How do I turn off laziness?
Laziness is disabled by searching and selecting the right positive prognosis, which will dissolve any negative emotions in interest, joy and enthusiasm.
When the effect is achieved, the body may experience a pleasant warmth or a sense of energy flow. The head becomes clearer, the hands are filled with lightness, and the transition to action becomes easier, because he feels good about himself.
Suddenly, there may be a solution to a problem or an understanding of how to act in order to get out of a difficult situation, although only a few minutes ago there were big problems with it. By the way, this is a frequent effect when moving from a negative to a positive state.
That is, there is a chain reaction: the correct prediction erases laziness with pleasant emotions that encourage action, which eventually leads to deep satisfaction with the day lived productively.
And the more experience, the faster the laziness is turned off, because you will have your own set of expectations that plunge you into the work. Instead of looking for new formulas, you'll start taking the formulas out of your arsenal.
Is it possible to change one's mind?
But how do you convince yourself that the work will be pleasant? Especially if it is associated with an unpleasant experience in the past. Wouldn't such an impression seem like a fake and self-deception?
In fact, it's almost as easy to convince yourself that your work is as pleasant as believing that it's unpleasant. The only difference is that the latter happens unconsciously and automatically, and the first one needs to make the right conscious efforts.
In order not to reject the change of prognosis as a self-deception and passed successfully, it is necessary to know what parts of the mind's expectations consist of and in what sequence it is necessary to influence each one.
Let's find out.
The structure of the forecast for the future
When you're about to take action, the mind tries to predict the next course of events. Any prediction of the mind consists of three components:
1. Thoughts about an upcoming action or process;
2. the image of the future is visual and/or tactile;
3. expected emotions and bodily sensations.
I have arranged them in an order that we will use to create a positive prognosis. Thoughts of action will shape the image of the future, and together they will evoke emotions with bodily sensations.
Let's take each part apart.
The first component is evaluative thinking about different aspects of the near future. They contain adjectives that answer the question "what? what? what? what?" or adverbs that answer the question "how?
Here is an example for a negative prognosis. What kind of work will it be? Boring, boring, uninteresting. What will my actions be like? Monotonous, routine, monotonous. How will it make me feel? It is disgusting, disgusting, sad.
The second component is the image of the future. It can be visual or tactile. It may be concrete or it may appear as an abstract metaphor. Let's talk about images in more detail below.
Finally, the third component is the expected emotions during or after the actions. In a negative prognosis, you can expect boredom, sadness, frustration or other emotions. Expectations of these emotions in the future give rise to unpleasant emotions in the present. I think you know it.
By the way, in reality, the automatic unconscious prognosis happens in a slightly different way - the brain quickly shows you an unpleasant image of the future with a picture and emotions, assuring that it is inevitable, and then your thoughts about it can be connected.
And because emotions are very serious about predictions, the negative make you worry, depress or feel disgusted, and the positive make you happy, inspire, inspire and inspire.
Personally, I am pleased with the naivety of the emotional system, because it gives me the opportunity to enter into a productive state with the help of intent and proper adjustment, and this is exactly what we need!
Lazy disabling process
First, you need to catch the negative prognosis that you're postponing. To do this, send your mind to the near future and seriously think that right now you will start to act. Observe how the brain puts an unpleasant picture and prediction of emotions in this future.
Understand all three components of the prognosis: what are the thoughts about, what is the image about and what emotions are expected. Then say to yourself, "No! Everything will be quite different" and move on to the second stage - the creation of a diametrically opposite positive prognosis.
The basis for a positive prognosis is "magic words" - adjectives and adverbs about the desired experience, the pronunciation of which instantly includes pleasant emotions and feelings. You search for these words by searching for them and observing the body.
When you have found a few particularly strong words and sit with a smile from the pleasant emotions, it is time to move on to the image of the future. If it appears on its own, it can be improved. If it doesn't, you create it based on "magic words".
The result of the successful process - pleasant emotions, clarity in the head, ease in the body, interest, sudden insights into what to do next. And a positive does not have to be strong - a weak positive is also a good result.
After that you start to take action. If during the action there are unpleasant emotions or resistance, you do the same thing, but for the present, not for the future. It helps.
