How to overcome the laziness in 2023

 Laziness

In this post you will know what is laziness?, why it arises? and how to eliminate it? I will try to explain to you the answers of these three questions with a small story. Once a lazy man asked a Buddhist monk. I am very lazy because of which I am not able to do whatever I want to do. What shall I do. Buddhist monks ask that person. Are you sure that you are lazy, that person says yes, And it's not only me but also everyone in my village knows that I am lazy, Buddhist monks ask that person. But do you have any proof of this, the person says yes, the Buddhist monks ask. and what is that.

 

Buddhist monks say to that person but do you know what is laziness, that person says. I don't know what is laziness means But whatever it is very bad. Buddhist monks say. First of all, understand that whatever is naturally within man, it has some use or the other. And is not good or bad. Laziness is a feeling, a thought which we create by ourselves unknowingly.

What are the main causes of laziness?

That person asks. but how? Buddhist monk says. There are two reasons for laziness. First physical and second mental. When we eat food in which there is no vitality(energy), than laziness arises inside our body. Because this body runs on energy and it behave the way you give energy to it.

At the level of the body, there is another reason for laziness within us. sitting incorrectly, walking the wrong way, and sleeping the wrong way. We never pay attention to whether our sitting, lying and sleeping position is correct or not.

If you look at the  Buddha, you will find that whenever he sits, his spine is straight. When Buddha lies down, there is no pressure on any part of his body. Whenever he walk, there is a synergy between the legs in their walk, so it is not necessary that one understands anything just by listening to Buddha. If someone wants to understand, then a lot can be understood by looking at Buddha. There is a third reason for Laziness at the physical level. that is  not getting up early.

How to remove laziness in morning?

that person says. I can't even get up early in the morning. Buddhist monks says. You can get up early in the morning. When you will determine a right time to sleep at night. Every Buddhist monk has to follow discipline. Because discipline brings balance in our life. Most people think of discipline as bad because they think that discipline binds us. But the truth is that discipline does not bind us but liberates us. That person asks, but where to start. By eating the right kind of food, sitting, lying down and walking in the right way or by getting up early in the morning, Buddhist monks say.

Start from now Whatever you are doing at this time, do it carefully. Understand laziness at the level of the mind. By the way, in most situations, the mind creates laziness because of the body itself.

How to avoid laziness and procrastination?

The first mental reason for laziness is our old misconception that we could not do it even last time. so this time also won't be able to, We do not see that there is much difference between this time and last time. We are no longer what we were before. Now everything has changed.

When we don't consider ourselves worthy. Then laziness takes over us. The second reason is the association of the lazy peoples. Sometimes it happens that laziness is not within us. But from other people we gets it. It's because we associate lazy people.

The third reason is No clarity of mind. Suppose you are lost in a forest and evening is about to come. You don't know in which direction your house is. Will you lie down in such a situation in the forest, or will you go out in search of your home? that person says. I'll go looking for a house.

How to get over laziness?

Buddhist monks ask that person and what will you do if you do not find your way home even after many efforts, that person says. I will still keep looking because. I will have no other option than that. Buddhist monk say Laziness catches the mind of man only when he has many options. If one has only one option then his mind will be completely clear.

If you are not able to exercise now, it is because of your poor vision. You cannot see the diseases that will happen in the future. you can't see the pain 

How can I stop laziness and sleepiness?

Buddhist monks say. The fourth  mental reason is Assume there is no reason to do something. suppose You are going somewhere on a path, you are tired of walking for a long time, you do not feel like walking ahead. You are too lazy to walk. Suddenly you see, a lion is moving towards you. Will you or your laziness be able to stop you from running away in such a situation? 

Laziness quotes 

The person thanks the Buddhist monk and says now I understand the whole game. The Buddhist monks say. where there is clarity or there is a great reason to do something, there cannot be laziness.
