Are you feeling stagnant? Like you’re stuck in a rut?
Sometimes life flows along beautifully… and then suddenly it feels like someone has put the energetic handbrake on.
Nothing is happening.
Nothing is moving.
And you feel like you’re pacing around the same spot in your life.
Before you panic and assume the universe has forgotten your address, let me reassure you.
This often happens during what I call the consolidation phase of manifesting.
The Manifestation “Waiting Room”
During the consolidation phase, the energy of your desire is already moving into place.
But you’re not quite in full alignment with it yet.
So things feel… quiet.
Like you’re sitting in the waiting room of manifestation.
The problem is that when people feel stuck, they often try to force the outcome they want.
And forcing energy almost always makes things worse.
What works far better is shifting your energy slightly.
A Simple Way to Shift Stagnant Energy
One thing I often suggest to my clients when they feel stuck is surprisingly simple.
Do something different.
It doesn’t need to be related to your manifestation at all.
But it should meet two conditions:
- It’s something you don’t normally do
- It feels slightly uncomfortable
Now before you panic, uncomfortable doesn’t mean climbing Everest or running a marathon.
It simply means:
- slightly inconvenient
- a little outside your comfort zone
- something that requires a bit more effort than usual
And one of the best ways to shift stagnant energy is…
Decluttering
Decluttering is one of the simplest energetic shifts you can make.
Over the years I’ve said that any action you take should be aligned with who you are at the level of the Soul.
And decluttering works for everyone.
No matter how you are wired.
Why?
Because clearing space physically often clears space energetically.
Which brings me to a story Bob Proctor told in his book, “Born Rich”.
The Vacuum Law of Prosperity
Bob Proctor talked about something called the Vacuum Law of Prosperity.
He once told a story about his Aunt Marg, who was complaining about the drapes in her living room.
She said:
“I absolutely detest those old drapes.”
Bob replied:
“No you don’t, Marg. You love them. Otherwise you wouldn’t have kept them so close to you.”
Marg was understandably confused.
How could she possibly love something she clearly disliked?
Bob explained that anything we keep around us is something we are in harmony with.
If Marg truly despised those drapes, she would have taken them down, cleaned them, and given them away.
Naturally you’re asking the obvious question.
“What if she couldn’t afford new drapes?”
Bob turned to Marg’s husband and said:
“Don… you will never hang new drapes until you make space for them.”
In other words:
You must create the vacuum before something new can appear.
Eventually Marg and her husband did exactly that.
And yes… they ended up with lovely new drapes.
Because apparently nobody enjoys living in a fish bowl.
Back to Decluttering
Decluttering is simply the act of clearing anything you are no longer in love with.
Anything you no longer want to be in energetic harmony with.
So what could you declutter?
Here are a few ideas.
Simple Ways to Declutter
- Declutter your email inbox – how many emails are sitting there from 2007 that no longer need to exist?
- Clear out a kitchen cupboard – if you haven’t used it in two years, it probably isn’t essential to your happiness.
- Donate clothes you keep saying you’ll wear “one day”. If it’s been waiting 15 years, the day has passed.
- Clean out a room that feels cluttered or chaotic.
- Tidy your desk or workspace.
- Clean out your car.
- Clear your fridge and pantry of foods that don’t support your health.
- Reduce contact with people who drain your energy.
- And if you’re trying to manifest a relationship… but still have an ex lingering around… well…
Let’s just say that Mr Right may be waiting for you to clear the energetic waiting room.
The Final Step Most People Forget
Once you’ve decluttered something, there’s one final step.
Watch for feedback.
Pay attention to what begins to shift in your environment.
You have just cleared stagnant energy and created space for something new.
And when you do that, life often responds surprisingly quickly.
Watch for:
- new opportunities
- unexpected conversations
- fresh ideas
- new connections
- sudden inspiration
Often these shifts appear within 1 to 3 days.
Not because it’s magic.
But because you changed your energetic relationship with your environment.
And when you change the energy…
Your reality eventually follows.
Want Help Rewiring the Patterns Behind Your Results?
Decluttering is a powerful first step.
But sometimes the real reason we feel stuck has nothing to do with our cupboards, inbox, or wardrobe.
It’s because subconscious patterns are quietly shaping our thoughts, emotions, and actions.
Patterns we didn’t even realise were running the show.
That’s exactly what my Aligned Life Rewire helps you uncover and change.
It’s a six-week one-on-one program designed to help you expose and upgrade the subconscious patterns shaping your results – so your life can finally move in the direction you actually want.
