Why being lazy actually gets more done

I’m intrinsically lazy. The idea of working 8 hour days, let alone 18 hour days 5 days a week makes me melt into a puddle. A great way to stop me before I even get started is to paint a picture of all the work involved in accomplishing something. 

I read a report card that was given to me in elementary school and my teacher wrote that I would do much better in school If I focused more energy on getting the work done instead of figuring out ways to get out of it. 

For most of my life I have hated this part of me. I admired people that seemed to accomplish so much in such a short period of time. How did they get it all done? They must never sleep. I desired the success but didn’t want to give up chill time, watching movies, afternoons at the beach and the kind of stuff that I enjoyed that well, wasn’t work. I would push myself to the max for short periods of time with sheer will power. FORCE it. MAKE it happen. Then I’d be completely spent and spend the next three days binge watching The Office.

But, as I began to make peace with this part of me and began to love myself for who I am my perceived weakness became my super power.

Bill Gates said, “I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”

Why Laziness is a Good Thing

Say hello to my little friend, The Law of Least Effort. This law, as described by Deepak Chopra is “the principle of least action, of no resistance.” I was first introduced to this concept of things being effortless when I read Neville Goddard’s book, “The Power of Awareness.” The 14th chapter is titled “The Effortless Way.” Let me tell you, that title sure peaked my interest. I didn’t have a clue what I was reading and could barely understand a single sentence but I had been trying the Effort FULL way and it sure wasn’t going that great. So I persevered in my study on this as that little elementary school spirit was still alive in me…and if there was a way to get more done with less work, I was all in. 

You see, creation is already finished and the thing we desires already exists in a version of the countless versions of possible realities. The issue is that we don’t see it because of our limiting beliefs, paradigms, assumptions, lack of awareness and so forth. We make it so much harder on ourselves than we need to because we think we have to work so hard and strain to get what we want. That is what we believe so that is what we experience. But if what we desire is already created then why all the stress and struggle? What if we just were lazy and got out of the way so the desire could manifest in our lives.

Let me explain. 

Sometimes I feel like a broken record as I’ve written and spoke about this over and over again, but if you can truly get this one concept your life will be forever changed.

What you desire exists on a vibrational frequency. All you need to do to attract (create) it in your life is to get on that same frequency. I can pretty confidently guess that you think experiencing or achieving your desire/goal will make you either happy, secure, successful, loved, confident, abundant, free, empowered, peaceful, relieved, joyful, grateful, or a number of other high vibe feelings. If your goal is to be a millionaire and you think being a millionaire will make you free. Freedom is a feeling. Feeling is a word to describe the vibration we are in. So for you, being a millionaire is a frequency of freedom. So all you have to do is develop the quality/feeling of freedom in your life and then you’ll attract (create) the millions of dollars. All you have to do is do things that make you feel good, happy, peaceful, at ease so that your vibration raises into alignment with the thing you desire. 

So how does this tie into being lazy? When I was working so hard trying to achieve my goals I was grumpy, stressed, ungrateful, complaining, resentful, and unhappy. I was not anywhere close to the vibration of the success I desired. Working hard was actually keeping my in a low vibe which was keeping me from manifesting my desire.

Being lazy, doing things that made me feel good, like having a hot soak in the tub, laying in the backyard looking up at the clouds, watching a funny movie, listening to fun music, reading an inspiring book all allowed my vibration to raise. As my vibration rose I got clearer direction from my higher self on the right action to take. AND that action was fun for me and didn’t feel like work. 

If feeling free is the frequency of a millionaire for you there are many ways to feel free now. Spending time in nature doing things you enjoy, playing games, choosing to do things you like instead of doing what you think you are obligated to do, and so on. There are many ways to feel free now that have nothing to do with working hard. In face they are the opposite of working hard. 

The success I desired was because I wanted to feel a certain way. I wanted to feel empowered, loved, worthy and free. Those are all high vibration emotions. Working hard doing things I didn’t enjoy kept me in low vibration emotions. I would never be able to create the success I desired if I kept existing in those low vibes. I had to be my lazy self and get into a good feeling place in order for my vibration to be one of empowerment, love, worth and freedom so that I could attract more of that in my life and create the success I desired. 

Bob Proctor tells a story of a fly that is desperately trying to get outside and it keeps banging up against a window. It’s working so hard and is completely exhausted with it’s futile attempts to get to the outdoors. All the while just a foot away is an open door where the fly could easily and effortlessly fly outside.

Why make things harder than they have to be? Why not take the easy route and just go out the open door?

So if you have an aversion to hard work and feel bad about your inclination towards the chill life, don’t feel bad about it. It can actually be your super power as you live the effortless way utilizing the law of least effort.
