I don't know about you but I find this whole 'detaching from the outcome' thing really really challenging! Being the personality type who likes to know everything is in my control makes it pretty hard to hand over big wishes to the Big U! The bigger the wishes, the harder I find it. But then, whenever I do eventually let go and detach from the outcome it always, always manifests! It is a practice I work on every single day of my life, because it just doesn't come naturally to me, but I know the more I do it the easier it will be.
Whenever I've wanted something to happen, I get attached to it, and try to keep it within my control up to the point that it actually starts to create a bit of stress and anxiety, and at that point I realize what I'm doing and how much I don't enjoy that feeling, and that sparks me into handing the stress and control part over to the Universe.
So recently I was reminded of the power of this little gift again. When my husband and I first decided we wanted to have a child, we tried for a while, almost a year, and the more we wanted it, the more it became something to fixate on and as we've all heard the less chance you have of falling pregnant. So like many people's stories, we decided that was no fun and we just wanted to let it go and trust divine timing of the Universe, of course, as soon as we detached from the outcome, I fell pregnant with my now 3 year old. Same thin happened this time around, although much quicker, because I knew as soon as I started feeling a bit control-freakish, and comparing myself to others, I knew immediately it was time to stop that and trust that when the timing is right, everything will happen as it should. Sure enough just a short 2 months later, I fell pregnant.
The same thing happened with our immigration journey and EVERY single time we've wanted to find the perfect house to rent for our little family (EVERY time without fail), the minute we agree that we need to let go because we know we are being looked after, something perfect turns up straight away.
In other areas, I find this quite a bit hard to do - the areas that are my triggers, like finances. We are all human and we all love to hold on to that element of control to make things happen for ourselves, but sometimes there is SO much power in surrendering, detaching, letting go and simply handing the 'too tough' basket over to your Higher Source. Just watch what happens.
No all I need to learn to do is apply this gift in all areas of my life, haha, one day!
What area of your life is waiting for you to detach? Set the intention, ask, put the work in and then detach from actually receiving it.
