How often do we come across someone stagnant, comatose, apparently unable to make decisions and fight for his goals or for a better life? Given this, The first judgment that comes to the minds of many may be attesting that that individual is a lazy, accommodated or that has no ambition. However, Few consider that, Maybe, That person feels stuck, tied or unable to get out of place for several other reasons, beyond just the lack of goodwill to act.
The philosopher, poet and writer Fabiano de Abreu It points out that, Before judging, It is necessary to keep in mind the distinction between laziness, idleness and inaction: “The laziness is characterized by the lack of disposition for work or aversion to it. It is a difficulty in acting, neglect, indolence, slowness or slowness in practicing any action. Laziness is a defect that puts us down and makes us less than we could be. Already the idle It is the one who spends his time uselessly or in leisure, doing nothing. Idleness is a waste of the greatest good today, that is the time. The inaction no entanto é a total falta de ação e isto pode ser devido a muitos motivos”.
Fabiano refere que o julgamento antecipado diante de pessoas que se encontram em algum tipo de inação ou inércia é comum, mas que este comportamento está longe de revelar o que realmente pode estar a acontecer com aquele indivíduo: “Muito rapidamente tomamos os que estão inertes por ociosos ou preguiçoso, como alguém que quer ir a boleia da vida. Mas em alguns casos estamos perante a alguém inerte exatamente porque o mesmo perdeu esta boleia, por que este alguém tentou por demasiadas vezes e viu os seus objetivos e sonhos serem desfeitos. Soon, o julgamento antecipado é uma maneira tola de intervir na vida do outro, since, By not knowing your story, You cannot judge your behavior or understand it ”.
However, The philosopher points out that laziness and inaction are human tendencies: “We are lazy because our activities are against human nature. Animals do not waste energy, They spend energy just to reproduce, hunt and escape the predators. Everyone else is to store energy to have energy for these things. It is part of our primitive instinct. Yet, If something I do, soon exist, If I do nothing, I will be nothing ”.
We judge without knowledge of the cause
The philosopher also believes that we quickly judge people because we are not willing to look more closely at the next: “In today's society we don't waste time looking at each other and, When we do our judgments are quick, slightly deep and too many times extremely cruel. We are the society of quick labels, of unique opportunities, of time that does not stop running. And so we don't see that maybe, that someone by our side can no longer absorb the brutality of the world we live in and for this reason is stopped, Because it is lost, too exhausted and forgotten by the fellow men ”.
How to overcome inertia
“When everything seems to be lost, be aware that there is an energy within you that is activated through self -knowledge ”.
From this philosophical phrase above, we find a possible solution to contradict our difficulty in acting. The self -recognition: "When we know our qualities and limitations we take a big step because we adapt our goals to our own capabilities and in the end we will feel less frustrated.".
Strategies to overcome inaction
After exposure of the problem, The philosopher proposes some measures to overcome laziness, idleness and inaction. Check:
Set goals as a way of overcoming laziness
Fabiano proposes the system of setting goals as a plausible solution for stagnation: “Because we do not use a predefined goal as a principle of action? A small target can help us find our way again. Intelligently combating inaction allows us to reach the definitive conclusion that we must abandon laziness and act so that we can conquer our life projects. Goals can be viewed as life motives, that take us out of idleness, as the essential fuel so that the routine does not consume us, Sadness does not impregnate and so that we can always feel motivated. And for all this to become real, We need to overcome laziness, the fear, inaction and all these characteristics that discourage us and make it smaller, ourselves and our experiences. Soon, The secret is to live the gift in the best way without feeling frightened by the future. At this very moment when you are reading this text and feel motivating, since, Your present moment is always better than your uncertain future”.
Calculate losses and gains
“Overcome inaction by practicing the action in a concrete way. Calculate the risks, the gains and losses, Make your balance and, If it is worth, Knife! Practice! The faster conclude what you propose the more quickly experienced the good sensations of a goal achieved, of a completed step, of an objective. The sensation of victory and this, propels you to want to make new attempts ”.
Condition your mind
O filósofo traz à lembrança o facto de que tudo está condicionado em nossa mente: “faça agora, already. Ao vencer a preguiça a praticar a ação, ativamos a ansiedade e através dela abrimos nossa mente para absorver conhecimento e concluir nossas tarefas de forma positiva”.
Seja você mesmo sua própria alavanca
“Devemos tentar ser a nossa própria alavanca. Se não nos queremos bem quem quererá? Nós projetamos o nosso reflexo nos outros, lutar por nós é também um caminho para lutar por quem gostamos e está ao nosso lado”.
Inação e preguiça como consequência de um cansaço ou esgotamento
“A inação e até mesmo a preguiça podem vir também do estresse ou da estafa do cotidiano de trabalho, vinculado ao excesso de problemas e afazeres. Contudo não há outra maneira, a não ser ter consciência disso para que possa organizar as etapas e concluir uma a uma optando pela opção das mais urgentes”.
Alivie o estresse
“Procure organizar também o tempo para ter horas de lazer e distração a ponto de aliviar a pressão para que possa resolver melhor os problemas com lucidez. Pense que só não há jeito para a morte e todo o resto pode ser resolvido nem que tenha que ser refeito ou que tenha que mudar a estratégia ou optar por metas diferentes”.
