Lazy people will often spend more effort (and time) finding ways to avoid working than they would have if they just got the work done in the first place. Lazy is a state of mind, not a dysfunction or inability to apply effort. It is what that effort is applied to that is usually the culprit. When we procrastinate, it's not because we don't wish to apply our will to the task, but rather because it's our way of rebelling against it. This should urge you to practice discernment with yourself - maybe it's not that the task itself is somehow daunting, but rather you who secretly does not wish to complete it. There are many reasons why you could be feeling this way. Most humans are never taught this lesson - and it tends to cripple them quite a bit in life. Instead of guilt-tripping yourself and putting yourself through a meatgrinder, it is wise to consider and reevaluate these effects first: 1) Your general outlook on life, lack of long-term vision. You shouldn't be doing tasks as chores in the first place, if the task serves a greater purpose - it will never be difficult to complete. If you don't understand *why* you need to do a certain task, it will be infinitely more difficult to go through with it. For example, we don't brush our teeth every morning because it is an amazing and exciting process on its own. We do so because we understand its *long term implications and benefits*. Some people don't, they just force themselves to do it because their parents taught them it was a smart thing to do- and all the girls will look at them funny when they don't - but they perhaps forgot to learn *why* it was a smart thing to do. If you find yourself being lazy about something - think about what you are not understanding about its long-term benefits, or whether it even has any long-term benefits. Laziness is usually just a very well-hidden blindspot, or a lack of superior perspective. Perspective can always be improved, shifted - you must learn to bend and sway outlook in such a manner that serves your highest goal and greatest vision. Identifying the benefit of a thing helps you invest into it in the moment as something that will definitively pay off in the future. Remember, you must see the benefit in all things you venture out to do, no matter how big or small. Understanding the benefit of a practice enhances our desire to accomplish it - and reduces the amount of conscious willpower we are required to exert to complete it. 2) The second thing you must consider is the source of your inner rebellion. Procrastination, hesitation also tend to be symptoms of living in misalignment. If you have a natural resistance to completing a task because it feels boring and alien to you, it is probably because what you do does not resonate with your calling, your deep essence and truth. You must also understand that this rebellion can be redirected towards the journey itself, it should never have been aimed at the task at hand. The task at hand, let's say a dead-end job, is not the reason behind your lazy. It is your inability to consider it as anything other than misery and punishment that further consolidates and triggers your lazy. A dead-end job, viewed from the lens of a stepping stone to your actual goal - something that makes you feel happy, accomplished, etc. - is far less difficult to wade through. Perspective is everything. In psychology, healing, therapy - the single most effective metric that brings tangible results almost exclusively comes from a /shift in perspective/ - not a shift in /reality/. THE PERSPECTIVE WHICH YOU IMPRESS ON REALITY WILL END UP DEFINING THE NATURE OF THAT REALITY. PERSPECTIVE IS TO REALITY WHAT COLOUR IS TO A PAINTING. You can't always choose your painting, but you can always choose how to color it.
