Hello.

Today I'm here to talk about the power of letting go,

Detach.

We often confuse connection with attachment.

When we are connected with someone,

They become a part of our life and we become a part of their life.

That's connection.

Connection,

It's an exchange.

This is healthy.

Once we become attached,

We become entangled.

This is different from connection.

Our energy and our thoughts become 100% on the person or situation we are attached to.

The more entangled we become,

The more we lose perspective.

Attachment moves us into a state of need.

Once we believe we need someone or something in order to be happy,

We give away our power to that person or situation.

We begin to perceive that as something we need in our life to make us happy.

However,

Nothing from outside can truly bring us happiness.

You are the one who decides whether you are happy or not in any situation of your life.

Once we become attached,

We give away our power to be in control of our own happiness.

And as the attachment grows,

So does the fear of losing the very thing we desire.

And then,

When we fear that the person or situation does not meet our expectations anymore,

We experience moments of emotional suffering and pain in our life.

Our mind,

In an attempt to save us from that potential loss,

Sends us into a survival mode.

We become obsessed,

Addicted to the person or to the thing that we have attached ourselves to.

We become controlling,

Emotional and insecure.

Once we get to this space,

We are so entangled that we are out of balance,

Reacting irrationally.

None of this gets us to happiness and it does not make a healthy relationship.

The good news is that all of this pain and suffering is a choice.

We can avoid this by choosing to let go and leave with non-attachment.

And letting go does not mean removing yourself from the relationship or letting go of your dreams.

It does not mean withdrawing or never connecting with another again.

It does not mean giving up on your dreams.

Living with non-attachment means releasing your need for something to make you happy.

It means accepting things as they are,

Knowing that everything changes.

Nothing is permanent,

Everything is temporary in life.

It means letting go of the details and trusting the universe.

When you can let go and practice healthy detachment,

You are able to express unconditional love for other people and fully able to appreciate their presence in your life.

You are able to see more clearly and you are able to live your life in a higher level.

Being detached does not prevent you from having a loving,

Healthy and passionate relationship.

When we can live without attachment,

We lose the fears and insecurities.

Once we release those cords,

We can make decisions from a solid place of wisdom and love.

We all have attachments.

That's human.

The goal is to be aware of attachments we have created and release them.

Very helpful to learn the difference between detachment and connection. Detatchment was a hard concept for me to learn because we don’t want to be detached from relationships- you explained it beautifully. Thank you!

Great insights. There is such a fine line between between attachment and connection. Mindfulness and self awareness are great tools to identify on which side of the line we are one, and go back to the connection side.

This is amazing. Explains what I experienced and how I acted at the end of my last relationship. I’ve been working on it because I don’t like what I became but this is so clear and simple now I can focus on where I went wrong. Thank you so very much.
