Sitting idle for too long? Waiting for someone else to answer the phone calls? Giving a very low output in office work? Clearly you’ve become lazy. Laziness is the habit of doing things slowly… That’s nothing to boast about!!!
As a matter of fact, people are not born lazy. If they’re subjected to a situation where everybody around them works slowly, they get slowed down too.
Some possible reasons for laziness:
- Too much of pampering in childhood: Initially parents have to do small jobs for their children like dressing them up, giving them a shower and tying up the shoelaces. If they continue to do all this after a certain age, the kids will never feel like doing their work on their own. This instills laziness in them.
- Physically unfit: Some people are too skinny and weak to work with speed. Such people become lazy as they can’t be active anyway. Not only skinny people, fat and obese people too, find it hard to work faster.
- Surroundings: If office timings are from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and everyone comes at eleven and leaves at four, then obviously you wouldn’t want to come early to work either. Work will continue at a very slow pace and this creates an environment of laziness.
- Job dissatisfaction: There is nothing more disgusting than doing something you don’t like at all, for nine hours a day. In such a situation you get obsessed with your work and do it slowly and end up being lazy.
How to get rid of laziness?
You may have been lazy in the childhood days, but those days are over!!! If you’re serious about your work, then be punctual. Start doing your work yourself rather than relying on others to do it. A healthy mind stays only in a healthy body!!!So give at least half an hour for physical exercise daily. Take up meditation and yoga to keep your body healthy and your mind sharp.
Laziness is not a disease. It’s just a state of mind which slows down your body. You will have to tone your body and regulate your mind to get rid of it.
