Do people call you lazy? Look into the clear reasons for laziness.

 

Introduction:

                             Many of you have frequently heard the question "Why are you so lazy" from others, and after hearing it, you may have thought, "I'm not lazy," or "What are the primary causes of laziness?" I'll go over the key causes of laziness in this article.

Reasons for laziness:

1. Preferences:

                            This might drive you crazy. How are preferences related to laziness? But actually, they are related to laziness. You are lazy at those tasks to which you give the least importance. The tasks which are not on the top of your priority list are those which you can neglect easily because they are not that important to you. And on these tasks, people might call you lazy but in reality, you are only giving importance to only the things that really matter to you.

2. Put Outcomes first:

                 This happens most of the time when we are working on a project or starting something new. We often fall into the trap of thinking about the outcome. It is natural that whenever we are starting something, the first thought that comes to our minds is “is this going to be great?”, “Are people going to like my work?” “ what would others think if I failed at it?”. These thoughts sometimes capture your brain so hard that they lead you to laziness. You will feel yourself to be lazy at doing that task. Because you are thinking about the results in the beginning and are not focusing on the process or the procedure, how are you going to make it?   

3. Your emotional state:

                   This is another crucial explanation for your laziness, one that we occasionally overlook when trying to figure out why we're so lazy. Whenever we are sad or emotionally not well we feel ourselves to be lazy at doing things. We prefer to lie on the couch and be in that emotional state. Any task becomes too challenging for us to do when we are unhappy, anxious, exhausted, or depressed. So our emotional state is always related to our laziness.

4. The brain is programmed to be lazy:

                The results, headed by researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada suggest, "We knew from previous studies that people are faster at avoiding sedentary behaviors and moving toward active behaviors. The exciting novelty of our study is that it shows this faster avoidance of physical inactivity comes at a cost -- and that is an increased involvement of brain resources," Boisgontier said. "These results suggest that our brain is innately attracted to sedentary behaviors." So, according to this research, our brain is naturally more attracted to laziness or to the tasks that require the least amount of input or effort.

How to Overcome laziness?

1. Manage your preferences:

                            You must carefully consider the tasks that are truly important to you and those you are not giving enough time to if you wish to alter your preferences. To appropriately prioritize your activities and ensure that you have the time and motivation to complete them, you must properly manage all of your tasks.

2. Shift your attention from the

  outcome to the process:

                         In this, you have to effectively shift your thoughts from the stress of results to the procedure of the task. You have to initiate positive self-talk with yourself in which you have to make yourself think that all you have to do is to put the best of yourself into the task and leave the rest to God. By shifting your thoughts from the results you will feel motivated and driven to your task.

3. Avoid thinking about your negative

emotions:

                        Being in a negative emotional state not only stops you from performing your tasks effectively but also has a very bad effect on your mental and physical health. You have to distract yourself whenever you feel sad, stressed, tired of all the daily routine, or depressed. You can do this by listening to music, watching Netflix or going for a walk, or going for a trip to your favorite place. All these things will help you to distract yourself from negative emotional states and put you into a positive one and you will be able to work on your task without any laziness.

4. Brain reprogramming:

                              According to researchers, you can reprogram your brain the way you want. "Anything that happens automatically is difficult to inhibit, even if you want to, because you don't know that it is happening. But knowing that it is happening is an important first step," Boisgontier said.

               According to research from the University of British Columbia (UBC), our brain is attracted to laziness. But we can reprogram our brain by visualizing our thoughts, carefully examining the way we behave and by convincing our minds to change the way we behave, and by thinking positively and being grateful for everything we have. By reprogramming our brain we can easily overcome our laziness.

Conclusion:

                                 Because of the way we manage our preferences, our poor emotional state, and the tension of the results, we may become lazy. We experience laziness for a variety of reasons, but we can overcome it by carefully managing our priorities, properly wiring our brains, and focusing on the process of tasks so we are less anxious about the outcomes. We can also overcome our laziness by making ourselves happier in challenging circumstances because only we have the power to alter our thoughts and feelings.
