You are not lazy! A practical guide to increasing motivation

Irina Chudnovets - child and adolescent psychologist, ICF certified coach, author of courses and articles, mother of three teenagers.

Who is this book for?
First of all, for you. For the teenager who has a ton of plans but lacks both strength and time. For those who want to prepare for exams, implement projects, engage in sports, but every time finds a thousand excuses. For those who dream of doing everything while lying on the couch with a phone in hand. And you will understand why this is normal!
Secondly, for parents. Those who are constantly "urging", saying "get it together" and do not understand why it does not work. Those who want to help, but don't know how and only frustrate. It is also useful for them to know that you are not lazy, but simply your brain is set up a little more cleverly than it seems.
From the book you will learn:
• why the brain sabotages your plans and how to outsmart it;
• how to turn the boring "must" into the desirable "want";
• what to do when everything is boring, and why this is normal;
• how to allow yourself to rest without feeling guilty.
And yes, there are memes, comics, and challenges here. And there are no moralizing or tediousness. Only what really works: psychological techniques, exercises, and checklists.
What seems to you a weakness can actually become your superpower. You don't need to break yourself - figure out how your brain works, and then nothing will stop you on your way to your goal!
