Share the love! Tell someone how grateful you are for them. Write them a text, send them an email, or tell them in person. Share the joy and let them know how meaningful they are to you. After writing your list, this practice is very simple, and can be accomplished with just two small words: "Thank you."

If you're going to pass on the gratitude to those around you, you've got to include yourself too. Give yourself some self love with these yoga poses that embody gratefulness.
Humble Warrior
Humbly bow down and surrender — and let go of everything that no longer serves you.
· From a lunge position, bend your front knee and stack it over your ankle, and point your toes forward.
· Straighten your back leg and seal your heel to the ground. Your toes should point forward, but slightly to the right.
· Interlace your fingers behind your back and pull your arm down and lift for chest up for a chest expansion.
· Hinge from your hips and bring your shoulder to the inside of your front knee.
· Let your head hang heavy, and breathe into the pose. Repeat on the other side.

Feel the gratitude for yourself. Take this moment just to breathe and open your heart up to you.
· Lie on your back. Bring the soles of your feet to touch and open your knees wide like a butterfly.
· Place one hand on your heart and the other on your belly.
· Breathe here.
