Have you ever sensed that your life is at a standstill…or worse, regressing? Despite your sincere efforts, an unseen force seems to hinder your progress or divert your path?

Recently, I experienced exactly that sensation. My energy levels plummeted. Motivation seemed to vanish entirely. My well-being was suffering.

Even while engaging in all the “correct” actions—assisting others, staying true to my purpose, and striving for my highest good—everything felt burdensome, heavy, suffocating, immobilized.

In a quiet moment of letting go, I finally sat down and inquired of my guides, “What am I overlooking here?”

The response I received was strikingly straightforward, yet incredibly enlightening:

“It’s time to eliminate the clutter…to enable your progress.”

Initially, I was taken aback. What? Seriously? However, after some thoughtful introspection, the wisdom of this guidance from spirit began to resonate within me.

The concept of clutter is often associated with disorganized spaces, crowded surfaces, or brimming closets, but its implications extend much deeper.

Clutter can build up in our minds, emotions, energy fields, and spirits. It might not always be apparent, but it burdens us. It can obstruct intuition, dampen our enthusiasm, and erect unseen barriers that prevent us from realizing our divine potential.

As I delved deeper into my thoughts, I recognized how the mental clutter of unresolved emotions, incomplete tasks, past disappointments, and lingering fears had formed a fog between me and my inner clarity. Each minor deviation from my intentions accumulated over time, distancing me from my higher self and true alignment. When one objective fell out of sync, it created a domino effect affecting everything else.

This wasn’t something happening to me due to the external world. It wasn’t just bad luck or chaotic surroundings. It was me—unintentionally allowing the clutter to amass and permeate my energy.

So, I did what I know to be effective. I trusted the advice and began to cleanse and declutter my heart and mind.

I sat in stillness, concentrating on my breathing, and with every inhale, I welcomed divine love and light. With every exhale, I let go of clutter—mental noise, emotional remnants, and negative energies that weren’t mine. I generated a sphere of pure love around me and called upon Archangel Michael to envelop my energy field in his protective embrace. I regained control of my auric space.

And a shift occurred. I felt it immediately. Lighter. Clearer. More connected.

In that sacred stillness, I recalled an essential truth: we are the stewards of our own energy vibration. It is our duty—and sacred privilege—to keep our inner environments orderly. When we achieve this, we reconnect with our soul’s rhythm and the flow of the universe. We allow for easier manifestation. We feel anchored once again in the clarity of our path and soul purpose.

If you feel blocked, misaligned, or energetically depleted, it may not be that you are lost or failing. You might just be cluttered! Clearing that energetic clutter isn’t limited to a seasonal clean of your home—though that is impactful too. It involves detoxifying your spirit from everything that no longer benefits you.

You might be asking where to start. How do you clear clutter on every level—physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual? Here are some actionable steps you can take today to reclaim your energy and move ahead with clarity and grace:

Practice daily mindful silence: Even just a few minutes can help you reset and connect with what’s truly happening inside. Allow your intuition to lead more than your logic—your heart always understands the truth of your soul’s journey.

Center on your breath: Try this simple mantra – breathe in love, breathe out clutter – to focus your mind and clear your energy field.

Declutter a physical space or area: Tidy up just one drawer, corner, closet, or surface in your home or office. Donate items that no longer serve you to create room for fresh blessings. Bless the belongings you decide to keep to further imbue your surroundings with divine love and light.

Purify your environment: Utilize a crystal grid, smudge with sustainably sourced sage or palo santo, perform a sound cleanse with Tibetan bowls, sprinkle salt or holy water, or diffuse essential oils to refresh and elevate the energy of your home or workspace.

Conduct a soul inventory: Journal about thoughts, habits, or emotions that are misaligned with your highest good and set the intention to release them. Write in your journal before bedtime to clear mental clutter and allow your subconscious to heal while you sleep—it’s far better than “doom scrolling” through your phone!

Establish an energetic shield: Each morning, call upon Archangel Michael or your chosen guide or higher power to envelop you in divine protection and light.

Sever energetic cords: Visualize cutting the connections between yourself and anyone or anything that feels burdensome, draining, or unnecessary in your life.

Engage in a digital detox: Eliminate digital clutter by unsubscribing from emails and unfollowing online content that does not contribute to your growth or peace. Or even better, take a break from being online altogether. Step away from the news, social media, or gossip to let your energy field reset and retune to positivity.

Release outdated goals: Let go of old aspirations and intentions that no longer align with the person you are evolving into or where you wish to direct your life.

Extend forgiveness to yourself and others: Offer forgiveness to yourself and others, not because they merit it, but because your soul deserves freedom.

Reconnect with nature: Walk barefoot, sit beneath a tree, or breathe deeply in nature to realign your energy with Earth’s rhythm. If you can’t venture outside or don’t have a safe place, try a guided nature meditation or start a windowsill herb garden.

Embrace the power of no: Reclaim your time and energy by declining what drains or burdens you and saying yes only to what inspires or nourishes your spirit. Affirm your boundaries and practice being genuine in your yes and no to safeguard your energy and maintain your spiritual integrity.

Release the past through a ritual: Write down what you wish to let go of and safely burn the paper or bury it in your garden as a symbol of surrender and spiritual renewal.

Hydrate and nourish your body: Drink ample water, eat with intuition, and treat your body as the sacred vessel that it truly is.

Engage in self-care: Prioritize joy by doing something that nourishes your soul, is playful, or brings peace—just because it feels delightful!

Is Your Life Feeling Stagnant? Consider Clearing the Clutter!

Do you sometimes feel like your life is stuck in a loop? Are you continuously on the lookout for ways to spark excitement and energy into your daily life? If so, it might be time to examine the clutter surrounding you.

Clutter can show up in various forms, both physical and mental. It may be that overflowing closet you’ve been intending to organize for ages, the stack of unread books on your nightstand, or the ever-growing to-do list. However, clutter extends beyond just physical items; it can also encompass the negative thoughts and feelings that weigh heavily on you.

So how does clutter influence our lives? Primarily, physical clutter can serve as a constant reminder of tasks left incomplete and goals unmet. It can foster a sense of overwhelm, making it challenging to focus on what truly matters. A disorganized setting can sap our energy and hinder our ability to relax and unwind.

Likewise, mental clutter can be just as harmful. When our minds are filled with worries, regrets, and negativity, it becomes difficult to achieve clarity and make sound choices. Mental clutter can also elevate stress, anxiety, and even lead to depression.

Now that we comprehend how clutter affects our lives, it’s time for action. Here are a few strategies to help you clear the chaos and reinvigorate your daily routine:

1. Begin with your physical space: Start by decluttering one specific area at a time. Whether it’s your bedroom, kitchen, or workspace, focus on one spot and sort items into three categories: keep, donate/sell, and toss. Be decisive and only retain items that genuinely bring you joy or serve a practical function.

2. Clear your digital chaos: Our digital lives can be as cluttered as our physical environments. Allocate time to organize your emails, eliminate unnecessary files, and tidy up your social media accounts. Unsubscribe from newsletters and notifications that no longer serve you. A tidy digital space can diminish distractions and boost productivity.

3. Release emotional clutter: Take a moment to contemplate any negative feelings or thoughts that may be cluttering your mind. Engage in mindfulness or journaling to help identify and let go of these emotions. Seek assistance from friends, family, or a therapist if necessary. Remember, it’s alright to release what no longer benefits you.

4. Simplify and prioritize: Reflect on your commitments and responsibilities. Are there tasks or obligations that can be delegated or removed? Learn to decline engagements that don’t align with your values or objectives. Simplifying your schedule will free up room for activities and relationships that genuinely enhance your joy and fulfillment.

5. Foster a clutter-free mindset: Finally, focus on cultivating a clutter-free mentality. Practice gratitude and concentrate on the positive elements in your life. Surround yourself with individuals who uplift and inspire you. Embrace minimalism and release the notion that material possessions define your worth. Remember, a clutter-free existence starts from within.

Clearing the clutter in your life is not simply a one-off task; it’s an ongoing journey. Regularly assess your physical and mental spaces to keep them free of clutter. By doing this, you’ll create a more serene and satisfying life, providing space for growth, joy, and fresh experiences. So, what are you waiting for?
