Lackadaisical
I plead guilty here. I sometimes find myself in a lethargic state. And Iām sure you do too. Lackadaisical is a state where we lack interest and vigor in general. We feel disengaged, which prevents us from achieving what we had planned for the day. For many people this has become a norm, making way for a bigger enemy ā procrastination (refer to Your Optimal Self and learn how to beat procrastination)
There are various reasons explaining why people get in this state. It could be mental or physical. When we are living on a day-to-day basis without any sense of purpose and orientation, we leave space in between the hours. We then start to indulge ourselves in eating, scrolling, daydreaming, etc. Blood flow decreases due to limited movement.
We can break this pattern by including a well-balanced set of activities for the day. It all requires a little bit of mental planning and focus. The trick is to build some rest and play routine over time. Go break a sweat and enjoy the recovery moment afterwards without any feeling of guilt.
And remember the brain is lazy and will always favor the couch over a run in the park.
