Ever feel like you’re taking two steps forward and then three steps back in your life or business? If you’re wondering, “Are you busy or productive? Break the cycle,” then you need to hear this. Most people struggle with seven key cycles of self-sabotage, but not everyone is ready to understand and shift them. The fact that you’re here means you are ready for a change.
Prefer to watch? I’ve put my video below or if you’re a reader simply continue reading the post.
The Vicious Cycle of Busyness
When you set out to create something, you have a goal and a specific result in mind. However, when you start, you don’t have those results yet, so you naturally don’t feel accomplished. This is where the subconscious mind steps in. To avoid the feeling of being unaccomplished, it creates a new, easier goal to feel productive.
Your subconscious will then fulfill this new goal by getting you busy with a whole bunch of tasks. These tasks make you feel accomplished and productive. You feel like you’re getting a lot of stuff done, but this activity isn’t actually moving you toward your real, original goal.
Unworthiness The Hidden Driver of ‘Hustle Culture’
Deep down, many of us struggle with a subconscious pattern that whispers, “You’re not worthy,” “You’re not good enough,” or “You don’t deserve it.” You might be aware of this and have been trying to heal it. But when that pattern is active, your subconscious can’t let you do the one or two things that will actually get the results you want. Why? Because achieving that result would force it to confront that deeply wounded, underlying pattern.
It’s this core underlying program of unworthiness or a program that says your worth is tied to your output. So as long as you’re busy putting out a whole bunch of stuff, you’re safe from that underlying wound.
So, instead, it keeps you busy doing other things to satisfy the need to feel productive, protecting you from the core wound while simultaneously preventing you from moving forward. This is why you might find yourself constantly busy, pushing, and grinding in your business, spending a lot of time on many things, yet seeing no real forward momentum. Most entrepreneurs are doing everything but the one or two activities that actually drive results.
How Misaligned Chakras Keep You Stuck
Here’s something most people don’t realize. This constant “doing” of other stuff just to feel accomplished and productive actively distorts your root chakra. This initial imbalance then throws your creative chakra (the sacral), your empowered chakra (the solar plexus), and all the rest of your chakras out of alignment.
Consequently, everything you try to empower, create, connect with in your heart, and express through your throat chakra becomes inauthentic and distorted. Your energy is misaligned, pouring into all these other tasks you need to keep busy instead of the actions that will truly bring the results you desire.
Are You Busy or Productive? Break the Cycle.
If you’re ready to shift this pattern, the key is understanding how these cycles land in the seven chakras. By learning how to shift both your chakra system and your mindset, you can completely break free. This allows you to finally do the things that will lead you to the results you want in your life and business.
