7 Types of Laziness (and Their Cure)

1. Uncertainty:
"I’m unsure what to try."
The Cure: Start tiny. Take the first action and adjust as you go.
Mistakes are part of growth.

2. Doubt:
"I just can’t manage."
The Cure: Think back to moments when you pushed through fear.
Let those memories fuel you.

3. Limiting Beliefs:
"I might fail or seem dumb."
The Cure: Shift to a flexible mindset. Mistakes are lessons.
Progress comes with effort.

4. Exhaustion:
"I feel drained. No energy left."
The Cure: Begin with one small task.
Momentum builds energy. Action creates motivation.

5. Disinterest:
"Nothing really excites me."
The Cure: Reflect on what naturally sparks joy and connect it to your current goals.

6. Guilt:
"I'm past my prime. Too late."
The Cure: It's never too late to begin.
Each day is a new opportunity to grow.

7. Self-Image:
"I’m just not driven."
The Cure: Challenge that belief. Laziness is a pattern, not your identity.
You can change it.
