Gratefulness or the Alternatives

Gratefulness or the Alternatives

Author: Ramsey Zimmerman - Holistic and Natural Health Specialist, Author, and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner August 12, 2025 Duration: 5:04

If Gratefulness is good feelings about the past, what are the alternatives, and why is Gratefulness so great? Many say that keeping a grateful state of mind is a powerful way to give our bodies a mindset to heal.  But what is up with the alternatives? What does it look and feel like to have bad feelings about the past or future, and what impacts do those have?  And what about having a positive outlook about the future? Does that help too? We can’t exactly control what happens to us, but we can choose how we try to feel about it.  Spend a few minutes pondering Gratefulness and the alternative mindset options and see what you think.
