Laziness comes to the best of us. Some people procrastinate, some just don’t move and some don’t do hardly anything with their lives. Laziness reflects our self-esteem, our positive recognition, confidence and our interest in certain activities. 

We were built to move and to progress through life. Laziness is the mother of bad habits. Your future is created in the present moment of today, not yesterday. Remember, don’t get worked up too much or you’ll have a mental breakdown. It’s not worth the anger or stress to worry about for a simple task. Control only what you can, let go of things and focus on your main goals that you set up for yourself. Every day, try to find your inner strength of your well being so that the world will not take away your patience on things.

Whatever you resist you become. We think that we resist certain states, because they are there, but actually they are there because we resist them. Laziness is a habit rather than a mental health issue, according to Wikipedia. Throughout this article, I will give you five tips on how to reduce laziness.
