Freedom from Attachment

Novelist Chuck Palahniuk wrote, “What we call chaos is just patterns we haven’t recognized. What we call random is just patterns we can’t decipher.”

Do ever notice your walls suddenly go up without knowing what triggers it? You could be anywhere at any time, but you feel differently all of a sudden. It’s mostly the same crappy, dissonant feelings that you think were caused by something outside of you. But then, to add to the party, you start thinking about everything that is wrong with your life. How you’re alone or how you hate your job/relationship—anything you can attach the unpleasant feelings to. Perhaps you’ve felt this way your entire life, believing people are either born to attract or not attract what they want. You feel powerless.

It’s not true. You’re creating your life circumstances through recurring autopilot patterns. These patterns are so insidious that they run in the background, dictating your actions without you knowing it. The good news is they are learned… so they can be unlearned. You DO have control. Look deeper at your avoidance patterns so you can start owning your life instead of feeling like it’s created by default. Whether you’ve been ignoring your feelings daily from the time you wake up or just in situations where you fear loss (those times when you put on your people-pleasing face), please listen to this show. It will help you identify the patterns that keep you stuck in a loop of creating self-fulfilling prophecies. You have the power. Step one: recognize your avoidance patterns. Step two: break them.

People will accept bad jobs and tolerate crappy relationships, then berate themselves and wonder why they did it. They look for answers everywhere except where the problem truly lies– within themselves. Many become complacent and willing to settle for what they have because they don’t feel they deserve more.

When you look for a discount or want to pay less for something of quality, ask yourself why. It’s a direct reflection of how you feel about your own value because you cannot value something more than you value yourself. Look at where you discount yourself. If you own something nice and don’t take care of it, it shows your value. Of if you invest in nice things more than you do in your relationships (with yourself or others), it gives you an idea of where you place value.

Recognizing your value and stepping into it can open up a whole world of possibility. It’s about owning it and saying, “I want and deserve more.” When you do that and truly believe it, opportunities come your way. This week’s podcast helps you discover the value within yourself, and when you believe in yourself, it gives you the juice to believe in others.

Looking for the familiar (i.e. safety) in your life can be a clue to what you are afraid of when it comes to what you want. When you attempt to commit to something but feel resistance, take notice; resistance is just another form of fear. Sometimes when we're called to commit, it sounds good at the time, but then later it feels downright horrible, as though you’d prefer lobbing off a body part to get out of it.

This is what it’s like when you fight against consistency and resistance takes over. It's an internal battle between participating and being on your own island, which may lead you to question all the things you say you want, but cannot commit to doing. Being afraid of loss can make us act in pretty inconsistent ways. It can make us say one thing (what we want) and do the opposite (what we don't want). Then we intellectualize our actions--why am I doing this? Unfortunately we never get to the answer because it’s buried under a deeper belief, and the only way to uncover it is by connecting to our feelings. Our mind can't get there on its own. Join me to learn how to take emotional action toward commitment and consistency so you can have what you want.
