how to exit your lazy era — level up, stay motivated and make 2024 your best year🕯️

Firstly why do we even get stuck in our lazy era?

no motivation

you just faced a major failure

not seeing the results you want after working for so long

a way of procrastinating

an easy way to put away all your important task aside

“It’s easy to not do anything in life. It doesn’t even require any effort whatsoever.”

How to overcome this?

Plan your days earlier

Honestly we often hear people giving all sort of tips and tricks to be productive, but the thing is nothing works unless you have a vision for how your day is going to look like. Didn’t they say this?

“Visualization is the key to manifestation.”

2. Start your day with a boost of motivation

This is coming from a personal experience of mine. The only way I overcome my morning sickness was actually by quickly hitting the play button of my favorite motivational podcast as soon as I switch off my alarm. Now it feels like an autopilot mode. For real, try it out.

“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” — Jim Ryun

3. Do what you love first thing first

Game-changer. It is one of the prime reason why I LOVE (not like) but LOVE getting up early after discovering the main hack of morning routine which is to do something that truly excites you to your very core.

It could be painting, reading, dancing, journaling, writing, singing, working out, walking, sitting outside sipping your favorite coffee, walking your dog, or literally not even doing anything. Whatever that soothes you, calms your soul and rejuvenates your being. BOOM! That’s exactly what you need to do as soon as you’re up.

For me personally, I love meditating, reading while sipping my coffee and just spending time with nature. The serenity and tranquility can’t be put into words to be honest!

“Slow morning is the recipe to my productivity for real.”

4. Sweating it out

Have you ever been in a situation (I'm sure we all have been in this one) where your body feels sluggish after lunch probably in the late noon? YES! It feels so horrible like you can’t keep your eyes open without consuming doses of caffeine.

Plus working from home is becoming a norm after the pandemic, therefore being stagnant is becoming more of a common trait that binds all of us together. Sitting still in front of your PC, sending emails through your handphone, recording content and et cetera.

This constant stagnation is actually preventing the daily movement our body needs to rejuvenate. Therefore, when we don’t get it that’s when the laziness kicks in. We do know the root problem right now and the root solution would be to move your body as often as you can.

Working out doesn’t need to fit into this standard practice social media has eluded us all by the frame of being in the gym. Honestly there’s more than that.

Hike

Run

Jog

Stroll

Swim

Sauna

As long as you are sweating, you’re good my friend.

5. Vision board

Vision board is one of the easiest, accessible and FUN thing you can do to get yourself out of the rut. I don’t think so we need to go all around again to get the gist of vision board but it would be incomplete if I don’t share this secret with you.

Make a physical and a digital board. The physical one plays a role to be sitting in a space where you spend most of your time at. For instance, your office, work-studio, hostel and et cetera.

And the digital one is as important as the physical one because most of the time we are indulged or I would say obliged to our gadjets these days. Therefore, by setting your vision board as your lock screen wallpaper is definitely going to give you the sense of awakening your mind needs whenever you feel you’re slacking off.

PS: Pinterest is a great tool you can start off with.

6. Use your bank balance as a source of motivation

This is such a good way to actually get you moving. It’s a source of trigger that makes you question yourself like:

How am I supposed to achieve all of my goals on the vision board if I am not taking any sort of action from my side?

That million-dollar home, vacation and experience is not going to come alive if you’re just sitting and wishing for it.

7. Read self help books

I am sure everybody who’s legit on 

Medium

 platform is an avid-reader. I am not going to speak about the power of books because you know it all. The key is just to pick the right books according to your current life’s situation.

The main gist today is to help you exit your lazy era. So here are some book recommendations from my side.

Atomic Habit by James Clear

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Man’s Search for Meaning Viktor E. Frankl

The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

The Miracle Equation by Hal Elrod

Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz

The Concise 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins

Think Like A Monk by Jay Shetty

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

Stillness is the key by Ryan Holiday

PS: What’s your favorite self-help book? Reply to this.

Stick till the very end because I am sharing with you the main HACK that nobody talks about.

8. Design your environment in a way that motivates you

We all have heard the phrase how your environment influences you. The least you could do is be conscious of how powerful your social circle is, the people whom you hangout with, the people whom you work with, the people you choose to have relationships with and the place you choose to live in.

It’s these little things that makes the most difference in your life at the end of the day.

9. Step out if that’s what you need

Honestly, a change of environment is what you need sometimes. Our body, out entire being recognizes when we are stuck in the same space for quite some time and this could be the #1 reason why you’ve been procrastinating. Probably you could do this:

Go to your favorite restaurant/café

Work from the library

Honestly choose a spot where you feel you could really maximize your potential and somewhere that actually motivates you to step up. Do better!

10. Allow yourself to be lazy at times

AHHHH! This is the magic pill I was speaking about. I realized nobody seems to tell you this but let’s be real. The only way to exit your lazy era is by giving yourself room to actually be lazy. You can’t expect yourself to transform overnight. You can’t expect to be productive 24/7. You can’t expect yourself to meet all the high standards you’ve set yourself up to.

And I want you to know this. It’s okay to be lazy sometimes. It’s okay to catch yourself not doing anything sometimes. But always remember this.

You shall only reward yourself to be lazy when you’ve absolutely fulfilled the promise you’ve made. The tasks you need to complete. The assignments you need to submit. The thesis you need to work on. The presentation you need to deliver.

Trust me if you implement all of the above habits, you would realize this:

“It’s the small changes in your daily life that you needed all along for your long-term success.”

El 1-2 canadiense en los 1.500 metros llanos

En los 1.500 metros llanos, una de las más atractivas pruebas del mediofondo, no había tanto misterio. El manejo táctico iba a prevalecer sobre cualquier otro factor y allí la experiencia de los canadienses fue decisiva. Un compacto grupo arribó a la última vuelta con posibilidades y prevalecieron los hombres que, por su fogueo en la alta competición, iban a manejarla mejor. Y en ese sentido los canadienses concretaron el 1-2 con Charles Philibert-Thiboutot y Robert Heppenstall. Los atletas sudamericanos estuvieron dentro de sus marcas. Thiboutot, a sus 32 años, viene de conseguir su mejor registro personal de 3:32.94 en la gira europea. Y tras haber logrado un bronce panamericano en Toronto 2015 (y la medalla de plata de 5.000, esta semana) ahora ganó en 3:39.74, aventajando por dos centésimas a su compatriota Heppenstall, con bronce para el estadounidense Casey Comber (3:39.90), pese a su tremendo esfurezo final. Cuarto quedó el puertorriqueño Robert Napoitano con 3:40.12 y quinto el estadounidense Kasey Knevelbaard (3:40.31), quien venía de ganar los 1.500. El ex campeón sudamericano Thiago do Rosario André –casi inactivo este año- retornó a la competición y ocupó el 6° lugar con 3:40.48, delante de los argentinos Diego Lacamoire (3:40.67) y José Zabala (3:41.49). HISTORIAL DE LOS 1.500 METROS EN LOS JUEGOS PANAMERICANOS Dos países ejercieron un neto dominio en la historia de los 1.500 de los Juegos: Estados Unidos y Brasil (8 y 7 títulos respectivamente). Y ese historial incluye la participación de figuras de primer nivel mundial, como el caso de Marty Liquori -campeón de 1971- quien era uno de los grandes rivales del legendario Jim Ryun en esa época. Brasil contó con los únicos dos mediofondistas que lograron dos veces el título de 1.500 en los Pan: Joaquim Carvalho Cruz (además campeón olímpico de 800) y Hudson Santos de Souza. Cruz logró su primer 1.500 en Indianápolis 87 delante de cotizados rivales como James Spivey y Steve Scott. Y volvió al cetro en Mar del Plata 95 cuando, recuperándose de varias temporadas de ausencia por lesiones, consiguió la última de sus coronas importantes. Hudson, quien ya había obtenido una medalla de bronce en su aparición en 1999, se proclamó campeón en dos oportunidades consecutivas: 2003 y 2007. Ahora Philibert-Thiboutot se convirtió en el segundo canadiense con oro panamericano en 1.500.  El anterior fue Graham Hood en Winnipeg 1999 con 3:41.20. Read the full article

Good morning! “Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” - Jim Ryun

When we want to change, we have to have the motivation to change. But then we have to do something to make that change more consistent and turn it into a habit. A habit is something we don't have to think about we just do it. I think that is why change can be hard. We are stuck in old habits that don't serve us well any longer but we just keep doing them. So when we are changing things we have to 'unlearn' and old habit and start something new. I wish you luck in finding new things that help you to change. I hope each of you has a good day.
