If you decide to do nothing, you can become your own enemy, especially if you start leaving responsibilities for pleasure, leisure, or postponing them to the detriment of more pressing obligations. It can be the beginning of laziness, despondency or reluctance, because they are allies of negativities that damage, produce mood disorders and impair the perception of everything.
According to specialists, procrastination is a behavior habit related to wanting and willingness to act. It refers to the action of delaying, postponing pending situations or activities, with high priority, when the will begins to lack energy, due to a spiritual descent, due to the decrease in desire for traditional practices.
Laziness can be both from the physical, which is one of the most common expressions, or from the mental, which is born mainly due to a lack of motivation, by not calculating certain benefits in anything, in addition to what is known as existential, for emotional situations that you did not fully resolve, previously, with past exhaustion.
This state of mind also has a fourth denomination, spiritual, due to lack of interest and enthusiasm for life in general, by failing to instill initiatives, projects, goals, without prioritizing routines.
It is recommended, in a general sense, to renew intellectual activity to increase skills, emotions, passions, motivations, to avoid the feeling of boredom, from your potential to self-motivation.
You should not surround yourself with toxic, negative people, or give in to hopelessness, list the pending jobs, start with the most tedious, but prioritize the simple ones, do it in parts, visualize the benefits of each one, avoid distractions and maintain a good atmosphere.
Pay attention to not follow routines, or adapt to them, discover motivations, do not delay urgent situations, or replace them with other activities that are more pleasant and, less, because you prefer to do nothing.
The justification tends to deceive, confuse what is urgent or not and victimizes you by prioritizing what is not urgent and contributes to delaying projects, by deciding: "here and now".
As the English poet William Cowper expressed: "A lazy person is a clock without needles, being useless whether he walks or stands still."
