Non-Attachment


 

What is Non-Attachment?

Non-attachment means moving through life without letting things, people, or places have such a hold on you that you make wrong choices. Not letting things own you.

 

Benefits of Non-Attachment:

Non-attachment can completely change the way you think about yourself, others, objects, and places. The more you practice non-attachment, the easier it is to live a physically and emotionally healthy life. Here are some of the benefits of non-attachment:

  • A feeling of inner peace
  • Ability to make reasoned decisions
  • Being less vulnerable to stressors
  • Greater emotional stability
  • Better relationships
  • Being a better parent
  • Enjoying being who you are
  • Feeling more in control
  • Greater life satisfaction
  • Diminishing fear of loss

Think to yourself :

What Food(s) are you attached to?

What people are you attached to?

What emotion(s) are you attached to?

What situation(s) are you attached to?

What would be the benefits of not being “attached” to these things/situations/people any longer? How would you feel with still having them in your life but not being attached to them (or the outcome of them)?

 

“Attachment is the source of all suffering.”

“I’m practicing non-attachment: Accepting what comes and allowing it to leave when it’s time. What’s for me will be for me effortlessly.”

“Non-attachment is an illumining and liberating force. Attachment is a binding and blinding force.”
