A great habit for developing detachment about things is to always view them categorically. This applies to everything, from the least important to the most.
So when using your favorite coffee cup, remind yourself that you're inclined to like coffee cups in general, and not just this particular cup. So if, in the future, you break your cup, it won't bother you so much.
And even when you kiss your child or your spouse, remember that your affection is based on the fact that humans are capable of loving other humans. If your child or wife should die, such a mental habit will help you endure it.
