How do I go about feeling content?

[Ambivalent1]

I feel like I'm constantly chasing after satisfaction but it eludes me.

 

[Pluto]

Have you ever read the book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle? He talks about the root cause. This topic is the foundation of Buddhist philosophy, too.

In a way, trying to find satisfaction is empowering the very mechanism that causes dissatisfaction. Hence, the approach of inner peace & stillness rather than gratification of whatever the mind is chasing.

If you are trying to do too much, cut back.
if you are not doing enough, try to find things you can accomplish or enjoy.
