Laws Of Detachment

The laws of detachment are something that can be categorized in the "spiritual" genre. But it is something that applies to so many levels and aspects of our lives. It is something that can aid us in reaching many kinds of goals.

What exactly are the laws of detachment . The belief and idea is that if we mindfully practice detachment it can allow us to enter a space of receiving and allow life to present us with more possibilities. It is about surrendering control and creating a deeper trust in the universe. In simpler terms it means that in order to reach our goals we must detach ourselves from the outcome or the path to get there. We must separate ourselves and our emotions from our goals. If we drop the idea of how "it must be" to make it, we open ourselves up to endless possibilities, it is about trust and surrender rather than control or detachment.

The laws bluntly put are as follows

1.)Allow others to be who they are. Do not try and change anyone but instead listen to what they're form of being is trying to tell you. Having siblings and a very young one , I had to realize that we all come out "the box" differently. With our own preset preferences and personalities and just because you are into something does not mean they will, instead listen to them and cultivate their personality.

2.)Allow yourself to be who you are. Aside from any toxic traits, don't change yourself for the sake of thinking you have to. We are ourselves for a reason but allowing yourself to realize that we are good enough just the way we are. There are skills and lessons we learn on our way top reaching goals but we should never compromise ourselves for the sake of reaching a goal. There is a reason we are gifted with certain traits.

3.)Don't force situations. Allow life to play itself out as it should. Everything in life that is meant to be will be. forcing any scenario or situation to happen because you think it is what has to happen will just take away from your resources and honestly it is a distraction. Be more present and realize that what is meant to be will happen regardless of you forcing it or not so there is no need for you to force it.

4.)Solutions will emerge. No problem is permanent, allowing time and life to play things out while not forcing anything will show you that. As you practice allowing things to be as they should you will realize that solutions will always emerge no matter what. Now if those solutions are what we expected or not is something else but that does lead us to the next law.

5.)Uncertainty is reality. We cannot control the outcome of things and the less energy we spend thinking about them the better we can focus on what truly matters. The reality of life is that not a single person knows the outcome of things. Everything will play out as it should and the less we think about how it should happen or how we want it to happen, the better. That is where the detachment of emotions from our goals comes into play

6.)Embrace it. Embrace the journey, embrace life, and most of all embrace the results. The results are what they are for a reason. Literally everything has a reason for happening and when you accept that you will learn to embrace the uncertainty and appreciate the losses as much as the wins. Everything is a learning situation as as you practice this more you will gain a true appreciation for what it means to embrace uncertainty.

These are the six laws and in the next article I will talk about how they can be applied to different aspects of life like career relationships and more.
