contentment
Quiet inner peace
Contentment is a state of peaceful satisfaction with one's circumstances.
Unlike happiness, which may spike with joy, contentment suggests a quieter, more settled feeling—not wanting more than you have: She found contentment in her small garden and simple routines.
The adjective content describes someone in this state: I'm content to stay home tonight.
