Work with pleasure and be lazy with benefit!

Oh, this laziness-mother! Just think, how might our lives, if not treacherous villain who constantly interferes with and impedes the achievement of our goals. It destroys nothing and does not break. But gradually, peacefully, so to speak, by the way still spoils our life. Out of laziness often we don't realize all that would like to implement, does not reach those heights dreamed of, do not achieve that status, which itself has ever seen. How to fight it? At first glance, there's nothing complicated, you just need to exercise willpower. However, all is not so simple. Psychologists say that laziness is just a smokescreen, hiding the true (often unconscious) reasons for doing nothing. Not knowing them, laziness pretty hard to resist. However, in some cases, the understanding of these motives help us find ways to solve problems.


Probably one of the most common causes of laziness is a lack of motivation or the lack of it. If the result is required not to us, but to someone else, to carry out such a task, as a rule, I don't want. Also we are lazy, when there is no material interest, in the case of aversion to the activity or the conditions for its implementation. In addition, if we have to deal unloved business, which is not the soul - also begin to sabotage the performance of assigned tasks. However, the laziness suddenly somewhere disappears when we personally really need something. For example, hardly anyone will be lazy, to escape from bullies or going on a date with the favourite person. However, once you start any routine, ordinary matter (dust wipe, a report to write and t.n.) - laziness-mother here. It turns out, afraid she interest and passion. Of course, it is not always possible to deal exclusively interesting things. Therefore, it is necessary to find personal meaning in ordinary, everyday work. Even this hateful General cleaning or boring information we do for our own good: that our apartment was clean and comfortable, the head of us sympathetic...




Under the mask of laziness often hides a fear of failure, insecurity in their abilities. Putting aside "for later" performing a difficult task, we think something like this: "And suddenly can't do it? What then? Only disgraces himself. So why start? ""Well, I couldn't do that even should not be taken"... What to do in such cases? First, you need to properly assess their resources, and secondly to consider how you can get help in case of difficulties. And thirdly - try. The most effective way of dealing with fear, take a step to meet him. Often a task that seems difficult at first, progress is quite feasible. A good recipe for such cases, there is a proverb: "you Cannot swallow the whole elephant. But you can eat it on the steak". If laziness is caused by the fear of a big hard things, you can divide it into several smaller and less complex tasks, which are to be taken will not be so scary.




Cause laziness is often the fear of change, including fear, which can be formulated in the following way: "What to do with the success, if he suddenly fall on my poor head, that I will perform this task". Because success often entails some changes, such as: promotion, moving to a new job, change of duties, social roles, and so on, And all of the unknown frightens us. When this fear is too great, we are starting to shy away even from a promising and important Affairs. In such cases, should ponder the consequences of possible success and how best to organize their future life in the light of future changes. Awareness and readiness for innovation relieve anxiety, which hides behind the screen of laziness.




Often we are too lazy due to simply lack willpower. "I can't bring yourself, although I know that to do it" - so in this case we explain the reason for your inactivity. The main thing here is to move yourself from place, to start to do something. For many lazy people the first step is a push, after which they are included in the work. And for that you own conation. So here we have to make myself.




Sometimes laziness is a secondary benefit. In most cases, this applies to people unsuccessful, colloquially called losers. But no need to rush them to regret, because it's not that easy. In fact, due to their laziness they usually do not have good jobs, adequate income and decent living conditions. But they have many reasons for complaints on the fate of the villain, which is so merciless and ruthless. As a result of their care, every kind of help relatives and friends. These idlers laziness creates a way of life. They will not cease to be lazy, while will be the people performing them for a particular job, solving their problems, etc.




To deal with laziness, you also need self-discipline, planning activities, taking into account the possibilities and importance of tasks, self-report at the end of the day, rewards as a result of successful implementation of the plan. But to use the method of punishment psychologists do not recommend: it is ineffective for themselves.




But as you know, everything in this world is relative. And laziness is no exception. It turns out that it is in some cases able to benefit. It can and should be used as litmus paper, which upon careful study will show that we need now, and what should be avoided, in which direction to move, and where it is better not to go.




So, very often we are forced to evade work banal fatigue (physical and/or moral). It is peculiar to a greater extent workaholics and people with a high level of claims. "Burning at work, striving to grasp the immensity, they attributed the decrease in efficiency is not with fatigue and unwillingness to work and, instead, to rest, continue to fit yourself and make. In this case, laziness is not the enemy, preventing to achieve success, but rather one that tells that the body needs rest.




Another option is useful laziness: laziness as a timeout before performing complex tasks. It happens when we go around and around and I can't get down to business. And after some time to get to work and do it quickly and efficiently. The fact that this timeout for and need to consider how best to achieve our target.




There is no doubt that laziness brings certain benefits, but in addition brings about anxiety. After all, when something must be done, but for some reason is constantly delayed, appears concern because of the mismatch proper and real. In addition, it is dangerous because it can seamlessly get into the habit. And then life begins tomorrow: I'll leave it for tomorrow, which is Friday, but at least it will be accepted from Monday, but it may be postponed until next week... Deceit laziness lies in the fact that it can be contagious. Therefore it is better not to communicate with lazy. They often have their own philosophy justifying inaction. In close cooperation to resist such influence can be difficult.
