Self-Awareness Saturday | Developing Awareness (Part 10) | Free Yourself of Your Attachment To Outcomes
Last
week I went over the ninth step, allow yourself to embrace others, so this week I'm going
go over the tenth step: free yourself of your attachment to outcomes.
For me of the most therapeutic
components of practicing self-awareness is freeing yourself from the
expectation and anticipation to outcomes.
Anticipation and
expectation are products of the future, so even though it can be influenced by
our intentions, it cannot be controlled.
I do my best to help plan
for the future but as we all know, things don’t always go the way we went or
expect them to go.
How many of your projects actually
ended exactly as planned?
How much of your emotional
energy have you spent on attachment to its outcome?
We spend so much of our
energy worrying about things that haven’t even happened yet and may not ever
even happen for that matter.
Getting out of your own way
forms a space for something bigger to unfold.
It is through the release
of attachment and control that a more beautiful outcome is revealed.
Through self-awareness, I
have learned my personal need for control so this one was a hard one for me.
By allowing yourself to let
go of this control, anticipation, expectation, etc., you will be able to generate
more powerful and thrilling experiences beyond your own limited “inner world”.
*Stay tuned for my next "Self-Awareness
