Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Detachment is always possible
We can take our feelings and our minds on a “mini-trip” every time the people in our lives get abusive or the circumstances in our lives get too demanding. But we don’t have to deny our emotions and let others control how we feel and what we do. For many of us, this is an astonishing revelation. We never understood how able we really were to decide what we would feel.
Detachment sounds more mysterious than it really is. At first we may think it means we can’t care about our loved ones anymore. Actually, letting others alone to do what they will and practicing acceptance are far more caring. Detaching is acknowledging that each of us is responsible for our own journey.
My journey will be what I make it today. I will detach with love.
