Got the Lazies?
Many women want to feel committed to exercising, yet often feel too tired and unmotivated to begin. It sure can be challenging to get up and at ‘em in the morning and/or to get off the sofa and exercise when all you want to do is relax at the end of the day.
Yet, getting started really is the most difficult part and once you move past it, you will be off and running in no time.
The next time you have the inclination that it’s time to get yourself going, instead of sinking back into that sofa…
- GET UP and SHAKE your body… literally. Get on your feet and start jiggling your body!
- Jump up and down!
- Wiggle!
- Swing your arms so hard that they smack you back!
- Smile! Giggle! Laugh!
- Take some deep breaths.
- Recite your Truth Affirmations (e.g., This is so good for me, I love my body, This feels really good, I’m ready for some fun…)
- You know what to do next…
And remember, one of the benefits of regular physical activity is that it increases your level of energy. By staying committed to regular activity, the “lazies” will soon be a thing of the past.

Now that you know how to shake off the lazies, what will you commit to?

I have a terrible time motivating myself to get up and move…or get to the gym…I’ll have to try this..
That is good Susan. I just had a visual with that one. I didn’t get up and jump and shake yet but I was sure laughing. Does that count, because laughter is good for the soul and the body?
I have to say Susan you can really come up with some good ones. Thanks
Debbie
Great idea Susan! Pretty cute actually! I’m not much of a motivater at all~ I would need someone to “physically” get me up and moving!
“Little Sheryl” is haunting too many times!
Thanks for the love!
Hi Susan,
I find it very difficult to eat and drink healthily and exercise regularly because of my depression and loneliness, I also have insomnia so unfortunately I can’t commit to these things at the moment. I want to thank you though for encouraging me and many others with your article about beating the ‘lazies’. Thankyou so much Susan, keep on keeping on!
Love from Lianne x
Great tips Susan
There is something in your message that I got in the email about when we have been told we were lazy as kids. It’s a negative comment and an invalidation that can affect us all later in life.
I love your tips here. It’s about having a positive attitude and having fun. I really get that from your photo.
