Breaking Free from Laziness

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

“One must elevate oneself by one’s own mind, not degrade oneself. The mind alone is the friend and the enemy of the self.”
— Bhagavad Gita 6.5
I imagine my perfect space for reading and writing as a quiet room simple, intentional, and deeply personal. A room that holds a small collection of books I return to again and again, not to escape into ideas, but to practice them on myself.
These are books that demand application. Books that ask me to change.
In this space, I continue to experiment with Sadhguru’s teachings, not blindly, but sincerely testing them within my own body and mind. I practice yoga consistently, allowing discipline to replace discomfort, awareness to replace restlessness. I believe that through sustained practice, pain, sickness, and long-held inner dust can slowly dissolve.
This room is also where I commit to my writing. I write two blog posts a day, not chasing perfection, but consistency. I am deeply grateful for my 205 subscribers, who have supported me since October 2023 when I began with just one subscriber. Their encouragement gave birth to my book, The Collection. My wish is not merely to gain more readers, but for readers to witness and perhaps resonate with the improvement happening within me.
Yet honesty demands confession.
Though I sometimes appear confident, I recognize how much I have dragged procrastination along since 2018. I have reread my old plans, revisited courses I once signed up for with hope, and recognized that I knew what I needed to do but delayed myself anyway.
Recently, something shifted.
I finally completed a long-pending goal from 2018 clearing the second-layered bed in my first room, stacking it properly, covering it, and reclaiming space. I threw away an old car prospectus I had uselessly kept for over a year, collecting nothing but dust. These were not just physical actions; they were decisions to stop living in mental storage rooms.
I confronted a painful truth: living on “later” had turned me into someone who consumed potential instead of creating value. The “do it later” habit has never served me. Nothing meaningful has ever grown from it.
I closed my eyes and consciously manifested the breaking of that stagnation. A goal frozen since 2018 finally moved—physically and internally.
Another burden surfaced: 45 free courses left untouched since 2020. Instead of drowning in guilt, I chose movement. I completed three courses, scored 80 marks, and reclaimed a sense of dignity that only action can restore.
This is not perfection. This is progress.
I am learning that I don’t need permission, ideal conditions, or future motivation to change. I need discipline, space, and honesty. I can build a positive environment one that protects focus and encourages growth without interruption.
And I choose to continue.

“Therefore, arise! Shake off this weakness of the heart. Stand up and act—without clinging to past victories or resting on earned praise.”
— Inspired by Bhagavad Gita 2.3 & 2.47

I am done resting on laurels.
I am choosing effort over delay, action over intention, and presence over procrastination.
