Bipolar Disorder: Being Positive Can Change Things
Published: Sun, 10/24/10
Hi ,
How are you today?
I hope you're feeling fine.
Have you ever heard the
expression:
Today is the tomorrow that
you worried about yesterday.
It's sort of a humorous way to
look at things.
If you're one of those people
who are always worrying from
day to day.
If you project from one day to
the next what might happen.
And especially if you tend to
think on the negative side of
things.
In my courses/systems, I talk
about how you need to be a positive
thinker if you're dealing with bipolar
disorder :

It just helps to look at things
in a positive way when you're
dealing with the disorder, because
so much of it can be negative.
But you don't have to worry all
the time, either.
If you do, you're just going to set
yourself up for negative things to
happen.
Because you're going to be looking
for them.
Enough bad things are going to
happen in life all by themselves,
you don't have to help them along.
To fight them, you have to think
and act positively.
For example, when your loved one
picks a fight with you, which can
be a normal occurrence when you're
dealing with the rage of a bipolar
manic episode, you can either react
in a negative or a positive manner.
If you react in a negative manner,
it's just going to prolong the fight.
But if you react in a positive manner,
it might just de-escalate your loved
one's behavior.
So what I'm talking about are things
that may be inevitable, but that you
can do something about just by
changing your attitude about them.
If you go around expecting bad
things to happen, they will.
You'd be a sort of magnet that
bad things will be attracted to.
But it can work the opposite way,
too.
Like with people.
Have you ever noticed that negative
people seem to attract other
negative people?
But that positive people tend to
attract other positive people?
It is like a magnet sort of thing.
Think of it this way:
Your positive attitude can help
change a negative situation.
Like the example I used of
fighting with your loved one.
When your loved one is negative,
your being positive can have that
positive kind of influence on them.
Who wants to fight with someone
who won't fight back?
Now, I never said that having a
positive attitude in the face of a
negative situation would be easy.
It isn't.
But it sure gets you further, and
with a whole lot less stress.
And, hopefully, eventually, it
will turn things around for you.
Hopefully, given time, your loved
one will change.
Hopefully, they will begin to be
more like you.
And hopefully, you will begin to
experience more positive situations
than negative ones.
And, like I said, a lot less stress
as a by-product as well.
Positive people just seem to be
healthier, too.
Probably because they have less
stress, they are physically healthier.
Are you a positive or negative person?
Has it made a difference in your
relationship with your loved one with
bipolar disorder?
