Adore Detachment

Every time you react, you attach. You attach to the feeling. You attach to the energy. The very ideas you are reacting to attach to you. You allow the world and its noise to build residual slime on you. You taking the world personally invites that world into your psyche with no filter or scrubbing bubbles. Their (the world’s) projections you have consumed build up all over you over time and it becomes difficult to differentiate and discern what all these attachments even are, where they’ve come from, and why you are holding them.

To stop taking on the world and its woes, you want to get good at detachment. Become lovingly detached from what is not yours. Detachment isn’t coldness or lack of kindness per see. It is holding space between you and whatever comes at you so you can make clear choices about whether you actually, truly need to give a s*&!.

Most of the time, you don’t. It’s not yours. Your drama, reactivity, or alignment with the tragedies befalling others is not changing their circumstances at all.

Do your work of becoming aligned with your inner landscape. Cultivate the richness that is you so you can engage life from healthy detachment and allow space for all other beings to walk their own sovereign path.

When you take the world personally, you form unhealthy attachments.
