I wouldn’t classify you as lazy. I know you have long wondered or classified yourself as such, but I don’t think you are. Is it possible that you dream big and that sometimes it is tough to know where to start? Is it possible that not being lazy at work – requires some rest and down time?

This is a great belief to be challenging! Go for it. x

Hi, Megg! Thanks for visiting my blog and for leaving your sweet comment! I love this post of yours. I’ve been thinking about laziness a lot lately because I teach college, and most people think college students are lazy. I don’t think they are, though. When I look at the times in my life when I’ve been most lazy (and there have been a lot of them), it usually had more to do with fear than anything else. Fear of success, fear of failure, fear of doing something that might make me look foolish. My students who seem lazy are usually just really scared.

I loved your post about turning 35, btw! I just turned 42, so I know exactly what you are talking about. Amen, sister. Oh, and I LOVE my 40’s. Truly. xoxo

I do this one too! Even though I rarely stop moving, I feel lazy because I do so little that I see as productive.
I do the “Am I procrastinating? Am I blocked? What am I afraid of when I avoid moving forward with something ‘important’?” dance and then decide I’m being lazy.

I read somewhere today (apologies to whoever wrote this on their blog this morning),”I’ve decided that procrastination really works for me”. I can’t even remember if they were joking because I was struck so hard by the thought,”I wonder if there’s an actual way to make that true?!”

wow…great post, thanks! I feel this way too~lazy, if i’m not busy 100% of the time. i think part of it is society endlessly pushing us. i almost have to give myself permission to sit and watch a movie instead of doing my artwork, or cleaning, etc. otherwise i feel guilty!! let us know if you figure this conundrum out!
