Lesson 22: Stuck Energy

Clutter is not just the stuff that spills out of drawers. It is any thing, or thought, that makes us feel off center and rattles our cage.
— Stephanie Bennett Vogt

Introduction to this new theme is more to reflect on what is about to come. I have never really thought about clutter to include thoughts and feelings that restrict us. Being part of this course definitely has opened me up to that concept - not only physical but mental clutter. By becoming more aware and looking at my situation as an observer, it really triggers to let go of things, because you have less attachment. Doing things bit by bit may seem like a slow process but there are massive gains to be won. I try not to cloud my mind with negative thoughts and focus on what I can do to be better. It’s those moments when you are alone and let your mind wander, is where those thoughts can start to fester. I think keeping busy with creativity or hobbies that really start a spark within you, stop those thoughts from coming about. There is so much to be grateful for and I always try to remember that.
