But I don't want anything. How to get rid of the state when you do not want to do anything

The state of apathy, depression, when nothing pleases in life, and there is no strength for anything, massively affects people, and doctors are already sounding the alarm. Previously it was believed that apathy is a temporary phenomenon, and it does not require special attention. However, now, more and more often, apathy turns into severe and protracted depression, which already needs to be treated in a hospital.

What is apathy in a person, how does it appear, and why does it happen

The main reason for apathy is a banal lack of energy. AT modern world we have to be on the move all the time, run all the time, hurry, and we don’t have a second to rest. For some time, the body copes, a “second wind” may open, then a third, fourth, but the resources of the body are not unlimited. At some point, our body begins to rebel and turns on a defense mechanism called "apathy".

Apathy sets in, you don’t want to do anything, and you feel constant fatigue, when you don’t even have the strength or desire to turn your head. We know what to do when the battery in our phone is dead, but what to do when the battery is dead in the body? It's even more difficult when you don't want to do anything.

Apathy against the background of emotional burnout occurs in those who take their work too responsibly. These are doctors, rescuers, firefighters, police, etc. Giving all of themselves to work, saving people and not feeling the return, people burn out. Sometimes the impotence and inability to save the one who trusted you causes disappointment in your profession or in yourself. First, this manifests itself in rudeness, and then indifference to their work.

Apathy is a pretty serious condition. Starting with indifference and detachment, aversion to life may also appear. No one is immune from this disaster, and apathy can overtake a woman, a man, and a child.

The state of apathy, if you don’t want to do anything, is not easy laziness, with which it is often confused. At the heart of apathy are psychophysiological reasons. The causes of laziness are similar to the causes of apathy, but they are not so dangerous. With laziness, a person is in harmony with himself, and he is consciously lazy, not wanting to do anything. Lazy man causes irritation, and apathetic - anxiety. Laziness is a permanent state of a person that lasts continuously for years, while apathy occurs in active and cheerful people, and is of a severe nature that requires the attention of a psychologist.

Weakness, drowsiness, apathy, fatigue: causes in women

Women are physically weaker than men, in addition, they are often more emotional and vulnerable. In this regard, the causes of apathy in women can be of various origins.

Hormones play a huge role in a woman's health. Pregnancy, menopause, PMS, cause a hormonal storm in the body, frequent mood swings, and at some point, this mood can freeze at its lowest point.

In the treatment of certain diseases, women undergo hormonal treatment. Hormonal imbalance in the body can cause a whole chain of failures that lead to apathy. Appetite is disturbed, as a rule, women begin to overeat, gain weight, and when looking in the mirror, experience severe stress. This stress is exacerbated if the treatment does not bring the desired effect. Disbelief in the future, lack of strength to fight on, leads to apathy and depression.

Unrequited love is a huge test for any person, but some women experience it more acutely. If a separation occurs, a woman feels abandoned, useless, and a wave of despair covers her. At first, this is an understandable desire to cry, and at such moments no one is eager to interrupt this flow. It is believed that in such cases it is necessary to let her cry, but without friendly support, the woman is exhausted from tears, and soon there is emptiness. Then there are no tears, but there are no other desires either.

Apathy in women can cause overwork. Especially often this occurs after the birth of a child, when chronic lack of sleep is replaced by constant fear for the child, and not very correct statements by relatives or the lack of help from a spouse cause a feeling of inferiority. A woman tells herself that she is a bad mother, a bad wife, and all her efforts lead to nothing. Why then all this? Why cook, clean, take care of yourself if no one cares about you. A bad mood is superimposed on physical fatigue, which eventually leads to apathy.

Unfulfilled dreams, shattered hopes, when everything goes upside down and a woman does not have time to comprehend what is happening around, she withdraws into herself and does not react to the outside world at all.

In fact, there are many reasons why apathy occurs. Death native person, stress, job loss, and when a series of unpleasant events does not stop, a kind of fuse works in the head, which turns off all feelings and emotions.

Causes of apathy in men

Apathy can arise against the background of dissatisfaction with oneself. Men often take on an unbearable burden. They plan everything clearly, but if the plan goes awry, irritation arises, accusing oneself of being unable to cope with the situation, and as a result, all desire to do something disappears.

The constant routine, repeated from day to day, has already received its name: "Groundhog Day". A person feels trapped and cannot escape from it. Each new day is similar to the previous one. Man does not see the future, he goes in circles, and there is no end to this. Everything loses its meaning, home-work, work-home, and all the colors in life have faded. A man automatically does all the movements, actions, and slowly loses control over himself. He does not remember what day it is, whether he put on shoes, or goes to work in slippers, he is seized by indifference to everything. One day, he simply won’t get up for work in the morning and will remain lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. He ceases to be aware of himself as a living person, and this is not an exaggeration. With apathetic depression, devitalization of mental alienation appears, when a person loses awareness of his own "I". The instinct of self-preservation disappears, as does the desire to exist.

If a man is too responsible, he often takes on too much. He helps everyone, of course, everyone uses it with pleasure. Chronic fatigue, lack of sleep, irregular meals and every second responsibility leads to chronic fatigue. The word “I want” is replaced by the word “necessary”, and so on endlessly. If you always follow the circumstances, ignoring your own needs, weakness, drowsiness along with insomnia, fatigue and apathy appear over time.

Often apathy in men can be the result of prolonged stress. Unloved job, bad relationships in the family, all this accumulates over the years, and gradually sucks all the strength. For his own reasons, a man cannot or does not want to change the situation and continues to go with the flow as long as there is strength.

Apathy does not start suddenly, and the first signs of this disorder can be noticed long before the person simply refuses to move.

First of all, a man gives up his hobbies. If he used to go fishing, went to a bar with friends for the weekend, then with the onset of apathy, this becomes uninteresting to him. He moves away from friends and spends more and more time alone, just staring at the wall.

Then there is absent-mindedness, lethargy, memory loss and drowsiness. Others attribute this to laziness, and the alarm begins to sound only when a person stops taking care of himself, washing, eating and reacting to the environment.

This is a severe stage of apathy, and if this state continues for more than two weeks, it's time to get down to business. A person will not get out of this state on his own and will simply wither away.

How to deal with fatigue and apathy

Quite rarely, a person with apathy himself turns to doctors for help. I want to lie down and do nothing, not even breathe or blink. Everything has lost its meaning and absolute indifference to one's own condition does not allow a person to realize the need for treatment.

After all, many miss the first symptoms of apathy and attribute everything to simple fatigue. They hope to sleep off, go on vacation and everything will pass. Only it is not always possible to take a break on time, and at work they can be loaded with additional urgent work.

In such cases, it is important to listen to yourself and not be driven like a "draft horse". Sometimes, for the sake of your own health, you can put an ultimatum to the authorities. Of course it's not the best option, but the fact is that if apathy overtakes you, you may already lose your job. Only you will be sick, unhappy and useless. yesterday valuable employee will turn into a pale shadow of yesterday's workaholic.

Apathy is a problem of modern society, and therefore it is more reasonable to carry out the prevention of this disorder, and not bring it to a clinical state, which, according to the International Classification of Diseases, has an index of R45.3 "Demoralization and apathy".

Treatment of apathetic depression - the right approach is important

Apathetic depression is not always easy to treat. Often needed A complex approach, which combines psychotraining and restorative therapy of the body. By the time the relatives begin to sound the alarm, the patient is already exhausted both morally and physically, he simply does not have the strength, even for treatment. Weakness and prolonged fasting exhaust the body, and every movement is difficult.

In such cases, a vitamin complex is prescribed to improve the patient's physical condition, enhanced nutrition, and only then, psychotherapy sessions are prescribed.

In the case of a severe state of apathy, treatment often begins with hypnosis sessions. It is important to reach out to the patient, get him out of his stupor and give him the motivation to heal. In a state of hypnosis, a person is freed from his problems, and by examining all corners of a person’s memory, one can find what exactly caused the disorder and how to get out of it.

Subsequently, at psychotherapy sessions, the patient, together with the psychologist, sorts out what was wrong. It is important to correctly measure your capabilities and strengths so as not to be upset because of failures and pipe dreams. You can get out of apathy this time, but you have to learn not to get into such situations again.

It is important to be aware of your “I”, which determines all our “wants” and not ours. Being kind and sympathetic is wonderful, but we must not forget about ourselves. If the inner "I" protests, a person comes into conflict with himself, and it is important to be aware of this.

When psychotraining does not bring results, the doctor may prescribe psychostimulants of nervous activity. It is better not to select medicines on your own, and amateur performance is not welcome here. Most over-the-counter drugs available in pharmacies have a sedative effect of varying degrees. These drugs can only harm the patient. In addition, drug therapy must necessarily be combined with psychotherapy.

Scientists write that it is enough for an adult to sleep 6 hours a day, but they forget to add that these are averages. Set aside as much time for your sleep as your body needs. Don't forget about sports and proper nutrition. No wonder they say that a healthy mind in a healthy body. The body will find the necessary resources in case of another trouble, but these resources must be protected and replenished in a timely manner.

Learn to be an optimist. It sounds strange, but optimism can be learned. There is a share of optimism in every person, and with regular training you can develop the ability to see the good and believe in miracles more. Treat everyday problems with irony and a share of humor, because these are trifles that are not worth your worries.

Most often, people who themselves allowed this to happen fall under the influence of apathy. They limited themselves to only work and duties, and completely abandoned entertainment. It is always a waste of time and money for entertainment, but they are necessary for a person. Let it be a trip to the zoo, to the cinema, or riding a bicycle, but the human brain needs a change of scenery and emotions. Otherwise, the repeating "Groundhog Day" image will come back again.

Apathy, low performance. Causes of Chronic Fatigue

There are days when you don't want to do anything at all.

No going to work, no cooking, no cleaning the house. What can I say, even meeting with friends and favorite shopping seems like a real hard labor!

Everyone has days when they don't want to do anything at all. And if this state “covers” some of them for several hours, then it does not let go of others for weeks!

You just lie in bed and cannot get up because you are tired, because everything is tired and nothing pleases you in life. In fact, this is a very dangerous condition.

While you think that you are simply overcome by laziness and do nothing, you can slowly sink into the abyss of depression, because the cause of this state can be both emotional burnout and lack of motivation.

All this is fraught with serious consequences, because emotional problems quickly flow into physical ailments.

A person who has lost the desire to enjoy life begins to “seize” his problems, gain extra pounds and face obesity.

Subsequently, this may lead to diabetes and heart failure. Moreover, a person begins to smoke a lot, gets hooked on alcohol, or even tries drugs.

Is it worth talking about the consequences of these addictions? In fact, having lost the threads of managing his own life, a person begins to seek pleasure in base addictions, triggering the mechanism of destroying his own life.

Perhaps we are exaggerating, and your apathy will never lead to such detrimental consequences.

But if she has “covered” you with her head, and has not let go for many days now, it is important to find the strength in yourself to understand what is happening to you and try to regain your desire to live.

In this article we will try to answer the question: “What to do if you don’t want to do anything?”.

There can be many reasons for this condition, but in a general sense, 3 main ones can be distinguished:
laziness;
burnout syndrome;
depression.

1. Laziness

This state has ruined millions of light undertakings. A person is lazy when he loses, when he knows that as a result of the work done he will not receive either moral or physical pleasure.

This condition can overtake a person for a number of reasons. Perhaps you worked hard, but did something wrong, because of which you did not get one step closer to the goal.

The realization that you are doing your best, but at the same time marking time, can demotivate anyone.

Or maybe you were faced with injustice, or others did not understand your intentions. Realizing this, you simply dropped your hands.

3. Depression

Both long-lasting laziness and at some point can push a person to the edge, beyond which depression begins.

This is a dangerous disease that seriously worsens the emotional and physical condition of a person.

And given that depression is not so easy to recognize, a person may for a long time suffer from its symptoms, losing the ability to enjoy life.

Having identified the causes of your apathy, it is worth considering how to deal with them. Here are some actionable tips to help you get out of the emotional hole:

How to deal with laziness

People who have no purpose are prone to laziness. It will seem surprising, but the Universe allocates energy only for specific aspirations.

When you have a specific goal, your eyes light up! You are active and energetic, all your thoughts are aimed at achieving the goal, and there can be no talk of idleness and laziness!

But if there is no goal, you are simply empty, blown away like a ball. There is less and less energy inside you, and the one that remains stagnates and, like everything stagnant, begins to “go out”.

Fighting laziness is difficult, but it is possible. For this:

1. start dreaming. Each of us has secret desires that we would dream of fulfilling. They would be able to decorate our lives and restore our tone, but for this you need to go a long way.

Stop being afraid of it, life shows that the path to the goal is no less pleasant than the joy of achieving it!

2. Set a goal. Let it be something real, tangible, something that can be achieved in the foreseeable future.

3. Break the path to your goal into several simple steps . Do you dream of visiting New Zealand? So, to achieve your goal, you will have to:
a) Find a job
b) Start saving money;
c) Agree with the management about the vacation;
d) Buy tickets;
e) Make a travel plan.

4. Reward yourself for reaching milestones.

Overcoming each of the stages, make gifts for yourself, for example, if you put aside the first $200 - arrange shopping and buy a new thing, agree on a vacation - go to a nightclub. This will be an additional incentive for your main goal.

5. Looking for allies. Whatever your goal, look for people who can help you achieve your dream.

There may be people who can help you with tickets, with a guide in a foreign country, or with accommodation.

6.Visualize. Constantly imagine that your dream has already come true, that you have already stepped off the plane and plunged into the original culture of the Maori tribe, and felt all the charm of the waves of the Pacific Ocean.

Don't underestimate visualization. The more clearly you imagine that your dream has come true, the closer you are to it in reality.

7. Get out of your comfort zone. Remember that achieving a goal is overcoming yourself. You must be ready for hardship: hard work, lack of rest, giving up petty desires.

Do not be afraid of these hardships, because as a result you will get what you have been striving for for so long!

How to beat burnout syndrome

Burnout Syndrome (BS) is psychological fatigue multiplied by the inability to realize one's potential.

Life shows that people who are regularly exposed to stress are more likely to experience SEB. Often these are professionals who do not find support in their work, as well as gifted people whose work remains incomprehensible to society.

To cope with such a problem, a person needs:

1. Find a balance between work and leisure. To an enthusiastic person who fights for his dream, but cannot break through concrete wall, sometimes you need to relax, switch to family affairs and find time for your hobby.

2. It's important to move more. Even if your work is directly related to the Internet and sitting at a computer, do not forget about physical activity. Antidepressants will not save you from emotional burnout, but regular walks in the fresh air and exercise can!

3. Change your priorities. The problem of emotional burnout can be both in the surrounding circumstances and in yourself. Therefore, try to change priorities, for example, change your goal or attitude towards it. It is important that henceforth you do not waste yourself in vain, so that your work brings pleasure, not suffering.

4. Connect with real people more.
Cut off from yourself unnecessary information that carries negativity or simply wastes your time.

News channels in the media, stupid TV series, and aimless browsing on the Internet clutter up the brain and take up valuable time. It is better to spend it on the study of scientific literature and self-improvement.

Also, take the time to connect with real people who can give you good advice or just provide support when you need it.

Proper rest, diverse interests and communication with loved ones will quickly restore your vitality!

How to deal with depression

The cause of depression can be severe stress associated with the loss of a loved one or other circumstances (divorce, unemployment, serious illness).

However, most often this mental disorder appears as a result of loneliness, lack of life goals and loss of motivation.

In this case, your condition ceases to be a psychological dead end, but becomes a real disorder, with which it makes sense to consult a doctor.

And how could it be otherwise, if, in addition to apathy and the loss of the joy of life, a person in deep depression has thoughts about unwillingness to live.

Dealing with depression is difficult, but necessary. To do this, you should follow the tips to combat laziness and burnout syndrome, because they are ideal for this condition. That is:

Set new goals for yourself;
don't let yourself be lazy;
keep physically active;
spend more time with friends and loved ones;
plan your day so that you do not have time for negative thoughts;
protect yourself from negativity (change jobs if you don’t like it, divorce a person whose life brings only suffering).

In addition, see a psychotherapist. You can't get out of a deep depression without the help of a specialist.

Love life and take care of yourself!

As they say: "Good afternoon, dear editors!". Although we appeal, of course, to the readers. We are Artem Bukanov and Sasha Bogdanova.

Not so long ago, Sasha decided to highlight a vital question for everyone: how to force yourself to do something, and therefore I (Artem) undertook to speculate on this topic.

Indeed, laziness and procrastination have become the most scourge of our time.

A huge number of people are struggling with such a problem, looking for a solution to it, racking their brains, and meanwhile: they still don’t want to do anything, they constantly put off even important things, and if they do them, then reluctantly or under duress.

So let's figure out how you can tune in to a working mood if you don't want anything. Perhaps, it’s worth mentioning right away that there is no “magic pill” for everyone and everyone, because everyone has their own motivation.

But I will try to speculate what options out of this situation are.

To begin with, I want to draw attention to a number of tips that are often offered to solve the current situation. Personally, in my opinion, in most cases they are useless and sucked from the finger.

Here is some of them:

Give yourself a reward for a job well done

Come on, come on! It’s as if you won’t allow yourself this reward anyway (various options are offered: from a simple chocolate bar to an expensive purchase). After all, it is YOU who decide whether or not to allow yourself the reward, and not someone who offered you to do the work for it.

Therefore, most likely, you will allow yourself a reward, but the matter will remain unfulfilled.

Gather your will into a fist!

Yeah, and then immediately sort it out ... Well, let's be honest now: if you don’t have enough willpower to do this or that thing, that you don’t like it, where the hell does she come from to gather into your fist? What the hell is that anyway?

That is, you need to find willpower when you obviously know that you have problems with this? Well, yes, we can say that this is a kind of mobilization, but it's all "blank on the soap." This mobilization comes when, as a rule, it is already a complete mess.

Take a break from business

In part, yes, rest is needed, but we are talking about laziness, right?! I will also immediately draw your attention to the fact that not all work can be done step by step and not every work can take a break.

Some activities require constant performance, concentration of strength and attention: allow yourself to relax your thighs for a while, and the burden of responsibility will crush you like an elephant's butt.

In fact, you can give out an infinite amount of advice, but you need to understand that even if the matter is simple laziness, if the situation involves simple impatience for work or affairs of a certain kind, or whatever the situation is, there can be a huge number of ways out.

But be that as it may, these thoughts of mine were a kind of lyrical digression, it is up to you to accept my point of view or not. Now back to our sheep.

Is there a magic kick in the ass?

And yet, after so much reasoning, it would be necessary to give at least some intelligible answer: what to do? Perhaps now the slippers of couch analysts will fly at me that they will consider this method invalid - so be it.

Personally, I and those who have tried it in practice can assure the opposite. What points are important in resolving such an unpleasant problem?

Making a to-do list by hand.

Precisely in writing, on a sheet of paper, and not ephemeral plans in my head. And cross things out once you've dealt with them.

Set a specific time to complete them.

On the same sheet, clearly: when you complete a particular task.

Remove / turn off everything that distracts you

Phone, tablet, laptop, without fail social. networks - all this should be frozen for the duration of the work. Nothing should distract you.

Turning off your phone is much easier than you think. And no, no one will lose you, and the planet will not collapse!

Give yourself time to think

What if you don't want anything? If every morning you barely wake up, there is emptiness inside. Neither joy nor anger. Then everything is on the machine, as you are used to. Next - business, other people, duties.

Another groundhog day. Evening on the same program as yesterday. Somehow everything is incomprehensible and uncertain. Here a person lives like everyone else, but he feels himself not like everyone else, in a completely different way, or rather, he doesn’t feel anything at all.

Why don't you want anything? Why is nothing interesting? What to do if apathy constantly accompanies? There are no thoughts in the head, but there is a feeling of meaninglessness, some kind of suffering arises, the emptiness expands. Today the question arose - why you don’t want anything, and tomorrow, if you don’t answer it, your soul starts to hurt.

And here again the day of the groundhog, and everything repeats. Only with each time the feeling of emptiness more and more. Questions begin to arise about the meaning of life. And it would be nice to understand and correct this condition, but how? In any situation, a person feels that he lives and what is happening to him - and here there is nothing but inner emptiness.

And it doesn't matter whether you leave the house or not, work or not. It doesn’t matter what happens next when the question is: “What to do if you don’t want anything?” - the only thing that worries. Interest in life is lost, but why? There is no desire for anything. Kick - you will go, do not kick - you will not go. Relatives begin to demand something. They say that the reason for everything is laziness. But this is not laziness, this is a desire for something else, for something that I could not find at work, at home or when communicating with other people. Something that instantly fills all the inner emptiness.

What does such a person want? Something that does not lie in the plane of ordinary life. Why would he? He himself does not know - is it possible to find what he is looking for? Can!

Why you don't want anything: the reason

Let's get to the bottom of these people. Such people, according to Yuri Burlan's System-Vector Psychology, have a sound vector. A vector is an innate set of desires and properties for their realization. There are 8 vectors in total. It is for people with a sound vector that a state arises when nothing is wanted and nothing is interesting. More on this later.

Let's talk a little about sound people: these are people who are focused on knowing themselves and the world around them. To do this, they are naturally given an abstract intellect, and their desire is directed to the knowledge of the essence itself. They are looking for meaning everywhere, so the professions of people with such a desire are very diverse, for example: physicists, programmers, scientists, chemists, psychologists, and so on.

Since ancient times, such desires and the special structure of the intellect pushed a person to discover physical laws, to search for philosophical answers. And if all this is generalized, it turns out that such people were looking for an answer to the question: “What is the meaning of life?”. And they were satisfied with their search, working and realizing themselves.

What is it that gnaws at a person with a sound vector in our time?

After all, now this question has become especially aggravated, to which the greatest minds of mankind have tried to answer. But they could not, stopping at some gap, or at the top - discovering new laws, they passed on their baton to new and younger people.

And now it's time for the younger generation to answer the question about the meaning of life. But the scourge of modern society - apathy and a state when nothing is wanted and nothing is interesting - overcomes such people. Why?

The answer is simple. A person is arranged in such a way that he has desires and he must fulfill them with the help of his properties and abilities. But it happens that a person does not fulfill his desires and begins to suffer from this. For example, he wants to have an expensive car, but does nothing to achieve his goal, and suffers from this.

Similarly, a person with a sound vector suffers and asks the question: “What to do if you don’t want anything?” - if his desire to unravel the essence of what is happening is not filled. A person consists of many desires, the same person with a sound vector may want both a car and a family, but the sound desire is dominant, and if it is not filled, then other desires do not appear. They seem to be under a dome.

It looks like laziness from the outside, but at the root of this is a state of hidden depression. A person ceases to desire everything and feels in himself a desire for something incomprehensible and unknown, begins to try this and that, but nothing fills him. Emptiness pushes him away from all material concerns in favor of something that will turn his whole life upside down.

What if you don't want anything? And how to get rid of apathy?

The answer is obvious. Fill yourself with meaning.

From the state of latent depression, which manifests itself with questions: “Why don’t you want anything? Why is there no goal in life?”, a state that repels the entire external world, you can enter a state of awareness of yourself and your desires. Then no depression will take the sound engineer, because answering his inner questions, he fills the emptiness that is in him. And as a result, his thoughts change.

This can be done with the help of the training "System-Vector Psychology" by Yuri Burlan. After him, people were able to get out of the deepest depressions and the most difficult conditions. Register now.

Here is a video of some of the results of those who completed the training:

Apathy is a symptom that is expressed in detachment, indifference to the events taking place around. And also in the absence of the desire to do anything. Most often, it occurs after stressful situations, as a protective mechanism of the psyche, which does not break down from nervous overstrain.

First of all, you need to try to find the cause of your condition. Otherwise, there is no point in dealing with the consequences. We will describe some of the reasons:

A turning point in life has come - a midlife crisis. When you realize that you have crossed the age of 30, and this is forever.
A failed personal life is a traditional reason for not wanting to do anything at all.
Adaptation after a strong positive emotional upsurge, for example, after a long trip. It's really hard to return to a gray noisy city, when it was so quiet, beautiful and calm far away. Not everyone can quickly get used to the idea that their life is here. What awaits work, the road to it and back.
professional burnout. This happens when a person works in his profession for a long time, but marks time and does not grow in his career. He has already comprehended all the basics of his current professional status and now leads only a routine existence, fulfilling his duties. Or he just overworked, as he is at work in constant tension.
Be at home for a long time without work or on parental leave. And every day is a repetition of the previous one (Groundhog Day).
We retired from work, which took up almost all our free time and do not know what to do with yourself, what to put your hands on.

Understand exactly what happened. Why did you lose interest in everything? How to deal with laziness and apathy?

Long stay in this state will lead to irreversible consequences. Simply put: life will pass you by. Start working on yourself. If you decide that this mood is caused by stress at work, exclude them:

Connect with colleagues more. It will defuse the situation, cheer you up.
Learn to relax. Do the most uninteresting tasks in the morning, then rest for 20 minutes. Continue the day after lunch with more enjoyable errands. Learn to live at work without seeing it as a punishment. No other way.
Work is an opportunity for self-improvement, self-education. Treat it that way. You gain experience and do things that would not be done without you.

If this is an autumn-winter mood that often torments after a bright sunny summer, color it:

You can go to the gym, swimming pool, dance courses, needlework. Choose an activity for the soul. You can find many on the internet free courses from doll making and knitting to learning foreign languages.
Do a little renovation, hang brighter wallpaper or buy new curtains, rearrange the furniture. There is no strength to overcome your sadness and indifference - paint the world around you.
Hang out with positive, energetic friends more. Those who know how to set up and cheer up.

How to overcome laziness and apathy at home?

If you are sitting at home, you are all too lazy and nothing pleases you - urgently pull yourself together. Otherwise, you will never break out of this circle.

Start by putting things in order. Take out old things, spoiled dishes to the landfill. Distribute to friends or put on sale on the Internet unnecessary clothes, shoes. Free up space in rooms and clean the air. All this accumulated property is depressing.
Now that you have already felt the changes and some surge of strength, energy, continue to save yourself. Make it a rule not just to have lunch or dinner, but to do it beautifully and with imagination.
Do not think that if you are more often at home, then you can look how you want. Get home clothes so that they look no worse than the one in which you go out in public.
Be sure to take a walk before bed if possible, or get off a couple of stops early and walk to work.
Get a dog or other pet. A friend will never let you be sad.
Be sure to get outdoors on weekends. Skiing in winter. In the summer to the river, to the cottage or to the forest for a picnic.
Learn to wake up cheerfully, even if you went to bed late. Perhaps a contrast shower, daily routine will help. At first you will have to force yourself, then you will feel a surge of strength, Have a good mood, because they did not lie in bed until dinner.

In general, apathy is a symptom that people have begun to complain about recently. After all, they simply had no time to think about it before. We began to live well, most of us do not need to grow crops, take care of cattle, make a fire, maintain a household.

How to get out of apathy? What else can be done? Reconsider your attitude to life and stop setting yourself limits that laziness provokes. You can always find time and energy to go to the gym or clean up the house.

Now your main enemy is yourself, you need to understand the following:

No one will come to the rescue and pull you out of this state.
Working on yourself is not easy, but not impossible.
It will be uncomfortable, you will have to break the usual way of life and its stereotypes. But if you don't do that, you won't move.
Learn to take responsibility. In any case, no one else will take it upon themselves.
Make a choice where and in what you need to grow. Follow him.
Start with one problem, don't try to do it all at once.
Natural selection applies here as well. And if earlier the one who was strong and hardy survived, which means that he could feed himself. Today, at the bottom are those who do not know how to control themselves: lethargic, irresponsible, non-initiative people.

If nothing helps, then the problem may be deeper. In this case, you should consult a specialist doctor, because there are practically no irreversible conditions.

So, we hope that you understand: only your desire and hard, painstaking work on yourself will change the situation. That is why we have defined such a concept as apathy. What to do if you don’t want anything and how to live on is now up to you.
