How do you stop being lazy?

Question

I am so lazy all the time, I hate it. I need to stop. How? I don't like the way I look, and I want to workout more, but i'm so lazy. Advice?

Answer 1

The first step in getting out of the lazy rut, is to do something small, but productive. Then give yourself a mental pat on the back, then go out and do something a bit bigger, and do the same. The idea is to replace your bad habits with good ones. In a few weeks it becomes automatic to where you don't even think about it. You just sit back and look at all the cool things you did and start thinking about more cool things to do. Motivation begins with action, not vice versa.

Answer 2

Sounds like you would really benefit from a good counselor to help you take a look at these things & what could be behind them.
Whether full-blown depression, simple procrastination, or something in between, aiming for the core of the issue is your best, most thorough approach to getting a handle on this and getting past it successfully.
Best wishes, you should be enjoying some success soon!

Answer 3

you could be mildly depressed or you need to eat healthier. there are studies that show that unhealthy eating can cause you to have no energy. i know it sounds silly but even just drinking 8 glasses of water a day can give you a boost. it has worked for me because i always had no motivation. most of the time if you feel lazy you are also lacking in certain vitamins. It is crazy how much your physical affects the mental.

Oh man buddy, I know exactly what you mean. I have to start going to the gym... I've had a membership for the past couple months, and I went a lot at first... then I stopped going so much. I have to go!!! I'll go tonight now... you've inspired me.

My advice: maybe you need like a buddy, you know? I'll be your buddy! lol
