Voices: I worry I’m one of life’s ‘underachievers’ – but I love being lazy

‘Is there really something wrong with being content with what you’ve got?’ - (Alamy/PA)

Dear Vix,

This might sound like a bit of a weird problem (or, maybe it’s not a “problem” at all), but my worry is entirely based around whether I’m too lazy. The thing is, I don’t dislike being lazy – in fact, I’d honestly say I love it – but I have this distant voice at the back of my mind giving me a lot of “shoulds”. I “should” be doing more. I “should” be aiming higher. I “should” be doing more exercise, or going out for expensive nights at the theatre, or training for a marathon, or cooking Michelin-starred meals every night.
