You may find it difficult to muster up the motivation to apply yourself to the objectives you planned to focus on today. This idleness may be a consequence of latent feelings of fatigue that have been building up in your system for some time as you relentlessly pursued your goals. It is likely that you will feel a continuing compulsion to work, but your efforts will likely come to naught if you are already exhausted. Consider giving in to your lazy feelings by taking a personal day or leaving your workplace early in the day so you can enjoy some leisure time. As you grow increasingly relaxed today, your energy and drive will likely return.

A bout of unexpected laziness is often a signal that we have been working ourselves too hard. The key to recovering lies with our willingness to obey the impulses compelling us to put aside our labors temporarily so that we can engage in activities that are pleasant and restful. Though we may feel somewhat uncomfortable doing this as our natural tendency is to approach our duties with gusto, our later efforts will be much more effective because we are relaxed and well rested. We can avoid the pitfalls of laziness, however, by always striving to include short- and long-term periods of leisure time in our daily schedules. When we are well rested, we will be less apt to heed the siren song of procrastination. The idle feelings plaguing you today will cease to be an issue of contention once you have taken the time to refresh yourself.
