Mind the gap

How do I fill the gap between Adventurer to not?

From trail runner to sofa sitter?

Santosha: contentment

One of the yoga niyamas, values practiced in life.

What is Santosha? – Definition from Yogapedia

It denotes contentment and a lack of desire for what others have. The term is derived from the Sanskrit and reminds us to enjoy the in between moments of joy. This is where it is important to meditate and be in the moment. My walk to arete is always an adventure! My adventures have a new look.

Adventures

Young children have no preconceived ideas about what they should be doing. They just Do! Dig in the sand, delight in finding a crab shell, get excited when they can count to 10. Not rushing to the next thing with big expectations. This is my lesson. My life is one big adventure. No I am not hiking or skiing but I can see the mountains from my walks and I can sit on my paddleboard with help from my tribe. In between, I can enjoy conversations with friends. My life is full. There is no gap other than what my ego tells me.

My update:

What I can do:

  • Scratch my head with left hand
  • Open and close left hand
  • Squats for the whole song.
  • Wash my hands
  • Stand and balance with my eyes closed.

  2. Comme tu as raison !!! Il faut profiter de chaque instant à fond sans se préoccuper du lendemain et ne pas vouloir plus chaque jour… C ‘est ça vivre au jour le jour ! S’extasier de tout et de rien, de petites choses qui font le plaisir du moment partagé avec amis et famille, comme tu le fais. Bises
