We spend so much of our lives forming attachments to people, places, feelings and emotions that eventually represent a significant role in our journey. Even more, so that the types of relationships and connections formed are with compatible people who vibrate on corresponding frequencies, sharing similar goals, values and overall vision on life. You’ll find that you surround yourself with things that truly matter when you start seeking satisfying and sustainable relationships. When you make room and space for them in your life, you will become mindful of important things. Although, to make room for good things you must let go of the bad. The fact is holding on to the things that serve no direction to our future creates much suffering, however, it seems reassuring to keep things as they are for fear that they will not be replaced or forever be gone from our lives if we let them go. In reality, when you make a deliberate effort to let go of what does not serve you, the room will be filled! Complete detachment involves separating the thoughts, the emotion or circumstance that takes up residency within you. It is Ok to grieve your losses, but in turn, recognise the importance of endings as a means of receiving opportunity. When you’re unattached, you allow inner freedom.
We seem to get wrapped up in endings so often that we fail to reflect on the current moment. We cling to what the past has been and fear the uncertain, in the future. But being OK with an ending, and even enthusiastic about the future of it, always helps one to be present. Life supplies you with the same lifeline by supporting you to let go of all that mentally, financially, emotionally and spiritually taxes you. Take an overview of your current circumstances and investigate specific areas that leave you dissatisfied and unfulfilled. Though, much of the time we don’t actually realise when something or someone is no longer serving value until a toxic occurrence is experienced. Therefore, how can you recognise a need for distance or exit? It’s simple. Reflect on how an individual or environment makes you feel. What type of energy is drawn in that presence? Do you feel uninspired, or empty? Is there a sense of unfulfillment? No matter the circumstance, these negative relationships inevitably rob you and don’t provide either party with any personal development.
The idea is to place serious distance between whatever does not serve you to make room for a feeling of satisfaction. Try to view this process as an opportunity to attract better experiences, and avoid destructive habits. Detachment implies that we hand over the process of life to a greater force that knows best how to attend to our needs and desires. The perfect way to gain power and reign your sense of entitlement within the framework of your life is to make small decisions within your comfort zone. Make a personal agreement with yourself, that letting go is the freedom of being at ease with what it is, make a spiritual declaration that what is meant to be will be. Meaning, the next events to occur will transpire, not according to your own expectations, so remain open and receptive to what is to come. Life has a funny way of teaching you. The moment you begin to live life from this perspective and detach yourself from the essence of control to view life as a mystery of endless possibilities then you can master the real lessons that life presents you. Stand in a place of firm understanding and knowledge that everything you require will be delivered once you surrender control and find acceptance.
