Any time that we are “leaving” whether it is a home, a job or a relationship we are afforded the opportunity to practice healthy detachment. Putting your house on the market and letting in the masses is something that never feels good, but by practicing a healthy detachment can be a lot easier to experience.

We went through some strange experiences with a prospective “buyer” for our home. I plan to blog more about it at a later date. For now, all I can say is what we said when I was a real estate agent more than 30 years ago. The line was “buyers are liars” and we certainly did have this experience. More later …

Leaving is a natural part of living. We leave jobs, relationships and home so that we may live differently and experience new things. One door closes to that we may open others.

As you age you let more and more things go, it is just a natural progression of life. I have had my share of loss and leaving things that no longer serve me well.

I started this blog days ago, yet early this morning I heard from the person who accepted the position that I left in August. Another experience of practicing “healthy detachment” I wished her “good luck” and shared very little. She needs to create her own opinions and experiences, just like I had before her.

Letting go and freeing oneself is healthy when we approach it with a positive attitude and are receptive to what is ahead for us. With “healthy detachment” we are afforded the opportunity to experience healthy attachments.
