HOW TO EXIT YOUR “LAZY ERA”
routines and healthy habits
Are you feeling stuck, lazy, tired and unmotivated ??
I got you. Because I’ve been there too. I struggled so much to get off my phone, be productive and something that my future self will thank me for…
It was my lazy girl era. An era that at one point had to come to an END.
Don’t get me wrong! Sometimes being lazy can actually be a really good thing. Sometimes doing absolutely nothing is exactly what we need because we have to rest and recharge. But doing absolutely nothing for more days or for a really really long time without feeling rested or recharged… well, that’s the feeling when you feel lazy and unproductive. And you actually want to get things done but it just doesn’t happen and you just feel guilty and bad about yourself.
The key to break free from the Lazy Era is to meet changing habits and changing routines. And I’m not talking about changing your whole entire life from one day to another. It’s about focusing on small sustainable changes that you can stick to in the long run.
For example, instead of scrolling on your phone first thing in the morning, you can start implementing a strong healthy morning routine that sets you up for success: you can start with making your bed, spend a few minutes cleaning your room or move your body with a workout, a run, pilates ecc… and even if it is just 20 minutes in the morning it will help you feel so much better and productive afterwards.
If you have more time in the morning (like in the weekends), you can try to go for a phone free walk, leaving your phone at home, maybe grabbing a book instead and spend some time in nature.
It is very important to say that you have to create routines that work for you. The perfect routine that work for all of us doesn’t exist. Your morning or evening routine might look very different compared to mine and that is totally ok!
You always have a choice in how to spend your time. You can make time for things that bring you joy and if there are things that make you feel lazy, tired or not good about yourself the I want you to know that you have the power to change that.
But a little reminder is needed:
Being lazy is not always a bad or unproductive thing. Sometimes it’s needed. Sometimes we need to rest, recharge and the proof is that being lazy can also productive in most cases. You deserve to have lazy days. Days when you’re not available and when you’re busy doing absolutely nothing. It’s ok! and sometimes it’s the most productive thing that we can actually do. Allow yourself to be lazy and to rest but then… come back! and, I mean, come back stronger!
Remind yourself of all the dreams and goals you have and one tip I have for you is to write them down. Write down all the things that you want to achieve. It could be a heathier lifestyle or a successful career, it doesn’t matter how big and crazy your dreams are! Write them down and break it down into smaller steps.
Writing, journaling and planning out your goals, days and tasks will motivate you.
