We both know how hard it is to deal with a lazy co-worker or a lazy person in general. To get things done from them could rock our tolerance to the core. We will be torn between ‘whether to leave them out’ or ‘to make them work’. Visible truth is, dealing with a lazy person is kind of a mixed bag. It ‘can be’ possible and we ‘can make it’ possible. At the same time, it really could be impossible. There’s nothing much left for us to do.

1. Could be Personal problems

2. Met with Unreachable targets

3. Struggling with some part of the job/work they have

4. If it’s too easy, People become lazy

5. If people are not-valued

6. If there’s a Lack & Difficulty

7. Too much time on Hand

8. Not enough self-esteem, Self-Efficacy

9. No sufficient moral support

10. Monotonous/Same tone of work

11. Failure of Rejection

12. Lack of Interest

13. Procrastination Habit

14. If they don’t know what to do

15. The Attitude of ‘Why Bother’

16. They are just lazy.

Two things become clear here. There are people who are lazy. There are people who need some extra push to stay away from laziness.

I hope that the possible reasons we shared here would be relatable to us every day.

Despite different factors, we still can give some push to motivate lazy persons in life.

1. Fitness with your Friends:

Opt for Group Fitness classes. It is fun and you will always look forward to it. You will not get bored. Try it out. Fitness with friends is fun and motivating too.

2. Try Exercise Mix-ups:

You might feel bored and not motivated to exercise if you keep doing the same routine. Mix it up a little bit. For instance, go for an early morning walk. The next day, do yoga. Plan weekly twice or thrice for fun routines like Zumba or other dance fitness programs. Depending upon your convenience, time and ability, mix exercises a little bit to keep going.

3. Knowing Visible Difference:

Get to know people experiencing visible differences due to their exercise routines. Look how fit people find it easy to follow a healthy lifestyle overall. It should motivate you to start exercising. It will at least motivate you to try a simple fitness routine i.e. to start with healthy food choices.

4. Exercising is ‘Self-Care’:

Everything that augments and improves you, on the whole, is a form of self-care. Exercising is one such best way of self-care. Take care of your body as well as you can. It’s the one constant thing that comes with you all along.

The reality here is life always caught us off-guard. It throws unexpected twists and turns in every turn-over. It becomes difficult to anticipate what’s going to happen. Which is why we tend to learn lessons late.

Furthermore, there are reasons and lessons we learn from the people around us too. The dos and don’ts of life can be learned easily from someone who’s going astray. You don’t need a separate lesson here. Constructive life lessons can be learned early. But, practical and self-realizing life lessons are often too late when we learn. That’s how you make yourself stronger. What’s important is that we should learn our life lessons. It doesn’t matter if it’s late.

1. You need to Live and Let Live

I got my life to battle. You got your own life to battle. It’s an everyday event. Let it be as such. Live and let live.

2. Take the next small step that you can

It’s a life lesson that’s right in front of us but we learn it late. Been through so much in life? Don’t know what to do? Take the next step that you can. Calling your friend, eating your favorite food, going out for a walk, stepping out, working out and everything is a small step. Take it! And, with the small steps slowly walk.

3. Realizing the importance of people around you

You and I often tend to forget how important the people around us are. They make our life run smoother every day. Your friends and family take care of you. It’s neither money nor anything else. Let’s start realizing how important they are to us. Let’s appreciate little things people do for us. It’s right in front of us. We have to see it sooner and cherish it.

4. Regrets and Guilt’s are blocking you

It becomes hard to see the right thing when you are filled with guilt and regret. They both hinder your emotional wellness. Take care of it. Move past your life’s regrets and guilt’s but don’t forget the lessons it gave. Come out of your regrets and guilts as soon as you can.

5. Little things you do impact your tomorrow

Including healthy food choices, little things you do today has a big impact on your tomorrow. Starting your exercises today impacts a healthier tomorrow. Saving a little amount of money can help tomorrow. Little things you start today in faith will help you tomorrow.

1. Being Preoccupied With Work ... At the point when You're Not at Work

Despite the fact that you probably won't be working at a given minute, on the off chance that you're consuming mental energy thinking about your activity, at that point, your work is preventing your ability to heal from the stresses of your day. In order to improve, you need time to yourself after the actual duty stops and time when you stop thinking about that job altogether.

2. For the most part, Decreased Satisfaction

This is the capacity to feel less cheerful and satisfied with your profession and with your home life. You might feel disappointed or even held when it comes to whatever is going on at home, in society or with your social activities.

3. Health Problems

Over a long period of time, serious constant stress can produce real health difficulties like digestive issues, heart disease, depression, and obesity.

1. Under-Estimating

By under-estimating tasks or anything in case of your personal as well as professional life, you bring in lethargy and careless mind-set. It is one of the major reasons for people procrastinating. Under-estimating habits lead to procrastinating things. It gives the individual a feeling of less-importance. As a result, postponing and ignoring starts to happen.

2. Over-Estimating

Likewise, over-estimating habit makes people procrastinate. It quickly brings disinterest. It leads to a feeling of disconnect with the concerned project/work.

3. Poor Time-Management

It leads to procrastination especially with students and young professionals starting with their careers.

4. Unclear about What to Do

While going through this phase where we don't know what to do, we procrastinate. It happens to everyone at some point in life. It applies to your career, personal life, business, studies, etc.

Particularly concerning young people and professionals, 'unclear about what to do' can happen often. To cope with that, people tend to procrastinate.

5. Lack of Interest

With no interest or decreased-interest, people start to procrastinate.

6. Not Motivated

If people start to feel that if the work they do no longer motivates them, they start to procrastinate.

7. Cannot see where this task is headed

People start to procrastinate if they don't see where the work is headed. Similarly, if the work is not beneficial to them they start to ignore it.

8. Voluntarily Delaying

It's the most common reflection of procrastination. People knew that the work has to be done. Instead, they focus on other things. If people show voluntary-delay in their activities it eventually means they are procrastinating for some reason.

Have a good work-life balance

A good work-life balance is one of the most important aspects of being successful but it is often taken for granted. A good work-life balance gives you an overall sense of well being and peace. A good work-life balance means you can manage both your personal and professional life without neglecting any one of them.

Be passionate about your project

When you are passionate about what you do, everything will feel like a hobby. Entrepreneurs who are extremely passionate about their work are more likely to succeed. Being passionate about your work gives you the much-needed energy to overcome obstacles and put your best foot forward.

Keep learning

Finally, you must keep learning. Being a creative entrepreneur is a process that never really ends. You must keep learning new techniques and strategies to grow in your respective field. You can attend seminars, courses, videos, read books or attend entrepreneurial conferences to gain more knowledge about your field.

I believe any reasonable person would agree that most of us neglect to put our own needs first. The vast majority go through their day taking care of their families, their professions, companions and all the time outsiders, leaving next to no time for themselves.

Truly, putting yourself isn't constantly possible or even ideal, however, setting your prosperity or wants route down or even keep going on your list of desires will never permit you to appreciate a satisfying life.

Well, fortunately, it’s never too late to make positive adjustments to your life. In the event that you truly need to begin focusing on yourself, here are 12 assignments that you truly need to begin accomplishing for yourself today.

1. Start believing in yourself and your capacity to succeed.

2. Permit your emotions to flow through you.

3. Be happy for others.

4. End toxic relationships.

5. Create a vision for your life.

6. Start being honest with yourself

7. Go after your dreams.

8. Smile more.

9. Slow down.

10. Get happy with being you.

11. Create routines.

12. Perform Meditation daily.

1. Start believing in yourself and your capacity to succeed.

When it comes to success, nothing is more significant and powerful than self-confidence and belief in oneself. In fact, if we want to be successful, self-belief is more significant than intelligence, talent, background, or just about anything else.

2. Permit your emotions to flow through you.

At the point when a solid negative feeling begins, watch the feeling in your body without judgment, realizing it will pass - instead of nourishing it with stories in your mind or putting away it somewhere down in your heart.

3. Be happy for others.

Sometimes it can be hard to be happy for others, but defeating those jealous tendencies can lead to significant changes in your professional or social life, as well as your emotional wellbeing.  

4. Slow down.

A slower-paced life means making time to enjoy your mornings, rather than rushing off to work in an excitement. It means taking time to appreciate whatever you are doing, to enjoy the outside, to actually focus on whomever you are talking to or spending time with — instead of always being attached to a phone or laptop, instead of always thinking about work tasks and emails. 

1. Create a vision for your life.

By creating a life vision you can determine what the end objective or destination.

1. Find the ‘One Thing’ that motivates you:

It can be your family, Kids, promotion, business, etc. It varies from each one of us.

For example: For Artists, to put their artwork in a particular art-museum could be the ‘One Thing’ that motivates them. To Parents, their Kid’s education could be that ‘One Thing’. For Travellers, there could be one specific place in the world. Everyone will have that one specific thing. It drives and motivates them. Find that ‘One thing’.

Self motivations take many forms. One such exceptional way of self-motivation is having self-respect. It’s an essential life requirement. People go astray in crossing the line of self-respect often leading the way to arrogance. Respect yourself. At the same time, be watchful in never crossing the line to arrogance.

1. Don’t Spread Hatred:

Maintain a boundary when it comes to social media. It’s what the people take as a stage to spread all things negative these days. It impacts and influences many people adversely. Don’t be the person spreading hatred in it. “Stop Spreading Negativity”, this is an excellent form of self-motivation you need in life.

Be the person who doesn’t spread negativity in any way. It can be in any way like demotivating people, bad-mouthing or gossiping, spreading rumors, wishing to people bad things, criticizing, putting them in embarrassing situations, being irresponsible, etc. Don’t spread hatred. It makes you a highly motivated individual that people look up to.

2. Retrospection:

To retrospect, yourself is a great way to stay motivated to your own self. Retrospection paves way for understanding your good and bad qualities, past mistakes, past successes & failures, and personal improvement.

Retrospection triggers happy memories in the brain especially when it is about childhood or other happy times you had. Retrospect yourself. It is essential to keep yourself driven and motivated.

3. Take Breaks:

We need short breaks to refresh and rejuvenate ourselves. Take short breaks while you are working in the office. Same way, take a short break and spend it for family amidst all other busy things in life.

Taking short breaks whenever possible helps to stay motivated in their life. We can see many people who do things they like by taking short breaks from their careers even.

4. Follow you Passion:

There’s no better Self-Motivation than following your passion. The things you are passionate about bring a high level of self-motivation.

Follow your passion at some point in life. The idea you are passionate about can bring all the motivation you need.

1. See “What is being said” & not “Who is saying it”:

Often people ignore things being said for the sake of not liking the particular person. Don’t be. Listen to what is being said. If it’s good, then you have to take it. If it is bad, ignore it. But, don’t let go of things just for the sake of your ego towards the person.

2. Have Courage & Confidence

tow attributes that you need to improve your life is having courage and confidence. Be confident and have courage in yourself.

3. “Forgiveness is the Attribute of the Strong”- MK Gandhi

Remember this wonderful inspiring quote. Forgive at least for the sake of your peace-of-mind. Be selfish in forgiving which leads to a calm mind and heart. Forgiveness tremendously improves one’s life.

4. Don’t be a Difficult Person to others

Life’s short. Be good to as many people as you can. Be the person who everyone would be happy to see. If not, at least be the person who doesn’t disturb others or make things difficult for others. Be a happy person to yourself and to others. It’s an easy way to improve your life.

5. Laugh Often

We use to hear about ‘Laughter is the best medicine’. It works even today. Laugh often. Laughter relieves stress immediately. It keeps you happy. A good joke or a simple one-liner can lighten your mood instantly. Laugh often. Personal pick among the ’50 ways to improve your life’ would be “Laugh Often. Smile Often”.

1. Mental Wellness

Nurture your soul and mind with good things. First, accept your situation to overcome it. Holding on to any form of guilt or regret is not good. Stop looking for validation and approval from others. Be good to your mind.

Make it a happy place devoid of negative thoughts and emotions. Things that no longer make you happy and inspired should be taken out of your life. It’s easier than said, but you need to take care of your mental health. Mental wellness is the key to leading an improved life.

2. Good Sleeping Habit

Good sleep guarantees good productivity. Follow a good sleep cycle (around min.5Hrs - Max. 7 1/2-8Hrs) and make it regular in your life. Good sleep enhances your mental state.

3. Follow Healthy Eating

Healthy eating is another way of improving your life apart from other emotional level attributes and variables. Make healthy eating a way of life.

4. Present yourself well

Take simple steps in taking care of your body language, how you speak and how you look. Present yourself in a good manner not for others but for yourself.

5. Life is Uncertain. You need to bring this Acceptance

Things don’t go the way you plan and that’s what makes life interesting. Ups and downs are part of everyone’s life. Bring the acceptance. Take life one day at a time.

6. Time has the ability to Heal & Solve

Time heals. Things you felt hurting will seem less-important after a few months or years. Giving time has solved many troubles, difficulties and bad things in life.

Without a doubt, Intrinsic Motivation is the better one. The ones who are genuinely motivated have succeeded compared with others.

1. On the other hand, extrinsic motivation is not always bad. Reward programs, financial perks could help people do the work with even more enthusiasm.

2. One type of extrinsic motivation that we saw earlier is ‘Integrated Motivation.’ It could be an alternative when an intrinsic motivation fails or not possible.

3. To obtain the best results, sometimes external motivations could work.

4. For a long successful run, you need a self-encouraging intrinsic motivation.

5. When intrinsic motivation didn’t work out, you can still make people going by giving them the right reasons. The point is, with a little help, extrinsic motivation can also get work done for you here.

At last, you are the better judge of yourself. You know what works for you and whatnot.

I am sure that the types of motivation we discussed here will benefit you. It will help you identify the motivation scale that’s around us.

On that note,

Any type of Motivation should end up benefitting you and your values. That’s the core of how motivation works. If it’s not beneficial, not positive, and ethical, it’s better to step away from those motivating factors. Don’t matter if they are intrinsic or extrinsic. Sometimes, combining intrinsic and extrinsic could yield better results for you. In the end, you are the perfect judge.
