Conclusion

As you can see, breaking things can have spiritual meanings beyond simply being inattentive and clumsy. The mental or physical are just a symptom of the deeper spiritual causes of everything breaking around us.

Fixing the deeper spiritual cause, can influence the mental symptoms such as being inattentive or being too clumsy. Fixing your inattentiveness might help but will not fix the deep root cause.
