check your watch.
Let’s say you checked the watch at least 20 times.
Why would somebody do such a thing?
They’d want to delay it.
In the opposite meaning, you are lazy because you want to do something you don’t want to do.
But why are you trying to force yourself to do something you don’t want to do?
The meaning of life is to live a meaningful life.— Bill Phillips
Try to live a meaningful life; change it if you don’t like something.
Will you put things off if you’re doing something significant?
Try to find that one thing you want to work on, not postpone; in that case, you will get rid of laziness by just focusing on this one thing you really like to do.
Try to find that one thing you genuinely want to accomplish; if you do, you will be able to get rid of laziness promptly.
My two steps approach
I used to be really, really lazy. However, since I started to work on the following two things, my laziness has almost disappeared.
Step ONE
Focusing on eating nutritional-dense food. This improved my energy level. Here are the most nutritional-dense foods I consume often.
- Salmon
- Kale
- Garlic
- Potatoes — I prefer sweet potatoes.
- Berries — I don’t remember if I ever missed wild blackberries in a single day in the past five years.
- Eggs
- Dark chocolate — I consume this ONE.
Step TWO
I make sure to hit the gym 3–4 times a week.
I recently moved to a hill station; in winter, going to the gym is pretty bad. Last year, I invested in a home gym.
It’s one of the best investments I ever made. The investment helped me a lot to overcome laziness and boost my overall health.
After a 45-minute gym session, I prefer to go on a long walk (10,000+ steps); I do around 5000 steps in the morning and 5000 after work.
So don’t beat yourself to hit your goal; focus on improving your health by prioritizing nutritional-dense food and exercise.
