1.11.21
I love the first day of the month, especially when it lands on a Monday.
For each day this week I’ll be posting a word to ponder on.
Today’s word is:
Detach
1. disengage (something or part of something) and remove it.
2. leave or separate oneself from (a group or place).
For me, this means letting go of what’s happened, and focusing on what is. It looks like freeing myself daily from being held hostage to my 25 year old thoughts of who I expected myself to be at this point.
I do this by confirming (not affirming) my presence in the present, i.e observing what is literally in front of me. Then I ask what can I do in this moment for me, my environment or immediate future? And that may be cooking a tasty meal with love and intention, beautifying my space, handling personal admin, or doing absolutely nothing!
What does detaching look like to you?
