Contentment

Consider for a moment that everything is already perfect the way it is.

All the resistance you have toward your own life... let that fall away, even if only for a second.

Everything you need, it's right here.


You can worry later about what's for dinner, or what frustrating comment your partner said earlier today, or whether your jeans fit the way you want them to.

For now, notice what have you have. What you're grateful for. What effortless, beautiful, lovely place you're in.

This life.

Santosha is contentment with what is. This is not an easy thing to practice. This contentment is at the core of yoga.
