These attachments can be something you do to your appearance or a behavior or trait you highlight, such as:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Meticulously steaming your clothes for work every morning<\/li><li>Obsessively thanking every cashier you interact with<\/li><li>Being the first among your friends to own the newest iPhone&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s wrong with putting effort into your appearance or doing something kind for a stranger? Nothing, on the surface. But the answer lies in one question: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/your-genius\/\">Who are you<\/a> doing it for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice yourself doing something solely for the sake of others, you\u2019re using it <em>as an attachment<\/em>. Someone might think a messy desk at work signifies he\u2019s \u201cbad.\u201d So, he becomes obsessed with keeping it clean to assert how \u201cgood\u201d he is. <strong>(If an Ideal Man keeps his desk at work clean, it\u2019s because <em>he wants to<\/em>.)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Practicing Non-Attachment in Buddhism<\/strong><br><br>Glover isn&#8217;t the only person to highlight the pitfalls of attachments. For centuries, Buddhist teachings have explored this topic, including the concept of &#8220;non-attachment,&#8221; or a state of being in which you sever unhealthy attachments.&nbsp;<br><br>In his podcast episode \u201cUnderstanding Non-Attachment,\u201d Noah Rasheta\u2014Buddhist lay minister\u2014explains that in the context of Buddhism, <a href=\"https:\/\/secularbuddhism.com\/understanding-non-attachment\/\">attachments aren\u2019t the things you own, but the things in your life that own <em>you<\/em><\/a>. He notes that the tenet of <em>non-attachment<\/em> doesn\u2019t prevent you from buying yourself something nice or entering into a meaningful relationship, but it does stress that you don\u2019t let these things control your life.<br><br>Rasheta emphasizes that at its core, practicing non-attachment is about coming to terms with impermanence. <strong>When we release our attachment to something, we\u2019re not necessarily letting go of that thing or relationship altogether, but giving up on our attachment to the permanence of the thing (or its meaning).<\/strong> It\u2019s also about our tendency to compare things, particularly the past, present, and future. Letting go of your attachments helps you exist in the present moment.<br><br>We can apply this definition of \u201cattachments\u201d and \u201cnon-attachment\u201d to our everyday lives. For example, if you think you&#8217;re good because your car is always clean, then you&#8217;re owned by the need to clean your car. You won\u2019t be free until this act is no longer an attachment but something you do in the present moment for yourself (simply to do it). <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exercise: Practicing Non-Attachment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to practice non-attachment effectively, you must first identify your approval-seeking habits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Think about the attachments you use in everyday life to gain external approval. List some of them here. (Remember, this can be something you do to yourself or highlight about yourself\u2014from having a clean car to appearing to be the perfect father.)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Out of the attachments you wrote down, which would you stop doing if you weren\u2019t concerned about what others think? Why?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>In general, how might you live differently if the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/criticism-of-others\/\">judgment of others<\/a> was no concern? What would you start doing in this case? List what comes to mind.<\/li><li>Look at the list of behaviors or actions you\u2019d like to start\u2014pick one.
