Why is it so important to detach from the outcome?

Last week I talked about a sign I had asked for from my spirit guides. Not only did I ask my guides for this sign, but I nagged them pretty much daily or every few days, before I decided to just let go and allow it to happen when it was supposed to.

Once I had let go, guess what happened? That’s right – my sign appeared, and in a very big way!

While I was so attached to the idea of seeing this sign, I was actually pushing it away! My energy was saying “I don’t have my sign!”, so the Universe was delivering that truth, which appeared to me as no sign of my sign! Ugh!

But as soon as I let it go, knowing that if I was meant to see my sign, it would appear, that’s exactly what happened. This is because I was now surrendering and trusting that what was meant for me would come – and when it was supposed to! This is because my energy is now in flow, trusting and allowing. It’s not pushing what I want away.

Another way we push our desires away

Impatience is another way we push our desires away. When we are impatient, we are saying, “My thing isn’t here yet!”, which creates our reality. But when we are patient, we are saying, “My thing is on its way and will appear when it is supposed to”, and this is what happens!

I’ve had one or two clients over the years who’ve expected instant results from a healing, and while this can happen in many cases, for most people, healing takes time. There’s a processing period and there are likely several layers of energies which need to be fully healed before they’re able to see physical results.

So these people focus on the fact that their body hasn’t healed yet, which unfortunately slows down the healing process and could possibly even reverse the benefits already received!

Watch your thoughts

Our minds are very complex machines, and our thoughts are extremely powerful. You may not think your thoughts are creating resistance, but in many cases they are, so it’s important to understand this so that you can make the shift.

How can I detach?

It is all well and good to be told to detach, but how do you do that?

For some it’s easy, but for most it can be quite difficult – but it’s not impossible and it takes practise!

1. Ask for what you want. This can be healing, a relationship, more money, or even a new home.
2. Trust that if it’s meant for you, it’s on its way, and stressing about it will only delay it.
3. Whenever you find yourself mulling over the issue you wish to have resolved, and wondering why it’s not here yet, shift your focus to something that feels good to you. This other thing doesn’t have to be in any way related to the thing that you want.
4. Express gratitude for all that you have. Do this daily! Gratitude creates an energy of receiving.
5. Act as if you already have what you want. Feel the emotions of this person who has what you want, act how they would act, walk how they would walk, embrace the personality of the future version of you that has this thing that you want.

These are only 5 of 1,000’s of possible ways you can detatch from the outcome, but they’re a start. You can try some or all of these, and even add more of your own – it’s completely up to you. Just do what works, and what helps you to shift that impatient, “grasping” feeling that tends to push your desires away, and before long I know things will begin to shift for you!
