Today's Affirmation

 

"Today I will emotionally detach from those people and events that cause me distress."

 

When we are faced with or experiencing circumstances that cause us a tremendous amount of stress or turbulent emotions, and we can't manage the situation any other way, it may be time to just DETACH from it.

 

Emotionally detaching puts distance between us and the situation.  It's a coping mechanism that helps us to protect ourselves from emotional duress. 

 

When we detach, it's like moving back a few steps to get out of the energy field of the situation.  It allows us a  more objective perspective, and thus, it makes it a little easier to see the situation for what it is and to remain unaffected by it.

 

It is not always so easy to do this;  it requires a strong focus and lots of talking to ourselves.

What I do is simply repeat over and over again to myself, "Detach.  Detach.  Detach.  Detach.  Detach."  And then I visualize myself moving back, stepping back our of range of emotional entanglement.

 

So, if you are feeling caught up in the riled up emotion of the situation, then just breathe and detach.  Keep at it and don't give up; before you know it, you will master your emotion and be able to clearly see and manage the situation-without being tied up in knots.
