Dealing with Bipolar? Earning Stability – Can You Do It?
Published: Wed, 05/26/10
Hi ,
I hope you're having a
good day today.
You know that I have several
businesses that I run, so I have
many employees.
Many with mental disorders,
as well.
I even find that the people
with mental disorders do better
than those that don't have a
mental disorder. Isn't that
strange?
I wonder why that is.
But anyone, bipolar or not,
supporter or survivor, can
understand the concept of
earning something.
I had someone tell me once that
you don't get anything out of
life unless you put something
into it.
I think that's true.
Like, you can't expect to get
paid for doing work that you don't
do - that's not honestly earning a
wage.
It's not fair to your employer.
It's not fair to the customers.
And it isn't even fair to you.
In my courses/systems, I talk about
how being productive can be a great
way to keep depression away.

I have this one woman who works
for me that is going on vacation.
Why?
Because she earned it.
How?
Well...
1. She shows up and is prepared to do her job.
2. Besides doing her day to day work, she takes
on extra projects to help me.
3. She makes and meets both long-and short-term goals.
4. She looks for ways to improve things, like developing
systems.
5. She is honest with me and tells me when she is having
a bad bipolar day (in other words, her communication
with me is good).
6. If something isn't working, she changes it (both
professionally, and personally, like with her bipolar
disorder).
7. She is very productive, and good at her job.
8. She is stable - I can count on her.
9. She is a pleasant, friendly, and loyal employee.
10. She works very hard so that she is worth giving
a vacation to.
So how does all this relate to
bipolar disorder?
Well, it's like earning stability.
You have to do certain things to
earn it.
For instance, if you work really hard
at the things that can make you stable,
you should expect that you will
eventually get stable.
But remember my point about this
woman being such a good employee
because she takes care of things
day to day?
You need to do that with bipolar
disorder, too.
Take care of the days, and the weeks
will take care of themselves.
Like my employee, you also need to
do what's required of you.
Like taking your medications and
seeing your doctor, psychiatrist and
therapist.
You need to make and meet long-
and short-term goals as well.
You should be pleasant and friendly,
with a good positive attitude toward
getting stable.
It really is like working at a regular
job, isn't it?
But that's what you have to do if
you want to earn stability.
Do you feel like earning stability
is possible for you or your loved
one?
