How Do I Detach When I Want It So Badly, NOW?!
by Anise Aven
Nearly 10 years ago my husband and I decided that what we really wanted was to live a simple and “abundant” life by the ocean, run our own business from home and take 12 -18 months off to travel around Australia. Recently we did our ’sums’ and realized that if we can sell our townhouse – we will own our country house, have the money to take the time out and travel around Australia and enough money to return to start up our own business. After 10 long years it is now THAT close. We have our townhouse on the market and the real estate agents are happy with the ‘challenge’ of getting the top price for us. Now all we need is for our townhouse to sell and our dream has become REAL. How do we now ‘detach’ and wait an unknown length of time for the sale to happen, knowing it could be tomorrow – or 6 months away? I feel our time has come – NOW!
I am READY, I have visualized and believed and ’seen’ our sale happening and know exactly how wonderful that is going to FEEL, but after only 3 weeks of being on the market and having to put energy into presentation on a daily basis in case buyers come through – it’s difficult to ‘let it go’ and to keep believing the sale will manifest without another few months of waiting and working and more of the same pattern of the past 10 years.
I would love some feedback and my toughest manifestation is to have our townhouse sell NOW – before winter comes and before too much time goes on. I truly feel I have waited long enough and the time has come for us – we just need a sale and I would dearly love to have it manifested in our lives NOW! You have waited long enough and you’ve worked hard for 10 years to get where you are. You have every right to want it now. However, don’t lose sight of what you’ve accomplished and fall short of your goal by agonizing over the timing.
I am reminded of the story of Florence Chadwick, the first woman to swim the English Channel. On July 4, 1952, she made her first attempt to swim the 21-mile channel between Catalina Island and the mainland of California. She jumped in off the beach of Catalina, swam her heart out and for a while all was well.
However, the water was freezing cold and then a thick fog rolled in. The fog made it difficult to see the support boats and the constant threat of hidden sharks made each stroke all the more grueling. After 16 hours of struggling with the ice-cold ocean, dense fog and relentless fear, Florence Chadwick gave up and asked to be pulled into the boat.
When she got in the boat, she was so disappointed in herself… because she immediately could see that she only had a few 100 yards to go. She could have made it easily. Later, Florence Chadwick said to a reporter: “If I could have just seen the land for myself, I would have made it!” On her second attempt, she made that swim in record time.
Your work now is to not get caught up in the fog of the moment by forgetting that your goal is only a short distance away. In order to do this, there are several clear steps that you can take to detach from your house selling now, surrender to the Divine Order and at the same time manifest a perfect, timely and smooth townhouse transaction.
You have to keep an eye on your attraction meter. Do this by monitoring how you are feeling throughout the day and then by responding appropriately to ANY negative tinge or feeling.
First, when you find yourself feeling negative, counter that negative feeling by asking: What thought is creating this negative feeling? Once you’ve uncovered the thought, first dismiss the thought by acknowledging your accomplishments and pat yourself on the back: “Look at how far we’ve come! Look at how determined, focused and dedicated we’ve been to this goal! I am proud of what we’ve done. We are successful and we have so much to be confident and excited about”.
Second, be grateful that so many fabulous things have come true for you and your husband: “I am so grateful that we’ve had enough foresight and tenacity to see our way to manifesting this upcoming opportunity. I am so grateful that life has unfolded perfectly. I am grateful that we set forth this goal so clearly before. I am grateful that all of the circumstances are falling easily into place now. I am grateful that we have a realtor who is working hard to sell the townhouse. I am grateful that we invested wisely. I am grateful that we are young enough, healthy enough, brave enough etc. to pursue this dream”.
Third, surrender to the Divine Order of life by letting it all go. Say, “whatever is meant to be – will be. The Divine Order of life is now at hand and I can’t stop it. All is well”. I also support you in saying, “If it’s meant to be that we sell the townhouse now, then it will, but if it’s not meant to be, then we won’t. Whatever is in the highest good for all concerned is what I’m at peace with, now. I am at peace with the Law of Attraction at work in this situation now. If it happens before winter, that’s perfect but if it doesn’t that’s fine too. I am at peace with the Divine timing of this and all of our desires.”
And fourth, speak what you want from a place of peace and confidence. “What I intend to have is a fabulous journey and for our business to grow perfectly upon our return. What I intend to have is…”
The third step always seems to be the hardest. Let me clarify that surrendering to the Divine Order is NOT giving up. Surrendering is not creating that it won’t sell because you’re at peace with whatever happens but instead it’s the acknowledgment that all is well and that the Divine Order is at hand.
Surrendering is remembering that there are other factors playing out in your perfect manifestation. For example, what else do you want? I can imagine since you are taking a trip around your country, that part of what you would want is fair, and comfortable weather conditions everywhere you go; comfortable guides, maps, gear and accommodations wherever you may end up; Comfortable and friendly hosts along your journey; Relaxed, kind, loving, accepting, helpful and beautiful people along your path; a nice balance between structure and freedom, giving and taking with nature, and relaxation and challenging but positive stimulus and many other ideal scenarios. These orchestrations are occurring right now and however long it takes for you townhouse to sell is the exact amount of time needed to orchestrate this amazing masterpiece.
Also, remember that every time you wallow in the feeling of anxiousness, you actually halt the flow of energy that will create the perfect sell. Therefore, you have to put your foot down and not allow yourself to worry or fret or feel anxious but instead command your feelings and your thoughts with – “I know this is happening in perfect timing and I let it go, now!!!!! All is well! I have waited this long, I can wait patiently for the Universe to orchestrate everything perfectly and I relax and let it go now. ”
One suggestion to increase your true ability to detach is to spend your meditation time with affirmations that acknowledge the Divine Order, Divine Timing, and the presence of God at work right now in your life. Meditate on the idea that you are handing this over to the Universe to handle and you’re letting it go.
It may help to remember that you have managed to manifest 95% of your dream already. You have worked hard, saved money, invested wisely, made sacrifices and prepared to leave. Your creation is 95% complete and you’re in the last leg of the race. Don’t let yourself get back in the boat by doubting. Remember, to stay focused on the dream and how sweet the nectar will taste when you are devouring it as opposed to thinking about wanting to gobble it up now. Create a fabulous journey and life!
