How to overcome laziness? - General Health Message Board

Are you lazy and aware of it? I am. Academically, I've always been successful, but I'm still lazy. I know I could achieve more in life if I wasn't this lazy!

Do I need to just accept this fact or should I do something to overcome my laziness? What are the successful techniques you know to overcome laziness?

Hi steven5. I suggest that you first have a complete physical to rule out anything that may be causing fatigue and/or lack of motivation (such as a thyroid disorder).

How is your diet? Do you drink a lot of water and exercise regularly? This can have a huge impact on your energy level.

What do you mean by laziness? In what sort of circumstances do you do less than you think you should?

There could be a lot of things going on there.

I would first suspect something medical or diet related. Possibly thyroid problems, blood sugar problems, or depression. Sleep disturbances are also large energy drains; do you snore and possibly have sleep apnea?

Most people are not naturally lazy. If they don't get enjoyment from what they are doing then I would first suspect something medical or diet related. Possibly thyroid problems, blood sugar problems, or depression. Sleep disturbances are also large energy drains; do you snore and possibly have sleep apnea?
