It's not easy. Some people fly through their journey with ease, according to their karams. Others, find it difficult, which many times as I have. It all depends on how bad one has it and the main thing is we can't do anything but stay in Hukam, and when we are able to, change what we can for ourselves and others.
When I feel I can't cope, I sometimes listen to:
ਜਿਉਜਿਉਤੇਰਾਹੁਕਮੁਤਿਵੈਤਿਉਹੋਵਣਾ॥जिउजिउतेराहुकमुतिवैतिउहोवणा॥
As is the Hukam of Your Command, so do things happen.

Rather than detaching myself from the world, I try to find ways round whatever is an obstacle or not is as expected. This is because we are not meant to run away from the world either into the mountains to cut ourselves off completely. The good thing about Sikhi is one can recite God's name and sing their praises whilst within the world and amongst different souls.
This life is the best chance we have to do that, and we need not detach ourselves from the world, as that will happen when we leave this world anyways. So whilst we are here, I think to myself, do it now in the present as you don't know what's round the corner. Collect the real wealth that is going with us, when our souls leave.
These two shabads I like listening to, to remind me of why I'm here.
