How to get over I don't feel like it

I  noticed that lately and for the past few years I have been saying I don’t  feel like it , it can be  the most simple or most complex task and I just won’t do it because I didn’t like it. I recognize this was hurting me more than it was helping me. I’ve cancelled on all of my friends  in the name of self care or being a homebody but I am now realizing I was actually self sabotaging. Often times I would show up just to support the people I love and I realized that I was actually enjoying myself. So why was I so determined to stay home when I knew that I would have fun if I went out. Most days If I don't work  or go to school I will stay home all day and say something like “ I Love being home,"  but this cant be good for me? I  I noticed that I am very lazy , I want to have a easy going as possible life , I like to go with the flow . But sometimes things need planning . When I think of the  person  woman I want to be she isn’t lazy. She gets her stuff done, she is very productive and proactive.  So now that I know that what I am doing is not good for me how do I get over I don't  feel like it 


Do it anyway.
 The things that you are putting off because you don't feel like still need to be done sooner or later , you only waste your time by continuously putting it off. When I was younger I use to schedule out my day and I was the most productive I ever been. I want to get back to my scheduled days . When you make a schedule you can schedule down time  as well as time to do the things you don't feel like doing. When you make a schedule you are motivated to stay on track with the schedule .

Go for a short amount of time
If there is a place or social gathering you are nervous about attending or just don't feel like it  , make a plan to go and stay for a short period of time. Plan to take a couple of pics, and have an escape plan. The cool thing about this is no one ever has to know the true reason why you're leaving , you can make up an excuse of having another party, or just say bye to people and leave without explanation. Do what feels best for you. 

Small breaks 
If there is a big task  you have to to do such as cleaning or studying  you can always try the pomodoro technique which is where you do the task for 25 minutes then take a five minute break. You repeat this 4 times then you can take a 15-30 minute break . This technique is proven to be effective. Over 2 million people have already used the Pomodoro® Technique to transform their lives, making them more productive, more focused and even smarter. If you often find you cant focus on a task for long without getting bored pomodoro might be perfect for you.

Reward yourself
 For everything you do that you don't feel like it , reward yourself. The reward can be anything from a break to a food to a gift for yourself but motivate yourself and reward yourself. Tel your self if I finish this then I can have …xyz use that as your motivation to get over I don't feel like it.
