I love when you said God should be the first thing on your mind when you wake up and when you go to bed. SO GOOD🙌🏼

According to Thomas Aquinas cowardice is also a part of sloth which I found fascinating since I always found it prideful. I actually think this applies to so many people, including me to an extent. I tend to get really brave when I'm online, but I'm silent irl.

The tie-in to workaholism or any wasteful activity as an indication of sloth helped my understanding a lot! I’m now thinking of sloth as doing anything other than what is of moral quality.

I remember reading from Peter Kreeft about the paradox of sloth producing busyness. Quote - "To have our primary need, our need for meaning denied is terrifying. This terror is so great that it must be pushed into the unconscious by *sloth* , or we would go insane. So we cover it up with busyness."

Sloth, according to Damascene (De Fide Orth. ii, 14) is an oppressive sorrow, which, to wit, so weighs upon man's mind, that he wants to do nothing; thus acid things are also cold. Hence sloth implies a certain weariness of work, as appears from a gloss on Psalm 106:18, "Their soul abhorred all manner of meat," and from the definition of some who say that sloth is a "sluggishness of the mind which neglects to begin good."

Guilty!!! Thank you for this wake up call Amber. Love your videos

Thanks for making this video. It's shown me which of the seven deadly sins I commit regularly and have done most of my life. It helped me connect the dots as to how this particular sin has contributed to other sins I've committed. I'm going to confession for my first time this week and this has really helped me to find out which sins i need to confess to. Thanks and God Bless.

Terrific post, Amber! Spot on! God and love first! Thank you for mentioning the importance of attending Mass. God is always the first thing and last thing I think of everyday. The struggle is the rub. God Bless and thank you!

Clicked very fast as this is one I think I have issues with laziness, so I think I have issues with sloth. I don't have issues with the earlier examples you've given, but I enjoy romantic asian dramas and politics etc. and it can be addictive, while there is work that needs to be done (I don't have issues with certain duties like mass or caring for family members, regardless of feelings, but more with other tasks I know should be done ...or getting into good habits/routines/sleep, on with work for a project). It is a struggle, so I get things done, but it is an uphill struggle to start getting on with things. Sadly I haven't found a easy solution, it's easy to say, but it's another thing to do it and get on with it. Easier said than done, I've been trying for weeks now, I tell myself the same things as you've mentioned here. Any other practical tips would be appreciated from people here. The only thing I've found that works ...is just get on a do it, no shortcuts or tricks, just get on with it, go go go. Sadly it hasn't worked these weeks, I haven't been able to recently, but hopefully this will change from tomorrow onwards (I've been saying this each day the last few days, but may this time be the positive change/improvement)! Good luck to me and everyone else struggling with this!

What we give to the poor,is what we take with us when we die.

Very informative video! I will pray that you overcome sloth.

So true

I love this video and learned a lot. Thank you 🥰🙏🏼💕

Lol I'm living intentionally! (= The morning offering prayer helps me alot to focus on my daily routine(s) and goals that I aspire to. I go to mass at least 3 times a week and confession more than usual because as you mentioned before in your other videos , the spiritual attacks are real! And I also schedule my days using my phone. Spiritual books are the best! 📚 I'm currently Reading the autobiography of Padre Pio and I'm amazed at all the trials He endured during His lifetime for the salvation of souls! Another great video Amber! Stay Blessed! Much ❤️ And Prayers for You and Your fiance! ✨️🙏🕊 Gracias!

💯% Very good examples 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

Great video. Congratulations on your engagement. Praying for you and your fiance.

Oh my gosh. Sloth is probably my hardest sin I work on. I have the Holy Days scheduled in my calendar so I don't schedule anything else. And if there is something going on during the weekend, I always make sure that I go to either Saturday or Sunday mass. I've been trying to get my bedtime routine down and yup - easier said than done! LOL. Plus I cannot sit down in front of the TV unless I have all the stuff done I wanted to do, otherwise it doesn't get done. That's probably the hardest for me. This was a good video!

Great video, Amber! Praying for you!

Good day amber❤ Please you promised that you were going to make a video on virtues Please am anticipating😊😊

This is very helpful, thank you so much! ❤

Loving this series! Good job! 🙏🏽✝️❤️

I love your videos! They are so informative and help me to better understand what areas I need to improve on in my spiritual life

I love this series, this video and the last one about pride, have teaching me so much, and have helped me to identify that actually I have those sins :)) but it's okay, I'm going to start to fight against it, through God, the only way.

Yup. This is me. Thanks for helping me recognize that, Amber ❤

I've always known that I struggle with sloth, however I was operating on that more generic understanding of it. I learned so much in this video and I'm starting to see just how much more I struggle with sloth than I had even realized. Amazing video, thank you and God bless.

totally making you part of my religion 8th grade lessons this year!

Well, I feel better!! A bit better anyway about being a sloth - in the good way! Prayer, spiritual readings, Catholic videos and audiobooks etc - all while being tired and lazy. 😅

Everything your saying is true

Great video and I like your homie background 🧡

Where can I find more information about this, if you don't mind asking. How do you tell the difference between burnout and needing rest versus sloth and laziness? Love your videos

It's actually pronounced sloth.

Hi Amber. Good points. I hope you can do a video on Islam. May Allah bless you.

I definitely struggled with sloth. I procrastinate on my school work and prayer life. But going to morning mass really does help me stay focused and motivated throughout the day.

Thats so me :( Great video coming from an orthodox :)

Grimd culture, hustle culture

And here I just thought it was ADHD

Hello! What happen to the 7 deadly sins series? I was enjoying it. Seen Pride and Sloth. Did I miss something? I hope all is well! God bless ✝️

very informative. but you said you neglect your family to work. i was under the impression you werent married at this time.

Ya'll killing me with the definitions, but I get it. A dollar is a dollar, doesn't matter if it goes to a stripper or Sunday tithe.

She said sloth... Kristen Bell sloth meltdown. Now I'll need to rewatch the entire video.
