Reasons for laziness
Many psychologists believe that laziness is beneficial in some ways. Yes, it significantly helps to relax the entire body. However, it also leads to a decline in the success of any person. In addition, laziness often develops into an apathetic state. There are many reasons for laziness. Let's list the main ones.
- Studies of different groups of people using MRI have shown that there are significant differences between all people. Some were distinguished by their thirst for action, while others, on the contrary, never aspired to do anything. The reason for this lies in a certain area of the premotor zone of the cerebral hemispheres. This section does not work the same for everyone. And this suggests that the reason for laziness lies more in the biological nature of a person than in the social one. These factors are indicated by the neurobiological mechanisms of laziness.
- The instinct of self-preservation malfunctions and turns into a self-destructive mechanism. It consists of procrastination (the desire to put things on the back burner). The mechanism of action is simple: when a person gets tired, the above option works. This is how the body protects itself from negative consequences.
- Forcing yourself to do something is applying an effort on yourself. The weak-minded people often lack volitional efforts to do a certain job. Therefore, willpower needs to be educated. This is done when the adult was not initially accustomed to work.
You need to understand that laziness is a manifestation of personality traits. For example, perfectionists tend to be lazy because they are used to doing things with perfect precision. Therefore, people with such character traits always have a question whether to complete the task flawlessly or not to complete it at all. As a result, the person does nothing and falls into a lazy state.
Low self-esteem also affects the manifestation of human laziness. If an individual claims that he cannot cope with this task, then he tries not to do anything. He just walks away from negative consequences.

Lack of discipline can be another reason. In this case, techniques such as time management will help. The most negative kind of laziness is intellectual laziness. Activity here is replaced by contemplation of the surrounding world. A person tells himself that he is bored and not interested in doing anything. For example, a student often drops out of university due to academic frustration.
Such laziness is unusual for children. They are sincerely interested in everything that happens around them. And yet, laziness in a child can arise for the following reasons.
- Due to the peculiarities of temperament. Sometimes a child simply cannot bring himself to learn.
- Because of excessive guardianship parents over the child.
- Out of boredom... If an agile child is forced to sit and draw, he may experience a fit of laziness. And if you offer him to complete the same task in a playful way, then he will cease to be lazy and will complete it with pleasure.
- Due to misunderstanding and disinterest to one or another business that is offered at school. Some children sincerely do not understand why they need to learn. Therefore, they need to be interested and involved in the learning process.
- Just like adults, children can suffer too from fear of failure, because of this, and are lazy.
This is why it must be said that laziness is not a phenomenon. Vice versa, laziness is a symptomatology that speaks of certain notes that indicate a disorder in the behavior of an individual. And there can be a large number of reasons for the occurrence of such a negative factor. They are social or physiological in nature.

Correct goal setting
The most crucial moment. Learning will always be a joy if you know what you are learning for.... There should be a certain interest in this matter, as well as your and only your desire. During training, a person is simply obliged to know his future actions and the ultimate goal.
Many older students set themselves the goal of going to a certain university to continue their studies. And it is right. After some observation, psychologists and teachers of disciplines concluded that students who set the goal of getting an excellent certificate usually achieve it.Then they enter prestigious educational institutions. Other schoolchildren who are less interested in learning do not show interest in knowledge and, as a rule, do not set any goals. They just go with the flow. The result is disastrous. Many of them, having received a certificate, get a job and no longer have the opportunity to study.
Students, too, should initially set a goal of excellence. She is needed in order to receive a scholarship. So their first goal is these are material incentives.
In addition, excellent or good studies subsequently give a guarantee of a quick placement for a prestigious job. That is why you need to see the end result of learning activities.

Finding motivation
Motivation is needed in all matters. State the reason why you need to study such a large amount of educational material... Play with yourself and turn boring school into an entertaining game. If you need to study the activities of a historical character, then imagine yourself in his place and use your imagination. If motivation disappears from time to time, then add willpower to the learning process. Small rewards of yourself will help to overcome laziness. Treat yourself to a sweet treat for the material learned on time.
To defeat laziness, you need to remove distractions while studying. Therefore, turn off all gadgets and place yourself in a room where nothing can distract you. And the most important motivation should be your desire to gain knowledge that will help you navigate in life and become a successful person.
Arrangement of the workplace
This important point should not be overlooked. You must love the place where you spend your time studying. This will help overcome laziness and blues. So, let's begin.
- The table at which you will study must be wide and large enoughso that you can easily place textbooks and notes on it.
- The chair you will sit on while studying should be very comfortable. For those who like special comfort, you can install a special massage stand under your feet. This will allow you to periodically relax while studying the material.
- Good lighting - another important point.
- There should be furniture nearby for storing things, directly related to your studies.
However, it must be said that a person who is motivated and strives to study only because he really wants to achieve certain results will be able to study anywhere. If only they did not interfere with him.

Developing willpower
A very important point. Without self-discipline, you can never achieve great results. Therefore, it needs to be developed, and this is not even discussed. Imagine willpower is a muscle. If not used, it will cease to function and atrophy. So, you need to start with a small effort so as not to lose interest.
For starters, force yourself to get up early in the morning at the same time and do a variety of physical activities.Unaccustomed, it will be difficult to do, but that’s what training is for, in order to gradually improve. As mentioned above, you need to plan your time by the clock and act strictly according to this plan. Even on Sunday, you cannot give yourself indulgences and do all sorts of unnecessary trifles (watching TV shows, social networks). If you have planned to complete any task, then be sure to complete it.
remember, that if you made a promise to yourself, then do not betray yourself and implement your plan. This is the main condition for training willpower. Try not to "jam" all your efforts with different fast foods.
Especially those who are overweight should not eat harmful food. Better learn how to cook delicious and healthy food. Various practices in the form of meditation will only enhance the effect.

Reward for success
This point is necessary so that you have an incentive to improve. However, know that a self-disciplined person does not need various rewards. He already knows perfectly well what he needs to do, and goes to the goal.
Keep in mind that you can only reward yourself at the beginning of your workout. However, do not forget that various incentives only take away precious time and nullify all efforts to develop willpower.
If you cannot do without incentives, then at least try to combine the useful with the pleasant. To do this, sign up for fitness. You can try to choose another, no less useful direction. For example, visit a whole body relaxation center. These incentives will help you keep your emotional state on track and look very presentable.

Recommendations
They will help you to accomplish your plans and will not let you stop there. So what to do first.
- The passed material is partially forgotten. So try to repeat it daily. For example, break it down into specific parts and reread the topic under study one by one. Take notes in the margins and state the essence of the information. Then, if you remember well what is being said in this or that text, you do not need to reread the text.
- Make the most of your time at school. Do not be distracted at lectures by calls and SMS. Just listen carefully to the teacher, delve into new material and write down the essence of what the lecturer is talking about. Believe me, you don't even have to memorize anything later.
- One of the most important conditions for a good study is rest. It can be different. However, know that good sleep is the best recipe. A person who has rested in this way is able to assimilate much more information. Tip: Try to sleep at the same time. This will make it easier for you to fall asleep and wake up quickly.
- Know how to say no to yourself and your friends. When you are invited to take a walk, think about your studies. Put off going to the movies until better times, and today deal with more pressing problems. This will help you keep your self-discipline in shape, do a good job, and earn a scholarship.
Remember, there are many opportunities when you are young. They must not be missed. You want to have fun and walk at any age, but it is better to study when you are still young.
