Many people struggle with overcoming lethargy. Their lives slow down as the ailment progresses Gradually they start to notice that their life’s path is approaching a brick wall. Even if things have slipped quite far, they can break the momentum by accepting that they have reached a critical point. Then they’re able to see that the only possible cure for their problem is to break the cycle.

A cycle is a powerful mechanism which compounds speed efficiently. The cycle of listlessness quickly reduces a person to the point where everything is just, ” Too much.” This attitude is what greases the wheels of the lethargy cycle. Which means that you need to find a way to break out of this cycle.

The only way to stop the cycle of defeatist thought is to intercept it with some well thought out questions. Some questions only increase the problem by highlighting the apparent enormity of the situation. Don’t start by asking, “How can I achieve the goals that I have let slide, now that I have let every opportunity pass me by?”

This question would send even the most determined lethargy sufferer into a panic! It is too general, too big and too negative. A question can be a call to action, but it must yield an answer which seems achievable.

It is much better to frame a question that will bring an answer that seems do-able.”How can I start my journey toward achieving my goals by making a small start today?” This question does not suggest that the lethargic person must immediately go out and dig up his entire front lawn to get rid of the dandelions. But he could look online and compare the different kinds of weed killers. He could decide which.

It is very challenging for a person intent on overcoming lethargy to take that first step. But if he can make the initial commitment to completing one small, observable action, he will find himself gathering momentum in his efforts. Each day, new small accomplishments will be made. These successes will slowly snowball into the defeat of the hopelessness caused by the overwhelming inability to act.
