I've recently realized that i am a huge klutz. Is there anything that i can do to stop running into things or dropping things. When i go into a store my friend won't let me hold anything i can break.

Thanks

I, too am a klutz, and I agree with all the other answers, including ones that say it can be controlled and those that say it can't be. What no one so far has said is whether or not this is a totally bad thing. Like most things in this world, it's mixed. For myself, I try to accept it because a part of me doesn't seem to relate to the world on its terms. In other words, I don't always accept the world as real. The accidents that occur because of this attitude are merely because my ego is trying to tell me the opposite. Now here's the interesting part: The more convinced I become the world is not real, the less I bump into things. This is counter intuitive, but only to the ego's way of thinking. The trick, if there is such a thing, is to trust ourselves to be what we are, and when we put ourselves in an awkward position (literally and figuratively), we need only to step back a moment without judgment and self criticisms, and say, "That was silly, it's nothing but my ego trying to tell me how real the world is and how special I am." This simple exercise will help us in a variety of ways, including social situations where we feel angry, hurt, or out-of place, like verbal klutzes.

Yes, there IS something you can do. Get into the habit of visualizing actions you are going to take before you take them. In plain and simple terms: look before you leap. When people are clumsy, it's often a sign that their brain is not engaged. You're probably thinking of other things, maybe things that worry you, rather than focusing on the moment at hand. Good luck.

There is nothing you can really do other than try harder to not be a klutz.
