Do you ever find that you feel caught up in the challenges of life? That it becomes all too consuming and all you ever think about, all you ever focus on are the disruptions, torment and grief surrounding the situation at hand?
You feel this way because you are emotionally attached to actions and outcomes that are expected and therefore experienced. You have created a channel of energy that is feeding in to this emotion and as the emotions are generally highly charged it is more than likely that you are giving more energy to the situation than you are receiving resulting in an energetically unhealthy situation.
When you are attached to a situation or outcome you are likely to experience confusion, frustration, a feeling of being confined or stuck in a rut. You may be looking for a way out of a situation but are unable to find or receive the help you are looking for.
We are only able operate at our highest potential when we are energetically healthy. Energy flowing freely through us allowing our intuition to be unhindered, therefore allowing the answers we require to be delivered to us naturally, free of the influence of ego and our surroundings. So how can we possibly get out of these uncomfortable, sometimes soul destroying situations if we are being drained of our energy, feeling unable to regain our own inner strength?
Detach from the situation and you will find yourself emotionally free. You will open up a space within you that allows clarity and guidance to be delivered. Things will come easier to you.
When I first heard of the concept of detachment, or letting go, I was concerned that it was being suggested that I become cold, hard, uncaring and admit defeat. In order to practice detachment I had to reframe these limiting opinions.
To be detached is the realization that you can't control people and circumstances outside of yourself, that the outcome of situations in which others are involved is not in your hands.
To be detached doesn't mean that you stop caring, it means that you let go of the emotional responsibility to fix the situation. That you come from a space of "caring about" rather than "caring for", that you are "supportive" rather than "support".
Detachment is letting go of judgment, allowing others to be themselves, accepting that each and every one of us is exactly where we should be at exactly the right moment, acknowledging that we are all on a different journey, and not at the same place at the same time.
Easier said than done I hear you say. Here are some steps to developing detachment in your life.
1. Set emotional boundaries between yourself and the person or situation that you are detaching from.
2. Take back the power to create your own feelings. Do not allow the influence of other people or situations to control your own emotions.
3. Trust in your higher self and the universe that the people or situations in which you would like to see change will do so if and when it is right for them. Accept that it is not your responsibility to create this change.
4. Commit to focusing on strengthening and improving yourself only. Acknowledge that you are the only person who you have the power to change and that, for this reason, it is pointless in expending your own energy in order to change another person or situation.
5. Recognise that you have to be healthy within yourself and be a role model to others around you in order to have any chance of even influencing another person or situation.
6. Accept responsibility for your situation and own your own feelings. Let go of any blame of others for the way you are feeling and the situation you are in.
Practicing detachment is freeing and liberating and allows clarity, peace and abundance to enter your life.
So what are you going to detach yourself from? Where could you benefit from emotional freedom in your life?
