Laziness is a consequence of a task that seems beyond the power of a person. In other words, the body reacts with laziness when something seems meaningless to it. Unfortunately, almost everything seems meaningless to him.
Why waste time on sports if you used to live well without it? Why limit yourself to food if you enjoy it. And why change something in life if everything suits you.
Laziness is the body's protective tool, protecting it to conserve energy. The less energy, the more lazy the person is, and vice versa. It turns out a vicious circle. But there is a way out of it.
Separation of tasks
For example, you might need to complete a time-consuming but not urgent work-from-home assignment. Such cases are often postponed until later, but now the person has decided to fulfill it. His brain automatically tells him: "Why do you need this now, an interesting movie will start on TV soon, and there is a delicious lunch in the fridge, have a snack." The fact is that the body is not used to sudden changes, especially with a passive lifestyle. And how to convince him? You just need to divide a large task into many small subtasks.
To begin with, tell your mind: "I'll just sit down and turn on the computer." After the task is completed, again the appeal to the brain: "I sat down, opened the task, I do not want to get up right now. Therefore, I will just read the task." This is how one subtask is performed, then another. And after completing the small tasks one by one, the work is done.
Our consciousness does not like to waste a lot of energy and tries to save it as much as possible. Especially if a person leads an inactive lifestyle. And breaking a big problem into small ones is a good solution. It is recommended to do such manipulations with all targets.
The dream - to learn English - starts with reading foreign words and their pronunciation. Jogging in the morning begins with getting out of bed.
Constancy
Given the previous step, it is important to be consistent. For example, a person decides to start going to the gym in the morning. It should start by saying that he will simply get up in the morning and drink a glass of water. It is worth doing this manipulation within a week, then add walking around the apartment to this. These small steps will lead to the person going to the gym. The main thing here is not speed, but constancy of actions.
Breaks
Mindful breaks are important for replenishing energy, both mental and physical. It is enough to allocate 1 day a week for rest, and the body will not feel overwhelmed.
Activity
Basically, laziness is experienced by those who are not active in life. The main thing is not just to engage in at least some kind of activity, but that which brings joy and benefit. For example, a person goes to an unloved job. And such an activity cannot be called useful, although it brings money. Moral satisfaction is not brought, psychic resources are not replenished. The brain begins to think that its owner does not know how to properly allocate its resources and turns on the "laziness" mode. And if you do what you love, then the brain understands that its owner is using resources correctly. And the "encouragement" mode is turned on, which gives even more strength and energy.
