Stop talking about me ! ha ha
Lazy is a word I would have never used to describe myself in my younger and middle life years. Now though, that's how I feel sometimes. I'm not sure it wouldn't take a book to describe all the ways I see it though. More times than not, I feel very unmotivated. I do the essentials, work, feed myself, take care of what HAS to be taken care of, but in-between I sometimes waste a whole lot of time doing nothing important. In the moment, I "think" I am going to do the next thing in just a few moments, but something inside me tells me I have plenty of time to get it done, so I don't feel an inner push ! I do understand I could drop out of this life at any moment, so I am aware that I may NOT really have plenty of time, but knowing that doesn't really help motivate me.
I sometimes affectionately say I have "fairy tale" brain. I'm pretty sure it has to do with low level anxiety that showed up after midlife (hormone changes and all of that). I don't like the feeling that being pushed gives me now, so when I'm chillin I feel much more content.
Who knew?? I would have never pictured myself like this. Just one more thing you don't get to know till your life changes in ways you never dreamed.
I guess we all need to do what feels right, my post wasn't designed to make people feel bad about how they run their lives, just get them to think about how it rolls with a view to make better decisions I guess.
I do nothing too, but it's not an aimless do nothing, it's something I've decided to do: a shut-down, or some such thing. Planned nothingness. Having said that, my life is very busy and complicated so I need to apply structure and form to it.
I think it's important to feel engaged with life no matter what it looks like for the individual and if you're doing that, and are content with it, then I'd say you're living the way you wish. Of course, I'm a continual improvement guy so am always looking for it.
I really didn't take it personal, I was just having a little fun.
Having an analytical brain means no matter how slow my body may be going, there is no slow down in my head, always figuring something out in there. I won't really say I am content with it all the time though. I really never dealt with lack of motivation before. It can be weird.
Oh ok, I wasn't sure, thanks for letting me know.
The motivation thing (lack of it) is something that ( I believe) comes to all of us at some stage and we all deal with it differently, For me, I tend to plan very small and achievable tasks and as I tick them off I tend to gain momentum and set larger and larger ones; before long I'm back on track. It works for me.
