You're Not Lazy

I used to call myself lazy and unmotivated but the reality was that I was afraid. I was working hard but I was working hard on things I didn't care about to avoid doing the scary thing that was on my heart. And then I'd get down on myself and that only made things worse.

I don't believe there is any such thing as lazy. I believe we avoid things we are fearful of. Calling yourself lazy is not only untrue but it is hurtful to your self confidence. If you have a dream on your heart but you find yourself unmotivated or not moving forward, here are 4 tips to break that vicious cycle.

1.) Call it what it is - fear. Go deep and ask yourself what you are afraid of. Is it fear of what other people think? Fear of being good enough? Name is what it is. 

2.) Take action! Take one small step that will get you out of your comfort zone and toward your goal. The first step is always the hardest but you can do it! If you don't know what to do, ask! You're not alone!

3.) Small wins build confidence. Whatever you started in step 2, make sure you follow through and finish it because small wins add up and build self confidence and self worth. The hardest part is starting and the second hardest part is finishing. It doesn't have to be perfect! Let yourself be bad because that is how you learn and grow.

4.) Enjoy the journey. As you pursue your goal there will always be ups and downs. Embrace all of it. Be grateful for the highs but also be grateful for the lows because if you pay attention, you will learn so much more from the lows.
