Before diving straightaway into looking for all sorts of essay help online, here are four major types of essays every student should know about. It is easy to get confused with the immense number of topics in essay books.

1. Prioritization

2. Punctuality

3. No cheating

4. Concentrate

5. Refraining from unnecessary comparisons

6. Improvement in progression

7. Curiosity and excitement

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.

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.

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.

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.

“The Desire for a more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, Paradoxically, The acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience”

- Mark Manson

Life is a balance of positives and negatives every day. You feel happy, that’s great. You feel bad, it’s fine. Let it cool down. The balance breaks when you start expecting too much positivity.

It breaks completely when you are not ready to accept negative experiences. You need positives to inspire. You need negatives to grow. But, if you expect everything to be positive around you, it can disappoint you easily. A lot of expectations can go sideways.

Positive experiences in life are a morale boost. There is no place for second thoughts about it. It gives you the confidence to move forward. But, is it good to look for it every time? If you ask me, the answer would be No.

if I keep looking only for positive experiences in life I could lose focus on the reality that’s in my hands. To take life as it comes will become difficult. The mind only desires what you expected. It will not be ready to expect and accept the unexpected.

On the other hand, with every negative experience in life, I learn a lesson. I get a piece of reality. Understanding what went wrong and what could have been better will be easy. To grow forward will be smoother and wiser.

Take both positive and negative experiences in life. Build yourself with it. Life’s a balance that holds both good and bad equally. Taking them both and growing is the best thing to do. This quote is a piece of reality we need to keep reminding ourselves.

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.

“Do what you can with all you have, wherever you are”

- Theodore Roosevelt

How do we take on life? You do it by taking your first step. That is how every success journey we heard so far took place. It all begins with a first step.

Always, do what you can and do it with all you have. Even if there’s nothing left for you, you have your will. It’s an indestructible asset for you. With the will you have, confidently take your first step towards your goals.

Don't look for a perfect stage to begin your journey. You have to start where you are. Possibilities and opportunities will not wait for you till you feel like you are where you want to be.

So, start where you are in life right now. It’s doesn't matter if you are struggling, or growing or successful. If you have to do something in life, do it from where you are. With every step you take, the success becomes closer and closer. If you can do it, then do it with all your efforts, hard work, time and energy.

We heard people saying that they are waiting for the right time. Sometimes, you can’t wait that long. You have to begin now. Achievers around us are good examples. They don’t wait for the right time. They don’t mind where they are in life. They simply do what they can with what they have. Eventually, it takes them places.

“Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today”

- Will Rogers

Let’s be honest here. The past does take up too much of our time. We can’t help it. It will take some time for us to emotionally break the wall of the past and walk forward.

You cannot just come out. It’s not the right way too. You need time. Take that time. Process it. Learn from it. But to heal from it, you need to get up. Don’t stay in the ‘yesterday’ longer.

It only takes too much of your time and energy. The result will always be unproductive. We all have experienced it. Yet, we still keep doing it.

Putting our thoughts and energy to what happened in the past will wear us down physically and emotionally. But, if you look today, it’s a new start to do things better than yesterday.

Every day when you wake up, you get a chance to make things right. You can make the ‘past’ heal better by taking ‘present’ in your hands and making it happy.

Every little thing you do today can impact your happiness for tomorrow. Remind yourself that, when you look down the past, it yields no good for you and you know it.

So, start giving importance to your present. Only take the lessons from the past. Start concentrating on 'Today'. It will be easy for you to work things out with your life. Instead, don't keep spending too much of your time on 'yesterday'.

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.

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.
