Laziness

Sanskrit Name:
Ālasya
Devanagari:
आलस्य

Short Summary

Heavy, unmotivated, stuck in low gear—even simple moves feel uphill.

Full Description

Ālasyais the heaviness that resists effort. It favors comfort over growth and hinders steady progress.

Try this: commit to two minutes. Start the timer. Often momentum shows up once you begin.

Remedy: Energizing effort. Counter heaviness with light movement, breath, or a single intentional action.
