True detachment is not acting cold and aloof.

It's not about not caring about anything.

It's not about numbing yourself to the world.

That is not detachment.

That is disconnection.

And it's just another form of control in disguise.

True detachment is freedom.

It's about being free from the need to control everyone and everything around you.

It's about stopping the exhausting cycle of trying to control how people see you,

fixing problems that aren't yours to fix,

and constantly trying to control how your future is unfolding.

These four concepts from one of my favorite books,

The Courage to be Disliked,

broke that attachment cycle for me,

and they're about to do the same for you.

But just a warning, one of these is a little controversial,

so keep an open mind.

So it's time to enter your unbothered era,

not because you're numb and disconnected and you're trying to pretend to be some cool girl who doesn't get affected by things,

but because you trust life.

You trust uncertainty and you trust yourself enough to let go.

Hey friend, welcome back.

If you're new here, my name's Jill and I help women step into their power,

tap into their divine feminine and become their best self,

live their best life.

So if that's something you want to do,

you should subscribe and stick around.

And in case you want more from me besides just my YouTube videos,

you can always check out my deep dive feminine energy course

or any of my other courses or digital products like my bestselling notion templates.

They are all linked down below.

So in this video, I'm going to walk you through four concepts that I got from this book,

the courage to be disliked that will finally help you master detachment.

So if you've ever struggled with overthinking or people pleasing or trying to control how every aspect of your life unfolds,

I hope that this video can shift something in you.

And if you want to give this book a read,

I highly recommend it.

It's one of my favorites.

I'll link it down below.

So concept number one from this book is so incredibly simple, but also life-changing.

It's called the separation of tasks.

And it's about understanding what is my task and what is your task and not getting those roles confused.

There are tasks that are yours to handle and there are tasks that belong to other people.

And most of your anxiety,

most of your stress, some of your exhaustion is because you are carrying tasks that were never yours to begin with.

So let me explain.

You are only responsible for your own tasks,

meaning your own actions, your own choices,

your own feelings, and how you show up.

That is all your task.

That is under your domain other people's opinions feelings

or reactions to those choices that's their task other people's actions that's their task true detachment starts

when you stop crossing that line when you stop invading into their tasks

and focus solely on your own so here's what this looks like in real life

so my task right now is to show up film this video do the best i can

and publish it to youtube whether it gets a ton of views

or not that's not my task that's your task as the audience That's your task to decide,

hmm, should I like this video?

Should I comment?

Should I share it with a friend?

And because that's your task,

I don't need to concern myself with that stuff.

When you're on a date,

your task is to show up,

be your best self, have a good time,

and decide if you even like the person or not.

And his task is to show up,

be his best self, have a good time,

and decide if he even likes you.

But whether he likes you or not,

that is not your concern because it's not your task.

Someone's mad at you.

That's their task.

You can acknowledge it.

If you did something wrong, you should absolutely apologize.

But their anger is theirs to process.

It's not yours to fix.

Your parents are disappointed in your life choices.

That's their task.

You can love them.

You can listen.

But you cannot sacrifice your whole life trying to meet their expectations.

That is not your task.

Someone doesn't like the way you look,

the way you talk, the choices you make.

Not your task.

When you try to take on other people's tasks,

when you try to control how people see you or feel about you,

you're actually disrespecting their autonomy.

You are robbing both of you,

not just you, not just them,

but both of you of your freedom.

As the book says, when you intrude on another person's task,

you are violating their right to live freely.

So here's the simple question that makes everything clear.

Is this my task or is it theirs?

Before you stress about someone's reaction,

ask, is this my task or is it theirs?

Before you try to fix someone's mood,

100

ask, is this my task or is it theirs?

101

Before you adjust yourself to make someone else comfortable,

102

ask, is this my task or is it actually theirs?

103

Your task is always about your choices,

104

your actions, your authenticity, your opinions, your feelings, your reactions.

105

Their task is always about their choices,

106

their reactions, their feelings, their opinions,

107

etc. Because remember, detachment is not about not caring about anything.

108

That is apathy.

109

Okay, that's starting to tiptoe a little bit into depression and we don't want that.

110

Detachment is about understanding what is actually yours to carry,

111

and not everything is yours to carry.

112

And when you can drop everything that's not your task,

113

that's when you can finally start to feel free.

114

This is so insanely simple,

115

but a perspective shift that has genuinely changed my life.

116

Now, before we keep going,

117

I do want to thank Better Help for kindly sponsoring today's video.

118

When we talk about detachment,

119

what we're really talking about is emotional freedom and the ability to stay grounded no matter what's happening around us.

120

And that can be really hard to do when your mind feels busy and your emotions are all over the place.

121

Or you're caught in cycles of overthinking or maybe even being a bit anxiously attached.

122

We've all been there.

123

That's why having someone in your corner really does matter.

124

No matter what you're navigating,

125

whether it's stress around relationships,

126

family, health, work, or just everyday life,

127

having someone to talk to can make a huge difference.

128

Therapy can give you a safe space to process what's coming up,

129

regulate your emotions, and stay grounded even when everything else feels uncertain.

130

Even just having an outside perspective can shift how you see a situation,

131

and that's where BetterHelp comes in.

132

It's an online therapy platform that makes it easy and convenient to get matched with a licensed therapist.

133

No waiting rooms, no commuting,

134

just professional support from home on your own schedule.

135

You just fill out a quick questionnaire and you'll be matched with a therapist within a couple days,

136

and if for some reason that first match isn't quite right, that's okay.

137

You can switch therapists at any time, no extra cost.

138

If therapy feels like the right next move for you,

139

140

So thank you to BetterHelp and let's get back into it.

141

Now next to be unbothered and detached,

142

we all know, this is common sense,

143

we all know that this requires letting go of criticism, right?

144

And how people see you and how people talk about you.

145

Not caring if people don't like you or have something to say about you or don't understand you.

146

But there is a small point from this book that really hit me.

147

You'll never be able to detach from criticism until you can detach from craze.

148

And as long as praise validates you,

149

criticism will also control you.

150

Right?

151

Think about it.

152

If you rely on people's praise to feel happy and confident,

153

then their disapproval of you will also destroy you.

154

You can't selectively detach, right?

155

It doesn't work that way.

156

But for so long, I only focused on the negative part.

157

You know, like ignoring people who didn't like me or were just like mean or whatever.

158

But then when people told me,

159

oh, you did such a good job,

160

to me it was, oh,

161

yay, that makes me happy.

162

I got a big burst of confidence from that.

163

And I never really thought about it like that.

164

If it gave me this big burst of confidence and self-esteem,

165

then what does that really mean?

166

And what happens when I don't get that?

167

And here's what the book says that made this click.

168

When you seek recognition from others,

169

approval becomes the goal, not contribution meaning you stop doing things

170

because they matter to you and you start doing things because you want people to notice.

171

It's small, but it's sneaky.

172

You post something not because you really love it or you believe in it,

173

but because you know it'll get the likes.

174

You want the likes.

175

You help someone not because you really want to contribute,

176

but because you want the thank you.

177

You achieve something or go after some goal not because it truly fulfills you deep down,

178

but because you want people to be impressed.

179

And you start subtly performing and maybe you don't even realize it because most of the time this is unconscious.

180

So you have to start doing things without needing any external response.

181

No praise, no criticism, no validation, no nothing.

182

So here are simple little ways that you can start to practice this.

183

Do something kind and don't tell anyone, right?

184

You can help someone, you contribute to something,

185

you can donate to something,

186

you can create something, and also you can keep it completely to yourself.

187

No posting about it, no mentioning it,

188

no, hey, look what I did.

189

Because if you can't do those things without wanting recognition you are still craving

190

and chasing approval and next if you're on social media post something

191

and practice being okay with the silence put something out there

192

and then put your phone down and set a time limit for yourself for

193

when you can check it again and eventually

194

when you check it did it get kind of a meh response Because if so,

195

this is perfect practice.

196

Can you still feel good about what you created and what you posted,

197

even when no one really acknowledged it?

198

If not, you're still tied to their validation.

199

Also notice when you are subtly fishing for compliments.

200

So pay attention when you say things like,

201

oh, I don't know if this is any good,

202

or I'm not really sure about this,

203

or does this look okay?

204

Even though you already know how it looks,

205

you have your own eyes,

206

you can judge for yourself.

207

What you're unconsciously doing in those moments is seeking approval and validation.

208

And lastly, ask yourself before you do anything,

209

am I doing this because it matters to me?

210

Or am I doing this because I want someone to see me do it?

211

This can be the little and the big things.

212

Am I going to law school just to look impressive?

213

Am I going to law school just to get approval from my father?

214

Or am I bringing cookies over to that new neighbor so that everybody thinks that I'm that kind,

215

amazing person, not actually because I care?

216

So the goal isn't to never feel good when someone praises you,

217

that's always going to feel a little bit good.

218

The goal is not to need it to feel good about yourself.

219

That's the difference.

220

If praise is the only thing that builds you up,

221

criticism will be what tears you down.

222

They're two sides of the same coin.

223

Real freedom is when neither one controls how you feel about yourself.

224

It's not just about having the courage to be disliked.

225

And this was a huge moment for me.

226

It's not just about having the courage to be disliked.

227

It's also about having the courage to sometimes be unseen and not have that mean anything about you.

228

All right, now this next concept is a little bit controversial.

229

This is the one that I'm warning you about,

230

but it does come straight from the book.

231

So if it resonates, great.

232

That's great.

233

If not, that's okay too,

234

and you can skip it.

235

And it's all about detaching from your past.

236

That is the point of this concept,

237

so keep that in mind.

238

So the author says in this book,

239

quote, trauma does not exist.

240

That is what he says, trauma does not exist.

241

And I know that's a bold statement and can feel a little invalidating,

242

but stay with me for a sec.

243

He's not saying that bad things didn't happen or that pain isn't real or that,

244

you know, just get over it, you whiny little baby.

245

What he's saying is that trauma doesn't come from the event itself.

246

It comes from the meaning we've continued to attach to it.

247

Because most of us are so deeply attached to our past,

248

to our old stories, to our wounds,

249

to our explanations for why we are the way we are.

250

I can't trust people because of what happened to me.

251

I'm not worthy of love because of how I was treated as a kid.

252

I'll never be successful because of how I grew up.

253

We're unconsciously clinging to these old stories and we're using our past to prove why we can't move forward.

254

And as long as we're attached to those old stories, we can't change.

255

That's just the way it is.

256

As long as we stay attached to that old narrative, we can't change.

257

Real detachment is not just,

258

oh, I'm not bothered when that person doesn't like me.

259

Oh, I'm not bothered when they don't text me back.

260

It's also being able to let go of old stories and detach from old painful experiences.

261

Those experiences happened, yes, but that doesn't mean they have to keep shaping your story and stay attached to your identity.

262

You are the one who keeps assigning it meaning.

263

That's what he says in the book.

264

And in the book, he says,

265

you are the one that's choosing to keep them around, right?

266

Those experiences, they already happened there in the past,

267

but the meaning you took from that experience is still shaping your present reality.

268

It's not the event that you're attached to.

269

It's the meaning.

270

And again, a little controversial here,

271

but in the book, he says,

272

sometimes we stay attached to these old stories and this old trauma because in some weird way,

273

it actually serves us.

274

It gives us a reason to stay stuck.

275

And in some weird roundabout way,

276

we may actually benefit from it.

277

It explains why we are the way we are without us having to do the hard work of changing.

278

So the book gives this specific example.

279

Imagine someone who says, I have social anxiety because I was bullied as a kid,

280

so I can't go to social events.

281

On the surface, it sounds reasonable, right?

282

Trauma is causing the behavior.

283

But the book, and again,

284

this is what makes it a little controversial and some people don't like it,

285

the book flips it.

286

What if they're choosing to use that past experience and keep assigning meaning to it to avoid social situations,

287

not because they can't go,

288

but because staying home feels safer.

289

And I think what he's essentially saying is there's a nice little validation of that behavior there.

290

The trauma itself isn't making them stay home.

291

They're using that trauma as permission to avoid something uncomfortable.

292

Here's another example.

293

I can't be in a healthy relationship because my parents had a terrible marriage.

294

But what's really happening here?

295

You're attached to that story because it protects you from the risk of trying.

296

If you believe you're broken because of your past,

297

you never have to face the actual vulnerability of showing up in a relationship,

298

in an intimate relationship.

299

The book says we determine our own lives according to the meaning we give to past experiences.

300

Meaning you're not stuck because of what happened.

301

You're stuck because the meaning you keep attaching to it.

302

And you're stuck to that meaning because sometimes staying stuck is easier than changing.

303

And your past gives you a convenient explanation for why you don't have to try so you don't want to let go.

304

Now, is that controversial?

305

Yes.

306

A lot of people don't like that in the book.

307

That's just a reality.

308

But I like being challenged and I did find value in this perspective.

309

I'm not trying to discount your experiences.

310

Believe me, I'm not.

311

And I'm pretty sure that the author is not trying to do that either.

312

But when I read this, it changed me.

313

That attachment to our own suffering is what quietly keeps us from ever feeling free.

314

And lastly, detachment at its core is the art of releasing control over people,

315

over outcomes, over timing of how your life unfolds and learning to trust.

316

And if you think about it,

317

almost all suffering comes from our attachment to how we think life should be.

318

It should have worked out.

319

They should have stayed.

320

I should be further ahead by now.

321

This should feel different.

322

The word should can sometimes just be control in disguise.

323

But here's the part of the book that they talk about and what I want to bring up.

324

When something doesn't go the way you planned,

325

you're not always upset about it just because of what happened.

326

You're upset because reality didn't match your story of how you thought it was supposed to happen.

327

You're attached to the version of life that only existed in your head.

328

So here's what this book helped me realize.

329

Most of your stress isn't coming from what's actually happening.

330

It's coming from the gap between what's happening and what you expected to happen.

331

You expected the relationship to work out so when it didn't,

332

you felt like something went wrong.

333

You expected to be further along in your career by now so every day that you're not there,

334

you feel like a failure.

335

You had a plan, and when life didn't follow it,

336

you interpreted that as a problem.

337

That suffering isn't from the situation itself,

338

it's from your attachment to how you thought it should be.

339

The author explains that the moment you accept life as it is,

340

you instantly become free.

341

Not because you gave up,

342

but because you stopped resisting what already is.

343

And this is the ultimate separation of tasks, right?

344

Your task is to live honestly and show up in alignment.

345

Life's task is everything else.

346

You can control effort, not outcome.

347

You can control how you show up,

348

but not how people see you.

349

You can control your actions,

350

not necessarily the timing of your results.

351

So all of this anxiety that you feel,

352

it isn't from experiencing uncertainty.

353

It's from fighting the uncertainty.

354

When you finally stop doing that,

355

when you stop resisting your current reality, something strange happens.

356

Peace.

357

Detachment brings peace.

358

And when you are calm and at peace,

359

that is when you are at your most powerful self.

360

Detachment brings peace and peace is your power.

361

And let me tell you,

362

once you stop resisting your current situation,

363

that is when you will start attracting in all the things that you desire.

364

And it sounds ridiculous.

365

It sounds counterintuitive.

366

But resistance keeps you chained to what you don't want because it's still your point of focus.

367

The moment you stop fighting it,

368

you stop fighting that resistance, you stop feeding it.

369

And that is the paradox.

370

The second you stop trying to control everything,

371

it finally starts working in your favor.

372

I hope this video maybe gave you a little bit of a perspective shift

373

and helped you to see things differently detachment goes a lot

374

deeper than just having the courage to be disliked detachment is detaching yourself from everything

375

that holds you back detachment is finally feeling free and trusting life

376

and these are concepts that i come back to time

377

and time again

378

when i feel like i need a refresher some people love this book some people don't

379

and it doesn't resonate and that's okay but again

380

if you want to take it for a spin

381

and read it yourself i will link it below now

382

if you truly want to have

383

that unbothered energy though you also have to become the master of your emotions

384

and stop reacting so much and in this video i tell you exactly how to do

385

that how to heal from that and stop being so reactive

386

so i will see you in this video

387

or i'll just see you in my next one that's fine too love you guys bye
