Clutter can be a drain on your energy and a real deterrent to the creative process. Clean out your physical space, donate/sell/throw things that you haven't used in years - make space to journey inwards. Let go of attachments "Aparigraha" (non grasping) to money, relationships, the lover, material possessions - only then will you begin to see that we have all these things within us.
A couple of days ago I was having some serious IT problems...I was in an emotional state of panic and felt very anxious that I would not be able to resolve the issues on my own. I could see myself grasping for anyone who could help me...my virtual boyfriend in Cambridge, my friend in Larchmont, my cousin who happened to be in Ecuador, my neighbor who is currently in Hyderabad, my business associate in Paris....but I could not reach anyone, no one was there...my panic deepened. I felt helpless and completely alone. I decided to stay with the feeling and kept telling myself that I am there for myself and I will know how to fix the problem. Sure enough, two days of browsing blog forums, $53, and 5 phone calls to Apple Tech Support corrected and resolved all of my IT issues!
