Good morning <<First Name>>!

While it's great to pat ourselves on the back after a big accomplishment (ahem, 30 days of yoga!!), we really should celebrate and appreciate life daily. The benefits of practicing gratitude are pretty incredible - people who regularly reflect on everything they are thankful for experience more positive emotions, feel more alive, sleep better, express more kindness, and even have strong immune systems (oh so important this time of year!).

So today I challenge you to practice daily gratitude - each evening before you go to sleep, write down 3 things that you are thankful for. I've been doing this for the past few months, and I've noticed a tangible difference in my overall mood AND sleep. It can be someone or something, big or small, significant or insignificant, but try to be consistent and specific. This practice will change the way you perceive situations by adjusting what you focus on (the positive!), so you are happier and healthier no matter the circumstance.

What are you grateful of today? Share with us in the Facebook group!

Hugs,
Emily
