Busywork is action for the sake of action, believing that you have to take action to manifest your intention into the physical world. Busywork is hard work - there is effort and struggle involved. And at the end of the day, not much changes in your world.

Inspired action, on the other hand, involves taking a step back and getting out of your own way. As you become more present, and aligned with the energy of your intention, you will feel inspired to take certain action steps. These may not be the steps that your logical egoic mind would have taken, but they will be highly effective in assisting you with manifesting your intention. Compared to busywork, inspired action is easy and effortless and there is joy involved every step of the way. At the end of the day, your world changes considerably.

This makes so much sense to me.

If you are living thinking your fear-based, limiting beliefs are reality, then likely you won't take any action. I have not taken action because of fear and limiting beliefs many times in my life.

OR... you WILL take action but it's still fear-based (busywork, feeling like you have to do this and this and this...).

I have been meditating every morning and I have been thinking and writing my intentions down. Not empty chants or "fake positives" but just staying optimistic about life, and not living as I WAS but living as I am (want to be).


LIke anything, this will be deeply personal. Your beliefs are your reality. For instance, I personally do not believe I can provide an invaluable service by sitting on my couch and dreaming about it. Maybe others can, though. What do I know?? lol

BUT... my actions I am taking feel spirt-led. The outcomes are magical and go way beyond my dreams. I am stepping out of what used to be my comfort zone and I have created a new comfort zone where I am confident to go forth. I am not hounding people about my business, I am just providing a service and they are responding. But, yes, it is taking action on my part. But I love every bit of it!!!
