Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji - To tackle laziness, you should take a vow for a limited period of time. Next 20 days I am not going to be lazy. In between, if you become lazy then from that day onwards for another 20 days take a vow again, 'I am not going to be lazy. Whenever you break a vow, you say from that time you will continue with double the enthusiasm, and double the vigor. That seems to have worked for many people.
1. Taking a vow, taking a determination.
2. Attending to your food.
3. Do some pranayama. When there is energy, when there is prana, it doesn't allow you to simply sit and be lazy.
4. Check vitamin levels in your body. If D3 is low, which more people seem to be having these days, or B12 is low in your body, then you don't feel like doing anything.
When you wake up in the morning you feel too tired. This is the sign of vitamin D3 going very low in your body, because we eat all this fast food. E series of preservatives from food block the sun rays from getting processed into the system. Though you're in the sun, the D3 doesn't get into your blood stream. That is why we must avoid all these preservatives, ketchups which has all these chemical preservatives. We should go back to organic natural food.
A beautiful question and a wise answer!
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji offers a practical and inspiring guidance to overcome laziness and cultivate spirituality:
1. Take a vow: Commit to a specific period, like 20 days, to overcome laziness. If you slip up, renew your vow with double enthusiasm and vigor.
2. Attend to your food: Focus on nourishing your body with wholesome, organic food. Avoid preservatives and fast food that can deplete vitamin levels.
3. Practice pranayama: Regular pranayama (breathing exercises) can boost energy and vitality, making it harder for laziness to take hold.
4. Check vitamin levels: Ensure you have adequate vitamin D3 and B12, as deficiencies can lead to fatigue and lethargy.
5. Embrace yoga and meditation: Regular practice can help you connect with your inner self, find motivation, and cultivate a sense of purpose.
Remember, small steps can lead to significant changes. Start with a vow, nourish your body, and cultivate your inner energy. You got this!
May you find inspiration in Gurudev's words and may your journey towards spirituality be filled with joy, enthusiasm, and vigor!
