Santosha means contentment, and it's the second of the niyamas - our habits and rituals that support our journey to inner peace.

Finding contentment in the world we have created can honestly be a struggle. We are almost constantly bombarded with advertisements for whatever it is that will make us feel...whatever way we want to feel. Gosh darn it, algorithms. Enough!

Maybe we quiet the desire for more or better by actively appreciating what we already have. Or look for joy in the simple things. Or find gratitude for all the abundance that surrounds us, even when times feel tough. Especially when times feel tough.

I know it's easier said than done. But it can feel really good to push back on the way our capitalistic culture is set up and say:

I have everything I need. I have enough. Thanks anyway.
