Whether you realize it, clutter is a huge energy drainer. While most people think of clutter as being physical stuff, there are many more ways we become exhausted and drained.
My friend Vicky White, Feng Shui and Attraction Coach says, Clutter is anything unfinished, unused, unresolved, tolerated or disorganized. Clutter is energy constipation! It will bog you down and stop the energy flowing in your life and so affect your prosperity, relationships and well-being. It will stop you having the quality of life you REALLY want.
Ask yourself: “Do I love it, do I use it, and does it make my heart sing?” Get a “no”, out it goes!

5 Examples of Physical Clutter:
Piles of papers
Clothes that no longer fit, are old, need repair
Garden is in need of weeding and trimming
Closets are disorganized
Need to see the dentist/doctor
5 Examples of Emotional Clutter:
Unresolved conflict with a friend, family member, or co-worker
Hanging on to a relationships that needs to end
Regretting a commitment
Avoiding response to phone message, emails…..
Beating yourself up for something you judge as bad or wrong
We create tons of emotional clutter with all of the stories we make up in our heads (worry, fear, anticipation…) that we tell ourselves is true!
5 Examples of Financial Clutter:Tax returns are not filed
Spending more than income earned
Overdue bills and credit card debts
Will needs to be drawn or updated
Lack of financial systems - retirement planning, automatic savings plan…..
And by the way, non-action is an energy drain. Whatever we have hanging that we feel needs to be handled takes a portion of our energy every day just to push it away. Over time, it becomes exhausting to make like things aren’t there when they tug at our energy as constant reminders. Imagine walking around with a pebble in your shoe and trying to ignore it. Well, you are if you’ve got clutter!
And, if you are consciously working to manifest things in your life, what do you think you might be attracting or not attracting with all of your clutter????? If your life is so full of stuff, where is there room for anything new to come in?
Many people view March and April as a great time to do some cleaning up and clearing out.
Ready to free up some energy at your end?
Here’s your invitation:
Identify and eliminate your energy drains – what are you putting up with/tolerating? Make a list of things that are undone, incomplete, unresolved, broken, hanging around, being avoided….get the picture?
Consider what your top 5 energy drains might be. Areas might include marketing your business, a specific relationship, a current project, your computer, email…..
Each week, schedule time to tackle your list. Include things that can be handled quickly and chunk down some of the bigger projects into smaller tasks so you can make steady headway. Delegate and get help where you need it. Eliminating and managing your clutter will free up tons of energy to use in those areas that matter most to you. You might be surprised how much more vital, inspired and alive you feel when you lighten up!
Have a terrific day 
Cheers,
Lorraine

Thanks Andrew
It’s an ongoing process! So true how much energy gets freed up when we let things go.
Amazing how quickly stuff can pile up even in small ways. I’m making my own list too!
Cheers,
Lorraine

Hey Lorraine
Sometimes I’m sure you can read my mind and this is one of those times!
Losing clutter really speeds up your mainfestations no end, you are literally making room for things to come in. I see clutter as a “no room an the inn” sign for what you are attracting, not to mention what the clutter itself is drawing to you.
I’m off to declutter….
In love, light and abundance x x x

Synchronicity Lola,
Love how that happens.
You are right on the mark with your comments. De-clutering is ongoing and keeps things flowing!
Have fun

Many great points Lorraine - especially about the emotional clutter that is less easy to notice.

I agree Robert
Emotional clutter can be so draining when we are avoiding and resiting things we know instinctively we need to clear and clean up. We also create emotional clutter with the stories and dramas we create and believe are true! (I just added that to the article).
Here’s to a flowing day
Cheers,
Lorraine

I’m already pulling stuff out to recycle at Goodwill. It feels great to lighten things up and pass them along!
Have fun
Cheers,
Lorraine
