When and why do you feel lazy?

  • Fear, hatred, and weakness might be reasons you feel “lazy,” and when you do, then ask yourself why you want to do something in the first place. If it’s essential, then take a break and continue. If you don’t have a good answer to “why you want to do something?” then probably it’s better to move on.

  • We all need to love what we do, enjoy it, and put our heart and soul into it. You don’t have to do many things right; just a few things good. You should always prefer quality over quantity, and when you feel lazy, just relax, get organized and focus on few things at a time.

  • You can always do more than you think you can. Remember to put your strengths to good use, avoid distractions, and recognize your accomplishments and make sure your actions, mind, and words align with each other.
