Laziness is a consequence of a task that seems impossible for a person to do. In other words, the body reacts with laziness when some business seems senseless to it. Unfortunately, almost everything seems senseless to him.
Why waste time on sports if you had a good life before. Why limit yourself to food if you enjoy it. And why change something in life, if everything suits.
Sloth is the body’s protective tool that protects it to conserve energy. The less energy, the lazier the person, and vice versa. It turns out a vicious circle. But there is a way out of it.
Task separation
For example, you need to fulfill a laborious, but not urgent assignment for work at home. Such things are often postponed until later, but now the person decided to carry it out. His brain automatically tells him: "Why do you need it now, an interesting film will start on TV soon, and in the fridge there is a delicious dinner, 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 just sit down and turn on the computer." After the task is completed, again turning to the brain: “I sat down, opened the task, I don’t feel like getting up right now. Therefore, I’ll just read the task.” So one subtask is executed, then another. And after the successive completion of small tasks, the work is done.
Our consciousness does not like to spend a lot of energy and tries to protect it as much as possible. Especially if a person leads an inactive lifestyle. And breaking a large task into small ones is a good solution. It is recommended to perform such manipulations with all goals.
The dream - to learn English - begins with reading foreign words and their pronunciation. Running in the morning begins with getting out of bed.
Constancy
Given the previous step, it is important to maintain consistency. For example, a person decided to start going to the gym in the morning. You should start with the fact that he will just get up in the morning and drink a glass of water. It is worth doing this manipulation for a week, after adding to this walking around the apartment. These small steps will lead to the fact that a person will begin to engage in the gym. The main thing here is not speed, but constancy of action.
Breaks
Conscious breaks are important to replenish energy, psychological and physical. It is enough to allocate 1 day a week to rest, and the body will not feel overloaded.
