“When I detach my mind from what is troubling me, my problems often solve themselves. Or it may be that leaving them to God gives Him a chance to take a hand in my affairs.” (ODAT, 29 May)
How I detach:
1. Assess the situation.
2. Figure out if there anything I can and should do.
3. Do that.
4. Stop thinking about it.
For this to work I have to unwind the investment in material outcomes. This means resolving to be cheerful and at peace whatever happens.
