Why Detachment is Important…
Detachment works wonders for your life. The majority of people are always constantly attached to situations, circumstances, perceptions and relationships and their mind is always occupied with thoughts of these things. Learning the art of detachment and letting go is so important for your overall wellbeing, as well as your growth and progress.
In terms of your goals : To succeed in your goals, it is a combination of manifestation, self-improvement, required action, consistency and discipline. However, being too attached to the outcome of your goals will put you in a lower vibrational state because you will be thinking : “Why hasn’t this happened yet for me?” or “I have been putting in so much of the work and effort but nothing has come of it. I may as well give up then”. Trust in the universe, and know that if you put in the work, the universe will reward you. Do not give up, whatever you do. Keep going and the universe will gift you with abundance.
In terms of relationships : If you are staying in a relationship, whether that be friendship or romantic, simply because you have been in that relationship for a long time and feel afraid to leave, you may as well stop your growth journey altogether. Just because it is comfortable or familiar, does not mean that it is good for you. I remember a quote that I heard a while ago and it has always stuck with me. It was : “The comfort zone is a very comfortable place, but nothing ever grows there”. And when I say this, I don’t mean just go ahead and end any long-term relationship for no reason. I am saying this, if the relationship you are currently in is not what you really want, deep down, if it is toxic, if it drains you from your energy or if it simply limits your growth. If they do not understand your priorities and aren’t adding value to your life, then they are taking your power away. Remember, if you don’t prioritise yourself first and are giving all your energy away to someone else, you will not be able to grow. If you are unable to really cut this person from your life, distance yourself and focus on what you need to do. Also remember that if you are living as your highest, most radiant self, you are bound to have people leave your life, but just imagine all the amazing people who will be drawn to you and create value in your life. They will be the highest version of them and you will be the highest version of you, or, you will both be on that journey together, and that is a beautiful thing.
In terms of people’s perceptions : Let’s get one thing straight. People will never stop judging you. People will never not have an opinion about you. People will always try to bring you down. My advice for you is to just let go. Don’t you realise that there is a million different versions of you in the world? Some people think you’re mean, some people think you’re the nicest person on the planet. Some people think you’re quiet, some people think you’re crazy. Some people think you’re not good looking, others think you are the most beautiful person on earth. But what matters most is your own perception of yourself. You know who you are, don’t you? People haven’t lived your life, but you have. That is all that matters. You know best. The whole world is filled with perceptions. Let’s take this for an example : some people like oranges and some people like apples. Some people like both. Does it matter that the people who like oranges don’t like apples? No, of course not. It does not take the delicious flavour of the orange away. It just means it does not suit everyone.
In terms of situations : Detachment is extremely important in different situations. For example, it is really easily to get embarrassed, right? We may replay a certain situation over and over in our heads, cringing at the way we acted. Instead of doing this, repeat to yourself that it is ok to make mistakes. You are human. As opposed to putting a serious, disheartening tone over the whole situation, laugh it off instead and say : “Haha, I was a bit silly there. Let’s try not do that next time!" Also keep in mind that people do not care about you so much that all they can think about is the slightly embarrassing thing you did that day. They are too concerned with themselves to place you at the forefront of their thoughts. They likely forget about it immediately and move on with their day, or in reality, probably didn’t even notice it! Overthinking is our greatest enemy in this respect.
