You can stop being lazy by using these tips to motivate yourself to find an interest in life.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A journal
An alarm clock
Organizational skills
Goals
Exercise
Friends
Hypnotherapy (optional)
New diet (optional)

Step 1: Make a list

Acknowledge the detrimental effects of your laziness. Make a list to motivate you of ways your life would improve if you were more active.

Step 2: Get organized

Get organized by establishing a strict schedule for yourself. Set your alarm.

Step 3: Break the habit

Break your addiction to procrastination by avoiding the couch and television -- or whatever your go-to distraction is -- so that you remain upright and conscious.

Tip: Consider hypnotherapy.

Step 4: Set goals

Set goals, replacing phrases like "should," "might," or "have to" with the word "will." You will psycho-linguistically program yourself to succeed, as research shows goal-oriented people do.

Tip: Change your diet to help build discipline.

Step 5: Exercise regularly

Exercise regularly. Endorphins change the chemical balance of the brain and generate a positive attitude. Low activity causes low energy.

Step 6: Ask friends for help

Lower stress and eliminate unwitting enablers by informing friends of your plans. Their support will keep you accountable.

Tip: Don't confuse laziness with an inability to deal with stress.

Step 7: Help others

Help someone else. Giving to others can get you engaged with the rest of humanity without obsessing about your problems
