Wow, I’m truly happy I found this. I have had problems being lazy my whole life. Iv been depressed a lot, I feel guilty when I am confronted about my lazyness. I did all that I thought I could do to change and be productive, but instead I found idle chatter and distractions and procrastination. My husband works nights and I keep the same schedule to be with him, so I sleep while the sun is up and stay awake at night. I feel most of my energy and motivation sets with the sun. I used to drink a gallon and a half of milk a week, eat for the sake of eating. No fresh anythig, its all junk food. I’m trying to change and now because of this article/blog I now know what I can change. Thank you very very much for posting this. May God continue to bless you and your work. I Pray God is with me and gives me the strength to fight off my fears, and to fight that voice that says no matter what it isn’t enough or it isn’t enoughbto please him. I need this or I will lose my mariage for sure!. Again I thank you for this blog.

Dear Gabby, what you need maybe healing instead of more discipline. Once the biologically caused mind problem is clear, you maybe surprised at how much more you are able to focus. Your description of yourself sounds so much like those who have ADHD. Because of the inability to focus, many ADHD sufferers procrastinate. It is very hard for them to shift from task to task, to start a major task, to complete a task, and to enjoy intensive work. Some people can focus on intensive task for hours because they are healthy. If you sleep poorly, that also indicates that you may have something like ADHD. You also keep running late, which is a symptom of ADHD.

If you are still in school, I advice you to get help from your school. The college usually have on site experts who can diagnose learning disability and other psychological conditions that caused you to be “lazy, slow, and late”.

Be careful of their med or prescription though. I would not take any of them even though I myself might have ADHD and will go to get a test soon. I am cutting off sugar, milk, yeast-products, processed foods, rice, white bread… Eat organic, proteins, seeds, and supplements. You may want to go to drhyman.com and healthwyze.org to read more on these conditions.

Thank you for this post. I am probably one of the laziest, slowest, and latest people to ever walk the earth. I am always running late, and I hardly can get myself motivated to do anything it seems. I actually identified with nearly everything that was said, and I know that I must change. I actually stumbled across this blog while procrastinating studying for an exam. I just can’t get motivated. I did not know this could be pinned to depression! Does this mean I’m depressed? the entire section for numbers 1,2, and 3 describe me exactly! I always criticize myself and compare myself to others, strive for perfectionism, and put things off because off fear. But how do I change such major parts of myself so fast? I feel like I would have to become another person. I know prayer is powerful and is what I must do… I guess being so lazy, even my prayer life gets put on hold.

anyway, I like your advice about eating and sleeping! I, too, have very poor habits concerning both of these.

Keep letting God use you! You are a light.

Thanks Jenn. I have since learned a lot more about how our biological problems can affect the mind, such as adult ADHD, chronic depression, allergies, mind fogs, and so on. The common things we all need to do is to eat right, know what foods we are allergic to (many people allergic too gluten foods), and that would remove a lot of biological problems that “minic” laziness. It does take some researches, but we Christians have this intense desire to do right, but most of the time most of us can’t. If we have the right understanding of our bodies, we will do much better and avoid false guilt.

Ya I recently found out that there were also medical and psychological reasons behind that too. It might not be a migraine, but sometime stress can trigger problems in normal people too. I didn’t experienced dizziness and vomiting. But then we all manifest different health issues when under excessive stress.

I think you’re experiencing migraine. I used to have those symptoms too which started when I was 14. I’ve been to an eye specialists. I thought I’m having some sort of visual problems too. I had worn eyeglasses for years and still experienced dizziness, headache and some floaters too accompanied by vomiting. I noticed that symptoms appear during stressful situations.

Until I consulted a neurologist and found out to have classic migraine characterized by floaters or some sort of flashing lights which medical books refer to as ‘aura’. The dr. prescribed me a medicine.

Yes, including prayers. I prayed really hard for this because this is such an unpleasant condition sometimes, it occurs unexpectedly.

By God’s grace, my last attack was 3 years ago. I am now 19.

Highest praise to GOD!

Thanks Anon, there are a lot of organic and healthy food that can replace unhealthy and fattening foods, and taste just as delicious if not more. Often it requires simple change from white sugar to organic honey, and white toast to rye bread. It takes some research but in the grand scheme of things it’s only a little bit of effort to sort that out.

Wow, God bless you for this spiritual, scriptural and practical advice! I think food is a huge problem of mine and I am going to work with God on improving that.

God bless you again
