Contentment (a core yoga practice) is not the passive acceptance of life no matter what's happening... It's the active practice of showing up to what is from a place of awareness and grounded ease. It's a way of being in the world. A core aspect of contentment is gratitude, not as some consumer based cliché, but as a way of understanding the fundamentally gifted nature of life. https://www.summercushman.com/gratitude-as-a-quality-of-being/
