In fact, the inner detachment is the true test and goal. When you can witness people, events, and things in the outer world with great calm and clarity, you will find you can easily witness the play of your mind and emotions well, too likely for the first time in your life. Additionally, when you can easily witness any and all of your thoughts and mental images, turn your focus to your emotions. Become a detached witness of the rivers of your feelings. The technique of detachment is fairly easy for most everyone with good mental health.
Most people find the practice difficult the first two or three times they try.
Detachment is, after all, a different way of viewing the world and yourself. You gain greater understanding of your personality and true nature. Your memory improves. Your emotions become more integrated and constructive. Your perceptions of your life and relationships become more accurate and, likely, more satisfying.
