How to Stop Being Lazy and Work Hard
Laziness can put an end to a wide range of things. Here are some tips to get you motivated, so put down that remote control, and get ready to work.
Steps
Set some goals. If you have goals set up for yourself, you have something to look forward to (not to mention a paycheck) Your goals can be to work hard, then in 1 or two years (depending on your profession) you can take that trip to Italy, or Hawaii. Pick goals which are high and will really inspire you. Picture what you really want. Low goals will not really motivate you. Your goals can be to save to buy your dream home, that red sports car, or save to fullfill your lifelong dreams (maybe you've been wanting to open a bookstore, an arcade, or start your own publishing company). Make a to-do list, both of large and small things, and prioritize.
If you do not work or need to leave your house first thing in the morning - set your alarm to wake up at a decent morning hour - say 7 am. Shower, get dressed and make yourself look presentable before leaving your room. (Make your bed so it doesn't appeal to you later.)
Make sure you're on a healthy diet; junk food doesn't give your body the nutrients it needs to be active.
Get exercise. Go jogging through your neighborhood a few times a week, and in time you will see an improvement in the way that you feel, and look. Working out will give you a lot of motivation, and keep you from getting or feeling lazy.
Tips
If you haven't worked out much before, stretch first, then start slow, or you will be in so much pain from sore muscles, or pulled muscles. Make sure to drink a lot of water, so you don't become dehydrated.
Make a goal sheet, or copy that sheet so you have a couple of them, place one on the fridge, on your night stand, by your computer, even on the bedroom door, just place them where you look or go to often.
Tell yourself all the time, that if you're not working, you're not making the money that you want. Being broke can be one of the biggest motivations ever.
Stay off the couch until you are ready to take a break and when you do, sit, do not lay down and set a time when you will return to do other activities around the house or with the kids, read a book, write to a friend etc.
Make a list of all the smaller things that you want, new clothes, a cd player, some furniture, even a dog. Think about the things that you want every day; if it's constantly in your mind, you'll start moving toward those goals.
Always dress as if you were planning to leave the house -- get out of the jammies before leaving the bedroom.
Getting enough sleep each night can make you feel more awake. Depending on your activity and age, you may need up to 10 hours (teenagers) or as little as 5 (elderly).
Avoid sugar, and especially foods with "high fructose corn syrup" or "corn syrup" in the ingredients, as these can lead your body into metabolizing sugars instead of fats. Also, unnatural sugars (without fiber) may give you a short energy buzz, but then a drop and you will feel lazy and fatigued.
Warnings
There's a difference between resting and being lazy, so be careful to not get so lazy that it starts affecting your health. To name a few, obesity, stress, and depression. You can become depressed if you begin to feel like you're wanting to stay home and watch X-rated movies and spend exessive amount of time playing game-boys or computer games, when you should be resting for your next day's work or mowing the lawn, or spending quality time with your family. This will begin to make you feel better about going to work when you see the smile it puts on your family's face, to know that you are paying your bills and have plenty to eat.
Laziness can be a sign of depression. When you’re depressed your mind and body don’t have the energy to keep active. If the suggestions above don’t increase your activity level, then you may have a more serious case of depression and will need to seek medical attention. Most colleges offer free counseling for students.
Depression is a normal part of the emotional cycle. Everyone will get depressed at some point and most come out of it within a few days. But if the depression lasts longer, or it starts interfering with your work/school, or it occurs frequently, then you should seek professional advice.
Determine that you have no medical condition which makes you weak, tired, or sleepy, such as low blood pressure, diabetes, anemia, hypothyroidism, etc.

That was 3 years well wasted.
Snap out of this lazy a$$ routine, and change things in your life.
Get motivated and go outside! Go for a walk. Plant a garden. Ride a bike. Do SOMETHING!
Nothing that anybody says on here will mean a damn thing if you don't do anything!

often I have not any situation with all people that smokes weed. i do no longer see it any worse than ingesting alcohol. That being mentioned, this is extremely heavily addicting. in basic terms like alcohol. those that are asserting to maintain on smoking are clueless. Rehab may be the thank you to bypass, yet this is the time to work out in case you have the self-discipline and adulthood to do it your self. do no longer attempt and do it chilly turkey. in case you do, you are able to as nicely examine right into a rehab facility. commence lowering. Smoke one much less blunt or joint or .bowl, what ever your gig is. you need to take it sluggish. After each week shrink it lower back lower back. in case you're no longer waiting, wait yet another week. in basic terms artwork on it and this is finished. desire this helps and maximum suitable needs on your restoration. Edit: An habit is an habit, no count if this is psychological or physiological

Go see a psychologist to find out the root of your laziness and help you set some goals for yourself.

You have to move around, this will put oxygen in your blood and give you more enrgy. you have to keep moving , get a job, and a life. That always works well for the biggest part of man kind. oxygen is good for the soul and spirit.

sounds like depression to me. Not laziness. Dysthymia is a form of depression that lasts several years and hinders your ability to work. go see a doctor.

Is it laziness or depression or chronic fatigue syndrome? Make sure nothing is phycially wrong with you. If nothing is, get up and do something. Once you get moving, it will be easier to stay moving.
