decoding attachments

We all get attached to something or someone in our lives. Being attached is human nature, but once we understand why our brains prefer attachments over detachments, we can better be able to steer ourselves from the seductions of our everyday society and choose freedom over being imprisoned by our desires.

Attachment, unfortunately, is the cause of our suffering as well. We suffer more because the more things and people we get attached to, the more we start being burdened by worries, anxieties, resentment, and other negative emotions. When we get attached to things external to us, we start getting identified by these things and objects. We lose vision of our higher purpose and deviate from living our truth so that we can satiate ourselves with the comfort and fulfillment of the desired objects. When we get more, we want more.

The core of every attachment and addiction is to feel a connection and to feel good. We are inundated with boring spaces and phases in our day-to-day lives and don’t know what to do with our time. We feel a lack of stimulation. Our human brain wants excitement; it wants the rush to feel alive. All we are seeking is to bring life into life again, but the sad truth is we end up bringing things and entities into our lives that rob the life force out of us.

We want reassurance from external means that our life is still worth living. In this digital age, getting connected is easy and a few clicks away, but at the expense of genuineness and authenticity. We are chasing lies and running away from our inner personal truths. The solutions are not outside, and in order to find them, we need to peek inside and know ourselves.

To know what truly excites us needs soul searching. It takes time, patience, and an understanding of the bigger picture that all things are happening for a reason — a big reason that we are unable to see right now. Only then we will be able to connect the dots and uncover a lifestyle of detachment, extreme self-reliance, and living our truth.
