When we were young, we had so many plans. We’d always think about the limitless possibilities we’d have when we grow up. Then we go about playing, thinking that we have so much time ahead. We set those dreams aside and enjoy our youth to the fullest. While this may be a healthy attitude, some people take relaxation to another level. They procrastinate and set their planning to another day until that day comes too late.

They suddenly find themselves already grown up with no clear direction in their lives. They still depend on their parents for financial support even when moving out of the house is way overdue. They live in shame, but still don’t find the initiative to do something about it. This is laziness in its most basic and blatant form.
Most people lazy because they don’t know how to go about accomplishing their dreams. They paralyze themselves with an anger that’s been turned inwards. Sometimes, to overcome laziness, you must  allow yourself to be the laziest person on earth. Give yourself some time off, about a week tops so that this too doesn’t go on forever. Then, deprive yourself the comforts in life. Think about how things would be for you if you didn’t have anyone to depend on. Obviously, you won’t have much to live with. Everything requires money: TV, electricity, and so on. Focus your attention to just being lazy and try to avoid contact with friends as much as possible.

Basically, you would be doing nothing but get bored out of your wits.
Of course, you must not mistake taking some time out as being lazy. Look at this as your chance to recuperate and get over all your fears and uncertainties. Your body and mind work things out in ways you aren’t always conscious of. When life gets too chaotic and confusing, you end up becoming traumatized and jaded. So, you need time to take a step back so that you can once again become the confident person you once were.

As you go about in becoming a hermit of some sort, imagine what your life would’ve been like if you had fulfilled all the dreams you once had. It helps to be realistic, of course. We all wanted to be superheroes when we were young. That, of course, couldn’t be further from reality. The point is, you just need to imagine and create a reality of your own. This sort of play produces your most creative spark. Document the details of your new life if you must. Whether you choose to draw, write, or record your story, know that this act can be very prophetic.

Overcoming laziness can be an extremely rewarding activity. You will realize that creative play is not just for children. Adults can take part in it as well and have just as much fun. You can be anyone you want in your imagination and you don’t even have to worry about making mistakes. The purpose of this activity is to inspire you to do more and to make plans that will help you achieve what you want. Step outside yourself and look inside. Who are you now? Do you have potential? You’ll soon realize that you actually do.
