Being Loved by Ourselves | Experience Has Taught Me - The Detachment Benefit | Why Relationships Thrive By Practicing Detachment | Mindful Detachment for Healthier Parenting
One amazing conversation. How detachment can improve your life and bring the freedom and love we all seek. Check out our tips and join the conversation.
I love becoming more aware of how detachment in relationships can bring more confidence. It makes so much sense, yet we don’t always pay attention to this consciously.
Insightful read, and one of those that forces you to have hard conversations with yourself. I used to unknowingly bleed onto my soon-to-be 8-year-old when she was much younger, repeating patterns from my own childhood that weren’t so pleasant. Growing up, I wasn’t particularly close to my mum—we just didn’t connect, and I found her too strict. It wasn’t until I got married that we began trying to build a bond.
When I had my first daughter, I found myself parenting her in the same way, without realizing it. It wasn’t until I began embracing conscious parenting that I recognized how much I was repeating the very trends I once disliked. My daughter started reacting the same way I did as a child, and that’s when I knew I had to change. Now, I know better. Healing truly begins by first understanding and addressing unresolved issues.
Thank you for sharing your powerful story. As humans we tend to do what we have learned from our parents or society even if it is not the best way to do things. It is wonderful that you got out of repeating the same cycle.
This is a powerful reflection, Stella. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I also noticed in my parenting style the triggers that brought back the patterns learned while I was growing up. They stay with us until we become aware of them and start healing. 🙏
Detachment is a wonderful thing, and many of us understand it rationally, but we’re not deeply convinced it's the right path. The problem is that everywhere we look, we see attachment as the main value and driving force in life, and if we’re not mentally sharp enough, it’s easy to conform to such a widely accepted view.
This is so very true Davor. Everywhere is society attachment is praised and unfortunately many times it is also misinformed toward owning more thing adn collecting "stuff" instead on focusing on ourselves.
Thanks Mr.Rawson. Btw, it’s not that I am embodying detachment. For instance, right now I am very frustrated about some situation I experienced today at work, yet, at the same time, I am reminding myself of the fallacy of such attitude.
The connection you make with writing is a good one. To sit with a piece that you’ve written and to become detached enough to see what’s behind what we’ve written helps us to see the story that we really want to tell. Detachment gives us new eyes.

Unfortunately yes. Thanks for the comment.
Davor, you are sooo right! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insight.
Thanks Libby:)
Wow, SPOT ON. You’re so right and wise enough, Davor, to see though “what everyone else thinks.”
Thanks Mr.Rawson. Btw, it’s not that I am embodying detachment. For instance, right now I am very frustrated about some situation I experienced today at work, yet, at the same time, I am reminding myself of the fallacy of such attitude.
Every day we are tested, it is good to have the recognition and understanding. Thank you for sharing.
Wow. That’s discipline. Well done. Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you for reading and sharing your observations.
The picture and your thoughts on detachment are a perfect match. Who is the artist?
We have a few different images which one are you inquiring about?
