okay so I have been getting constant DMS
about Liz can you make a video about how
to not be lazy how can I be more
productive blah blah blah whatever I'm
going to make this video I'm going to
get really fast into it because I know a
lazy person watching this will even be
too lazy to watch this video so let's
get right into it let's get into the
first point realize that nobody cares if
you're lazy you know what lazy people
are they're the Forgotten ones people
that don't want to do anything with
their lives they're they will always
just end up on the sideline everybody
has problems nobody cares about your
victim mindset and about how life was
hard for you and how unfair it is it's
unfair to everyone okay to everyone
you're not special and life goes on
that's it life moves everyone is busy
with their own lives and so you have to
do the same thing nobody will sit and
pity the pity you literally maybe for
one or two seconds okay like oh that's
sad but like come on we got to get
moving honey I had this uh neighbor in
the country where I grew up and where my
family lives this woman she's literally
like constantly complaining constantly
drinking she's so racist she hates
Muslims and she literally terrorized us
for the whole time we're living there um
and she's constantly just drinking her
life away because you know she's sad and
she can't accomplish anything whatever
blah blah Meanwhile my mom she's
literally immigrant that fled from the
war that came bought us a house is
taking care by her own of five children
and just getting everything done and do
you think she complains no she has no
option to be lazy she has no option to
play the victim you know when lazy goes
out of the door when you're in survival
mode people that need to survive have no
option to be lazy people that are
walking up on the stairs and they can
barely breathe they have no option
anymore than to lose that weight people
that are so vulnerable and their bodies
cannot handle of them being so
underweight have no option but to gain
weight people that have to go to work
because otherwise there's no food on the
table have no option to be lazy you guys
that are just saying that oh I'm just
lazy whatever you're privileged you're
speaking from privilege if you have the
option to be lazy you're privileged hi
guys my name is Liz and welcome back to
my channel in this video I will show you
how to become productive how to overcome
your laziness and yeah so keep watching
before we get into it I want to say a
huge thank you to better hell for
sponsoring this video better help is the
world's largest therapy service and it's
100% online with better help you get
access to over 30,000 licensed and
experienced therapists that can help you
with a wide range of issues get started
you just answer a few questions about
your needs and preferences in therapy
that way better heal can met you with
the right therapist from their Network
then you can talk to therapist however
you feel comfortable whether it's via
text chat phone or video call you can
message your therapist at any time and
schedule a live session when it's
convenient for you if your therapist is
for whatever reason not the right fit
for you you can switch therapist with no
additional charge basically with better
help you get the same professionalism as
an in-person
therapist and this is a therapist that
for you you have way more flexible
scheduling hours and at a way more
affordable off your first month at
betterhelp / Wizard and I've also linked
them down in the description below
another thing you need to realize is the
halo effect the halo effect is basically
when we see like a beautiful person we
will think that oh they are less likely
to do something bad because we associate
someone beautiful with a good person you
know it's the same way the halil effect
also works for successful people so if
we see a successful person we are more
likely to think that that person is
successful in every area of their life
for example they have a successful
business we will also automatically
think they have they're successful in
their relationships they're successful
everywhere we literally start to admire
people that are successful and beautiful
because we think that they have it all
together see you know when you cannot
benefit from the halo effect uh when
you're lazy okay it takes it takes
effort to be beautiful and to maintain
Beauty I remember there was this one uh
supermodel she talked about this she's
like there was this one woman that
commented and said that uh oh why are
you doing all this stuff to take care of
yourself and all these things and she
says I have no other option this is my
career do you think she wants to
literally like watch what she eats go to
the gym do all these procedures to keep
herself in shape probably not like L she
probably not you know she just wants to
sit at home and do nothing as well she
has no option cuz that's her career she
does all that stuff and takes care of
herself she can benefit from the halo
effect same way when somebody goes
through like has their own business it's
working very hard to create wealth for
themselves or Independence or free same
way they have to work very hard to get
all that stuff but see what you guys see
is only the successes and oh she looks
good and oh he has all the money you
guys don't see all the work that comes
like behind it these people have no
option to be lazy yes some people are
born into wealth they have it very easy
and more easy than others I know this is
also a privilege but most people are not
and they also create for themselves some
people come from zero and create it for
themselves you know it takes literally
takes discipline it's you think these
people want to do all that stuff no I
know so many people business owners and
stuff that said like I'm so frustrated I
like but they rather have this than no
Freedom they want the freedom so yeah
then you have to put in the work another
thing is focus on working on your life
force I was watching this uh Netflix
documentary it's on Jonah Hill
psychiatrist uh he's his name is Phil
studs he was basically saying that when
you feel like you're lazy or whatever
the only thing you need to focus on is
your life force what is your life force
First Things First Health and diet you
can focus on moving your body doing some
exercise going to the gym if that's what
you want and the food you put in your
body that's what you have control over
right now make sure it's a foods that
nourish your body make sure it's foods
that don't spike your insulin or spike
your glucose so if if you eat foods like
that that are filled with carbs and
sugar you're going to feel lazy you're
going to like feel like you don't want
to do anything throughout the day
because you feel heavy so think about
nutrition what are you putting in your
body how are you moving your body then
second thing on your life force is your
relationships so what people do is when
they get lazy or they don't feel good
about themselves they basically isolate
I do this I start to isolate myself
right I don't want to be around people
see that's a bad thing you should do
what you actually should do is in that
moment you should connect with people
you should connect with your friends and
family and talk to them about how you're
feeling because that is much better than
Welling in your own self-pity in your
own like feeling bad about yourself
trust me I because I do this all the
time it doesn't work if you don't feel
comfortable telling your friends family
talk to a stranger talk to a stranger
just tell them or tell a therapist talk
to a therapist and tell them how you're
feeling and and whatever you're going
through as humans we need connection if
we isolate ourselves we feel worse we
are social creatures we need connection
with people and the third thing of your
life force is you focus focus on their
relationship with yourself how are you
treating yourself how are you talking to
yourself in your head what are you even
watching what are you watching on your
phone constantly all day what are you
watching what are you engaging your own
mind in what is going on there are you
journaling are you writing down stuff do
you even have a relationship with
yourself and there's also one thing yeah
people they they tell me like oh I can't
manifest when people cannot manifest is
because they are not connected with
their own energy manifesting is
connecting with your own energy and
working with your energy but the reason
that this day and age people can are
unable to do that is because we're
constantly on our phone and we're
constantly distracted or we constantly
go out with people and we're never by
ourselves or we never take the time to
sit with ourselves to meditate to write
things down even writing stuff down if
you just start to write things will come
to you because sometime God speaks to
you your Spirit guides speak to you but
because your mind is constantly racing
you cannot focus on that so you cannot
accept guidance so you feel lost and you
feel like you're alone but you're not
alone you're not alone you're just not
willing to listen if you focus on these
three things health and diet your
relationships to people and your
relationships to yourself then you don't
need anything else if you just keep
continuing focusing on this everything
else will fall into place 100% create
routines in your life and stick to it
have routines we as humans we need
routines see for me I have a a stand
standard morning routine I have a
standard night routine and throughout my
week I know when I'm going to the gym I
know when I'm doing what when I'm
creating content I know these things I
have routines and yes sometimes I don't
stick to my routines but I have a base
and I have always something to get back
to when I go off track most of you
people have no routines and just leave
everything up in the air we don't work
like that you need a structurized thing
you know and some of you I'm going to
call you out as well your house is dirty
yeah you never clean your house one
thing I cannot stand and I cannot work
in is a dirty place I always need to
clean and have a clean space because
honestly a clean space is a clean mind
if your room is a mess right now you go
ahead you stop this video I want you to
clean right now right now cuz that's
huge disrespect to yourself not even
cleaning after yourself there's a reason
why you made this commitment and remind
yourself of that reason if you knew
anything about me my whole life I did
not have social media I was not that
teenager that was on Instagram whatever
I never wanted it never even literally
considered it the only time I've ever
been on social media was to make a
career out of it why did I want to make
make career out of it because I wanted
to help my mom pay her bills and help
her with her finances and help my family
now I'm able to do that see when I get
demotivated and I don't want to do this
anymore and I don't want to do social
media anymore because to be honest to
stand here right now and be judged by by
millions of people of people telling me
that I'm so dumb and what I'm saying is
just common sense and whatever or that
I'm ugly it's not nice okay it's really
not nice and I don't want to be this
center of attention but at the end of
the day I made this commitment to my
myself because I'm not going to let my
family suffer I'm not going to let my
mom suffer they have suffered enough I
have suffered enough we deserve
Financial Freedom and I'm going to
create that for us and the same way
there's a reason why you make that
commitment to yourself remind yourself
why did I even start why did I even want
this goal and you know somewhere down
the line maybe you didn't even want this
goal anymore and you think to yourself I
don't want this okay fine then don't do
it do something else I don't care but
remind yourself if you still want it why
do you want it why did you even start
think about what story are you telling
yourself if you're telling yourself
story oh I can't do this because I'm
just a lazy person yeah that's then how
you will act like a lazy person stop
saying that stop saying that what does
that even mean I'm just a lazy person
what does that mean you think you think
you can use that as an excuse for the
rest of your life okay then go to the
sideline yeah and let people like us
walk through because we don't need you
on our way okay because we're trying to
do stuff you could have been anything
you wanted in your life literally your
mom she carried you 9 months in her
stomach for you to come out and say oh
I'm just lazy some people watching this
are children of immigrants your your
parents have literally rescued your
whole life literally tried to give you
the best life possible for you to sit
here now and be like Oh I'm just too
lazy to do this are you not embarrassed
get a hold of yourself literally you
guys are lazy but then you guys complain
that you don't have the life that you
want don't complain then don't complain
you can literally change your reality at
any second you know any second like
right now if I want to be overlooked and
nobody cares about me give me one month
one month I'm going to eat whatever I
want I'm not going to take care of
myself anymore 100% I'll be overlooked
100% when I walk down the street people
will not look at me the same way 100% I
can then I'm changing my reality I went
from being this person to that other
person you can change your your your
reality is really fast when you start
acting like the person you want to
become but no Liz it's uncomfortable
because then I have to let go of my
toxic boyfriend and this and that but
I'm still going to cry about the fact
that I don't have what I
want another thing you should do is heal
the past and move on listen there's a
lot of people that have experienced so
much trauma and then now they sit and
they're like oh I can't accomplish
anything because I've been through this
I've been through that this and that
okay I've been through a lot as well I
I've literally came two times a person
tried to un alive me was very
traumatizing for me you know what I did
instead of complaining I went to a
therapist I even did hypnotherapist I
went to two years of intensive therapy
and I healed myself from those things
yeah because I don't want to continue my
life be the victim of a trauma I'm not a
victim I don't even want to associate
with it okay I don't want it to be my
story I can change my story around and
honestly ly I'm telling you once again
if you did not hear this in my other
videos if you're a victim of trauma or
abuse or whatever don't just go around
and tell people because they lose
respect for you they lose respect for
you 100% I would have never ever in my
life disclosed this to the internet or
people if if I was not trying to help
people because this is really something
that people lose respect for when you
tell them don't think that they feel
pity for you no they see you as someone
weaker someone that went through
something it's really that but I'm
telling you this is the truth This Is
How They See so for yourself go ahead
heal that heal it takes years yes it
takes years okay sometimes it it goes
fast sometimes it's it's not fast you
can't control that but at least work
towards healing yourself well if you're
constantly living in the past and
reliving it your body literally will
make you physically ill because your
body thinks that you're because you're
feeling those emotions still your body
thinks that you're still in that same
situation your body doesn't know
anything different it only knows what
you're feeling and what you're telling
your body so what you're repeating in
your head what you're feeling inside of
yourself is what your body will create
for you you want a different outcome and
a different future you have to do things
differently not people around you should
change not people around you should
change their behavior you you have the
power to control that you have the power
to control how you react you have the
power to control how you feel stop
blaming other people it's not their
fault yes maybe somebody did something
to you they traumatized you that's on
them okay they will receive their karma
if not in this lifetime in another God
will punish them whatever okay you have
now the responsibility to heal yourself
you do and you take that responsibility
and go to your own Next Level because
when you're stuck in the past and being
ter terrorized by the thoughts of the
past you cannot go forward you cannot
move on another thing is are you lazy or
did you stop progressing like I said in
the other video only reason that people
become happy is because they constantly
progress when people stop progressing
that's when unhappiness becomes like
literally you can be a millionaire
having everything but because they they
don't have anything anymore that excites
them they become depressed as well it
doesn't matter how much money you have
it doesn't matter how much you've
accomplished we constantly need that
drive or something to strive for so ask
yourself am I lazy or do I just not find
excitement in things anymore learn a new
skill then find a new hobby create a new
project do something else that you
haven't tried before or do something
that you used to love pick it up again
you know but don't allow yourself to
stop progressing because when you stop
progressing that's when you stop living
don't allow yourself to be like that too
much information makes us lazy see
because we're constantly scrolling on
every app whatever we're scrolling on
social media we hear this diet is
perfect we hear this is the best shampoo
now this is the best way to do skin care
so we go literally insane because
there's so much information and we don't
want to do anything anymore because we
don't even know what to do there's so much
much
information but because we're so
consumed in that we start to literally
become consumed in other people's
opinions in other people's lives and we
start filling their lives with our
energy that's it and then you wonder to
yourself like huh why do I I not have
any energy for myself left because
you're too consumed in other people's
lives so you're not living your own you
know when I spend the day scrolling on
Tik Tok I don't want to do anything I
don't want to do anything literally I
just literally my brain is fried
completely and I don't I just want to
lay down and do nothing if I decide to
have a lazy day and I call them lazy
days I'll watch Netflix shows I binge
watch them I don't want to do anything
else literally my mind is shut off then
you know if if you are also a person
that constantly goes out and parties
that's it energy drained my love
constantly drained but recently um my
friend she took me out because it was
her birthday so then I thought okay let
me go out I went out with her the whole
night I did not have one thought in my
head and I have a mind that's racing I'm
very very creative I constantly have
ideas in my head and I constantly also
get messages in my head that whole night
I had no idea nothing nothing my mind
was blank it was almost like I was like
brain that or something I was just
standing there like you know what
happens too many energies around you too
many energies and you're they're
completely draining it so that's why
sometimes in order for you to create or
or in order for you to be productive you
need to be in solitude you need to be
alone you need to realize that feelings
are not always right okay feelings are
just feeling you see if we all just
react out of emotions I think everyone
would just un alive each other oh you
made me angry I'm so angry let me get
something and just un alive you you
might feel like right now oh my heart is
broken I will never find something like
that again no you will okay you will you
just feel right now really bad so what
do you do you feel the feelings you let
them Purge yeah feelings Purge by you
feeling them if you're going to repress
what you feel and you feel like oh I
shouldn't be crying about this I should
be tough nope you're going to store
those feelings inside of your body and
they're going to come up later as
physical illness you cannot do that to
yourself if you feel bad right now and
you feel like you want to cry or you
want to scream you do that because that
is releasing your emotions if you feel
like you need to sleep a lot right now
sleeping is also healing there is a
reason why your body needs sleep because
it's trying to heal the feelings Purge
let your body heal but once that's done
also get up and do something okay don't
stay there and dwell there for too long
and it's also like oh I feel like I
don't want to do this but what like what
do you feel and what do you want okay
cuz if you feel like like oh I want to
eat that uh whatever I want to eat
unhealthy this and that but then you
want that dream body of yours it doesn't
correlate you need to have discipline my
love like you know you can't just
consume into what you're feeling and
then expect what you want to happen to
happen it doesn't work like that another
thing is courage is being vulnerable
courage is going out and meeting meeting
new people and putting yourself out
there and being vulnerable
it might not feel good to you because
honestly this I'm just speaking for
myself right now I isolate myself I
constantly isolate myself anyone that
lives like where I live will tell you I
don't come out any of my friends will
tell you I I do not leave my place you
know do you think that's courageous of
Me no I'm trying to protect myself but
because I'm trying to protect myself and
I'm scared of being vulnerable I don't
live any experiences and life is just
going by like this I'm young I'm
supposed to be living my life I'm
supposed to be meeting people getting my
heartbroken I'm supposed to have
experience I don't have any of these
because I'm so afraid of getting hurt or
betrayed by friends you think that that
that's happiness no you're not living
you know and it makes you lazy as well
cuz you're like okay I'm just not going
to do anything I'm not going to surround
myself with people I'm not going to try
to do anything that's not courageous that's
that's
weak courage is being vulnerable go out
there meet new people people I'm not
saying do something risky and then put
yourself in danger but do something that
normally you would feel uncomfortable
doing or you rather prefer not doing it
another thing is learn to ask for help
or learn to accept help see most of you
guys' issues is the fact that you don't
accept help oh my God like I have so
many people around me that are like no I
don't want help I don't want help and
then they struggle so much to accomplish
this thing meanwhile I could have fixed
it for them in one second you need to
start accepting help from people
sometimes God sends these people to help
you okay that's how you have to see it
and you have to receive and then you
like if you don't you get angry you're
like God you never helped me like why
don't you help me then God says like I
send this person to help you and you
refuse them how do you want God to help
you also ask help from God ask help ask
help you will receive help in very
miraculous ways I've done it myself I
always do it another thing is be
productive on your own terms think about
what does productivity look like for me
if I say for example go to the gym do
this do that but you think like but
that's not what I want to do like I
don't want to go to the gym I don't want
to do these things okay fine that's not
for you that's not how you are
productive you have a different sense of
productivity so think to yourself what
is productive for me what do I think
would be like oh okay I'm a productive
person if I do these things what are
your goals create that productivity
mindset for yourself and create a vision
of what that looks like for you don't
listen to these other people because
what works for them might not work for
you because that's not what you want
other thing is are the people around you
draining your energy if you have toxic
friends if you have toxic family members
and you're constantly just engaging with
them you're constantly just around them
you're going to feel bad look at the
people look when you feel bad what
people are around you when you feel your
worst and sometimes even you start to
hate yourself around certain types of
people there is certain types of friends
that bring out a side in you that you
don't like about yourself watch out for
these kinds of people because you might
feel like when I'm around them why do I
behave like this you know you're getting
influenced by them so it's better to
distance your yourself and when you are
more stable in who you are and and you
don't get influenced by others easily
then if you want you can be like friends
and stuff because they cannot do
anything you know it doesn't affect you
but when you are easily influence
distance yourself from these kind of
people if you have toxic family members
distance yourself make sure you can stay
away as much as possible and focus on
the things that you can focus on right
now nobody can make you feel anything
nobody can make you feel sad bad upset
whatever you can only do that to
yourself you have control over how you
feel if for example one person when I
used to be younger and I didn't know
this knowledge when somebody made me
angry I would think like oh they're so
bad like I hate them whatever they did
this with ill intent yeah and I would
get angry now when somebody does
something to me I think to myself well
then there must be something that
they're judging in me because they're
judging it in their themselves they're
projecting there's something wrong maybe
something I I have a different kind of
understanding and I have compassion for
this person I I feel sad for them it's a
different energy and it's a different
feeling and why can I control that
because I control how I feel I can feel
sad for them if I want you know I can
also feel happy that they show their
true colors to me so change your
perspective on things how do you how do
you view this person how do you view
this situation same way if you're going
through a breakup you can see it as like
oh my God it was the last man on earth I
cannot live without him blah blah blah
or you can see it as like oh okay our
souls Were Meant to cross because we
were meant to teach each other something
in this lifetime and then we meant were
meant to separate because it was not
meant to be forever in this
lifetime that's it he learned his lesson
I learn I learned my lesson and now we
can go our separate ways and go to the
level that we were both meant to be at
and last but not least Focus focus on
the things that you can do I always hear
people oh I can't do this oh my God I
can't I what can you do what can you do
what are you good at huh tell me three
things right now what can you do think
about these things what can I do what am
I good at what am I passionate about
what makes me happy who makes me happy
you know be be grateful for these things
realize you can do a lot and remind
yourself of what you actually can do
anyways guys thank you so much for
