When It Rains, Let It Rain: How to Find Contentment When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned

What if contentment isn’t something you find when life finally goes according to plan, but something you can practice right in the middle of the mess?After a powerful derecho tore through my neighborhood, we were left with flooded streets, fallen trees, no power, no WiFi and neighbors suddenly pouring out of their homes to help one another. Somewhere between clearing storm drains, laughing with my neighbor Sue in her red rain boots and watching complete strangers show up for each other, I realized I was experiencing something I’d recently been studying in yoga philosophy: Santosha, the practice of contentment.In this solo episode of A Beautiful Fix, we explore what Santosha can teach us about finding contentment when life doesn’t go as planned, practicing gratitude for what’s already here and letting go of our constant need for life to be different before we allow ourselves to enjoy it.Because maybe contentment isn’t about pretending everything is perfect. Maybe it’s learning to stop looking over the fence, stop waiting for the next thing and fall in love with the life that’s actually happening right now.And sometimes, when it rains, you just let it rain.Want More?Grab your Human Design chart here: https://www.abeautifulfix.com/pages/hdchartWant to unpack it together?
