You need to understand why you are detaching.

When I say "Why?" I mean really understand why these things don't matter nor should we place absolute significance to their importance.

You need most of these things to live as a functional human being but they are also in abundance, therefore you need to understand that you don't need them immediately and all the time. You lose a girl? Well there's literally another 50-100m in any given continent that would be perfect for you.

There needs to be understanding before you meditate. Meditation in my mind, means bringing back perspective to your life when you lose touch.

But first you need the perspective that you can meditate yourself back to and you can get this through understanding who you are, what you want, and what the world can realistically provide for you.
