Art Of Laziness – 10 Learnings

1. Recharge & Refocus

In a culture that glorifies constant busyness, it’s easy to overlook the importance of rest. Laziness can remind us to slow down and recharge our batteries.

By taking breaks and allowing ourselves time to rest, we will have an opportunity to recharge and continue our tasks with renewed energy and focus.

Sleep for 8 hours, not 6. Read for 2 hours, not 4. Exercise for 1 hour, not 4.
Deep work for 4 hours, not 10.

2. Question Productivity Paradigms

Having a busy schedule and trying to multitask all the time might be the reason for our drained energy and dissatisfaction. It feels as if we are always running on the treadmill, trying hard but getting nowhere.

Picture this: you are lying comfortably under the shade of a tree, sipping coffee, and just letting your mind wander. That is the laziness vibe. It is all about taking a break from the daily grind and being able to say, “No, this is not really giving me the fulfillment that I deserve”.

In the middle of all the buzz, laziness invites us to find the joy in the small things like hanging out with the family, or with friends. It is a kindly reminder to look for what makes us happy rather than clinging to the things that don’t.

Therefore, next time that you feel overwhelmed, why don’t you choose to be lazy, even for just a moment? Take a moment, stop, and confirm that you are engaged in activities and/or a life that brings joy to you and your heart.

3. Take Your Time to Enjoy Things

Being in life is like a race sometimes, but it’s okay to slow down and take your time to enjoy the best moments. It could be the delicious meal we eat, the conversation with friends, or just enjoying nature.

Whatever it is, slowing down allows us to appreciate it even more. We discover that when we focus our energies on the current moment we experience happiness and excitement.

4. Let Your Brain Relax to Get Creative

Being lazy isn’t always a negative thing, especially when it comes to being creative. It is known that when we don’t have too much to do, our brains can wander and discover new, unexpected ideas.

“The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind. If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth.” -Robert T. Kiyosaki”

That is why many of the best ideas emerge when you are not even thinking about them; they are already forming in the quiet corners of your mind. So, the next time you’re not in the mood for work, remember that your brain may be prepared for some big and mind-blowing ideas.

5. Take Breaks from Screens and Talk to Yourself

Nowadays, we are glued to screens all the time- phones, computers and TVs. Sometimes it gets on one’s nerves! Laziness means taking a break from all that and just thinking.

It’s almost as if I’ve hit the stop-time button for a moment. When we keep ourselves away from the negativity of social media, our minds become clear again, our brains are less stressed, and we feel more close to who we are.

“When a person can’t find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.”

Also, it provides us with a heightened level of awareness of the smallest detail in our surroundings such as the color of flowers or the sounds of birds. It gives us a psychological boost and makes us feel more in tune with the surrounding environment.

6. Listen to Your Body

We have a deep emotional connection with our body as if it is our closest friend. They tell us when they get tired. But, at some point, we simply pretend resting isn’t essential and focus only on our jobs and responsibilities. That is not good!

Laziness indicates that we need a break and that our bodies require more rest than physical activity. Sleep helps us feel better, both in our psychological selves and our physical bodies. It feels like we’re hugging ourselves but from the inside!

7. Nobody’s Perfect-And That’s Okay

It’s quite common for us to want to be perfect at everything.

But guess what? Nobody’s perfect! Laziness once again hits us on the head and says ‘It’s okay to make mistakes and not to be the best always’.

It is the acceptance of this that makes us feel light and happy. We become more kind and caring toward both ourselves and others.

8. Say No When You Need To

Sometimes, we accept negativity when in fact, we should actually refuse it. It is not beneficial for us! Laziness makes us say no when we need to.

It’s like putting up a fence to make sure we shield our time and energy. When we do this, we can spend more time on things we are attracted to and people who are dear to us.

9. Do What Makes You Happy, Not Just Busy

Usually, we assume when we’re busy that we’re on the right track. Yet, this is not always the case! Laziness teaches us to focus on what makes us happy, not just busy.

It’s like choosing quality over quantity. When we do things we enjoy, we feel accomplished and it puts a smile on our faces.

10. Relax and Enjoy Doing Nothing

In a society that is always hustling and bustling, taking a break looks weird. However, laziness teaches us that it’s fine to relax and unwind sometimes. It’s as if we were giving ourselves a green light to simply be ourselves.

When we do this, we feel calm and content. We are becoming more and more aware of the fact that life is not only about what we do but also about how happy we feel right now.
