How do you approach the idea of detachment from material possessions?
How do you approach the idea of detachment from material possessions?
Lately when it comes to excess of items that I've had and used for a long time it's easy to let go but when it's new items never used idk y I feel like I need to sell them instead of giving them to a donate box or throwing them away.i don't have a lot of money though that's prolly why I feel that way , so it's kind of a cycle ➿
Great question Chin Chin!
This year has thought me a lot about that. I ended up selling my only vehicle, quitting my job, cutting off all my beautiful long hair, and going back packing through a few western states.
But I really had to look at first my attachment to said thing. How it’s played a role in my life and how much I’ve relied on it for whatever reason.
Next I would say is just introducing alternative realities and how they may look or feel to you. How you have to adapt. How scary but exciting it could be to have a new experience. Think about what you could gain vs lose.
sure, I miss having a car and I miss my long hair but now I get to enjoy walks to work with nature everyday no matter what extreme she’s having. I also get more compliments now on my hair than ever before!
Dive into the uncomfortable sometimes 😉
