Clutter Means Stuck, Stuck, Stuck


"Clutter is stuck energy. The word clutter derives
from the Middle English word clotter,
which means to coagulate -
and that's about as stuck as you can get."

Karen Kingston

It's easy to think that clutter isn't that big of a deal.

It's just stuff, right?

Nope.

Your clutter is NOT about your stuff.

The stuff is just an external representation of what's going on inside of you.

When you have things in your environment (whether it's junk in your garage or activities on your calendar or any other level of clutter) that are no longer doing you any good, something is stuck.

As Karen Kingston so eloquently points out, the word clutter is derived from the word coagulate.

Let's dig a bit further, shall we? :)

Here are a couple of dictionary definitions of 'coagulate:'

• to change from a fluid into a thickened mass

• curdle; congeal

• clot, set

• solidify, thicken

Lovely, isn't it?

None of that sounds like being in the flow or opening to abundance or allowing for creativity to me.

Clutter is about being stuck. Being stuck in the past. Stuck with old ideas. Outdated things. Stuff that no longer fits.

Things that serve your life NOW have a delight to them, a flow, an easy quality. A lightness.

Imagine everything in your life, in every area, having that light, airy, abundant feel.

And how much easier it would be to do the things that truly ARE important to you.

And what a difference it would make in your work, in your business, in your relationships, in your entire life.

Makes you kinda feel like you could fly, doesn't it?
