Santosha, the yogic principal of contentment, is the thing that can sometimes feel challenging in an overstimulating world, of social media, war and climate change. This post, on your feed, is adding to the overstimulation. Of never feeling like you have enough, know enough, because there’s so much information and stimuli out there now. So how can we combat that in everyday life and find a feeling of contentment and peace within ourselves, without spending all your hard earned money?
It’s not about ignoring problems, rather addressing them from a place of grounded stability. Things I find help :
1) a regular meditation practice. Guided, unguided, 10 minutes or 30 minutes, sitting with yourself, your breath, taking pause to be completely present will bring you back to what is actually important to you.
2) prioritize time with people that make you feel like a whole human. You know the ones! You can belly laugh or honest deep dive chat over a coffee or a wine. Dance wildly to beyonce in the kitchen. Read your books next to each other. It has an uncanny way of pressing the reset button.
3) Get outside. Now I know a lot of my audience is from the north of England and it’s January 😂 but get your coat on, trek to your nearest park and get amongst the crisp air and the trees. Take your headphones out and listen to the sounds of nature around you, even for 10 minutes. There’s so much research around how transformative this is, and it’s FREE ✨
However you need to reset so that you can navigate life in all of its beauty and discomfort, do that. I’m sending love ❤️
