The nattering’s of demotivation from a lazy, parasite infested mind
I feel like I am the most intensely motivated and ridiculously lazy person there is.
Confused?
Me too!
I have a burning desire to see my numerous ideas come to fruition, I love the thrill of challenges and seeing if things can be done the way I visualise it. This part of me indulges in big goals that require years of effort.
And then there is this side to me that just likes to learn. To step in the shoes of every person I meet and see what they do for a day, understand their passion and how things work without any carry over commitment.
Then there is the lazy side.
This is the side that can’t… be… bothered.
Can’t be bothered writing, creating, thinking or doing.
Last week I was working in a Turtle Conservation program (more on that later!) and I never quite made it to see the sloth that was living above one of the huts.
The irony was not lost that I was too lazy to visit a sloth!
Have you seen this sloth? ... Neither have I!
Is this normal? Do you have your Jekyll and Hyde? Do you have a lazy secret shame? Does a big fat lazy parasite sometimes suck out your life and mind?
I wasn’t sure if I would publish this but at least I wrote something today!
More soon… perhaps : )

Normal…Yes
Jekyll and Hyde…Yes
All those feelings you feeling…yes yes yes
I have many visuals all over the house but one that gets me all the time is….”Just do SOMETHING!” lol
For those days when can’t be bothered. Sometimes doing nothing is what my mind and body needs.
You have accomplished so much Serena and inspire me like to infinity and beyond…pat yourself on the back and celebrate your awesomeness and attractiveness. Woohoo
Hmmm never thought about a bucket list (your other post) but will entertain myself tonight with one.
I’m currently on a new journey discovering the richness of own heritage and culture. Feels all kinds of delicious so going on the journey.

That sounds like an amazing journey! Haha I love the Just Do Something quote.
I think you are right about it being what I needed. I was all worried about being demotivated but it turned out that I was just coming down with a bug and have slept for the last two days!

i think it’s mature to acknowledge that occasionally a person needs to just..let…go. the word “chillax” comes to mind – don’t feel guilty about relaxing – you do enough! (and a bit more)
12:02 pm
Haha yeah some chillaxing was in order after all!

It’s yin and yang if you don’t have laziness how will you know when you are motivated. My curse is saying “I haven’t got time now, I’ll do it properly next time.” and I slide into mediocrity.

I wish I was a little like that! I am a perfectionist and so things wait to be perfect rather than just done. Maybe there is a healthy in between somewhere!

I. Am. The. Sloth.

Bwahahaha!You guys made my morning. First I’m laughing about Serena being too lazy to see the sloth and then Tracey takes it over the top. Love you guys!
And trust me Serena, we all have our “sloth” times. There are times I know I should set up a shot, wait for the light, etc. and it would turn out great…but it just seems like too much effort! I think that’s our bodies telling us we need a break. (Just don’t take toooo much of a break right?)
12:07 pm
You are so right about needing a break! If I had been a little logical about it I would have remembered that I was just doing night patrols for the last week and I am wrecked!
Glad we made you laugh!

Hahahaaa damn if I had known it was you Tracey I may have made the effort to visit! Or maybe not
