The Best Thing for Bipolar
Published: Sun, 05/23/10
Hi ,
How's it going?
I hope you're having a good day.
I'll tell you right now that I'm not
an artist.
I know, I know, that probably
surprises some of you. LOL
But I'm a terrible artist.
Now, my goddaughter, she's the
best fingerpainter around!
Whether she grows up to be an
artist, well, that remains to be
seen.
But she'll be something great, I
know (not a prejudiced bone in MY
body!).
What I am great at is running
www.bipolarcentral.com and helping
people with bipolar disorder and their
families.
That's what I'm best at doing.
You're best at something, too, I'm sure.
And I wouldn't be best at doing what you
do, any more than you would be best at
what I do.
Everybody has their own "best."
Everybody is cut out for something.
My mom is best at talking to people on
the phone.
She amazes me.
The way she can talk to people, like
she's known them her whole life!
And the way they open up to her,
like she's their best friend!
But, like I said, everybody is best at
something.
And if you get to do what you're
best at doing, that's when things
really come together.
It's part of what I talk about in my
courses/systems when I discuss concentrating
on the positive and not the negative:

Being the supporter of a loved one with
bipolar disorder, one of the things you need
to do is to encourage them to do their best,
to be their best (at whatever they are best at
doing).
Why?
Because they may be prone to depression,
so a high self-esteem is crucial to fighting
that off.
And what better way to have a high self-
esteem than to feel good about what you're
doing?
You feel good about what you're doing
when you're doing what you're best at
doing.
Even people in big business know this.
That's why they now have these proficiency
exams and personality exams that they give
people even before they hire them.
They understand that if you're not happy
at what you're doing, well, you're not
going to stay an employee very long,
and they've just wasted a lot of time
and money.
When you're dealing with bipolar disorder,
you want to be happy.
So it's the same principle.
Simple.
Do what makes you happy.
Do what you're best at doing.
Maybe you're the artist that I'm not!
Or a writer...
Or you like working with wood...
Or with people...
Or in the garden...
Or making crafts...
Or running your own business...
Maybe you're not even sure of what it is.
You can make a list of what your
interests are.
Just brainstorm, and get some ideas, and
go from there.
If you love to read, you might consider
volunteering at the local library.
If you love to shop, you might consider
becoming a personal shopper or a mystery
shopper.
The important thing is that you do what you
do best, and that you like what you do.
When you have bipolar disorder, it's very
important that you stay productive. It keeps
you from becoming idle and depressed.
What about you?
What are you best at doing?
