Laziness is a form of procrastination.

I'm very familiar with the habit of laziness, as I used to be a very lazy person. I skipped school a lot when I was a teenager because I was addicted to video games. As a result, I had zero motivation. I was merely looking for a life of comfort. Comfort is the enemy of a great life. As long as you're comfortable, you're not growing. 

The good news is that laziness can be replaced by productivity. It comes down to the desire to shift your mindset and commit to adopting new and healthy ways of behaving. Today, I am the opposite of lazy. Taking action is what allows you to make progress in life, rather than just sitting around all day being lazy.

How do you feel when you aren't doing the things that you know you should be doing? I'm going to assume that your self-confidence plummets because you feel guilty.

Without adequate self-confidence, you won't believe that you're capable of doing something successfully. This inner conflict is what creates confusion and inaction for a lot of people. Here are 3 simple steps for how to STOP being lazy and start taking massive action.

1. Have A Vision That Excites You

Do you have a personal vision for your life? If not, now is the time to create one. Having a solid vision that motivates you to wake up every morning is what gives your life direction. If you don't have a “why” you will be more inclined to fall into a laziness trap because you will feel uninspired.

You've got to associate so much pleasure towards your vision that you are pulled towards it naturally. Research shows that envisioning your best possible future will boost your positive emotions, happiness levels, and willl improve your coping skills. When you have a strong enough why, the how will take care of itself. In this state, procrastination will no longer be a part of your vocabulary.

2. Understand how pain and pleasure work

The reason why you are lazy is that you associate doing the things that you know you should do as painful and uncomfortable. In effect, you are associating pleasure towards the things you are doing to distract yourself. You've got to link and associate to the pain of not doing what you know you should do, so much so that you hit an emotional threshold.

If you are struggling with laziness right now, what is the consequence of not taking action? As an example, if it's exercising, imagine what will happen if you don't make health a priority. Feel the pull of wanting to be fit so that you don't have to feel the pain of sickness.

Secondly, what has not taking action already cost you in the past? Take a look at all the things you've missed out on as a result of being lazy. Don't settle for a life of mediocrity because you deserve great things. Laziness is costing you too much.

Lastly, what pleasure will you receive by taking action and being productive? Your self-esteem will most likely go up. When you do the things that you know you should do, naturally you will feel good about yourself. The better that you feel, the more pleasure that you will associate to an experience, and the more likely that you will take action.

3. Find an accountability buddy

There will be times when you won't feel like being productive. However, that's where you need the most help. Most people move throughout their lives not asking for help. Rather, they brave it on their own. I don't know anyone who has become successful on their own. 

They've all been in close proximity with others who hold them to a higher standard, whether that's in the form of coaches, mentors or accountability groups. The quality of your life is in direct proportion to the expectations of your peers. Find an accountability buddy or join a Facebook group, like my Project Life Mastery Global Facebook community!

We've got thousands of people from all over the world that come together to support one another. Find someone who you is motivated and ready to make a change in their life. Call one another and share 3 things that each of you is committed to doing in a given day.

If you break your commitment, have a consequence for doing so. Maybe that means donating $10 to a charity. Conversely, if one or both of you follow through with your commitments, make an effort to reward one another. What gets rewarded, gets repeated.

This is how to STOP being lazy once and for all.

If laziness is sabotaging your goals and dreams in life, it is time to break the cycle. Take back control of your life by following the simple steps that I outlined above. Commit to building new patterns and rituals that motivate you to take action.

All that matters is that you make progress. If you have a setback, don't beat yourself up. Every day is a new day to start fresh. Are you ready to become more productive?
