When we label ourselves or others as lazy, are we really doing ourselves justice, or is there more to that simple and overused term? What can we learn about simple laziness to defeat it and perhaps set ourselves up for success? Laziness is not so much of a cause as it is a symptom of emotional or organizational issues that are present within our mindsets. It’s helpful to view these shortcomings as a series of cause-and-effect actions, because the reasons that we are not acting and not exercising self-discipline are more complex than you might realize. We’re not lazy; we have many psychological barriers that keep us firmly rooted in place. Take it easy on yourself, because nothing is as simple as “I don’t want to do it, so I won’t!”
