Why does the question arise, how to get rid of laziness and apathy? Because it is something shameful and condemned. Because it’s bad to be lazy. “Come on, get up and go to work! Do things! There’s Masha Vasya Petya studying, working, defending her doctorate, and you! Apathy? What are you thinking? You’re just lazy and that’s all! In my time... .".A familiar voice? I understand...But let's first define the terms. Apathy is a state characterized by a complete absence or a sharp decrease in aspirations and interests, suppressed emotions, as well as indifference to current events and people around. If you feel that for a long time and without If there is no obvious reason why you have no strength and no manifestation of feelings, then you need to look at what is happening to your body. Often, a hormonal imbalance can lead to low mood, a feeling of powerlessness and general depression. An endocrinologist and a detailed blood test for hormones will help you figure out if everything is in order. A small adjustment will significantly improve the situation. If everything is fine with the tests and within the normal range, then the next step is to go to a psychologist to identify the causes of your condition. Now let's look at laziness. This is the absence or lack of hard work, refusal to overcome difficulties, refusal to work. Do you agree that apathy and laziness are completely different concepts? Apathy is more about feelings, and laziness is about actions. Now I will surprise you. Laziness does not exist! Laziness is consequence. And often this is a symptom of fear. It’s scary that it won’t work out. I'm afraid of being judged. I'm scared that it won't work out the way I thought it would. I'm scared that I'll be the worst. I'm scared that I'll look stupid. It’s scary that MashaVasyaPetya is always better than me... Now I’ll put these things aside for a bit and do something else so as not to face my fear. The focus for studying and working with yourself is not laziness itself, but what lies behind it. Ask yourself the question “What exactly am I afraid of?” "?.
