11 Letter Bipolar Magic Word
Published: Sat, 07/16/11
Hi ,
How's it going for you today?
I hope it's a good day for you.
Today I want to talk to you about:
AN 11 LETTER BIPOLAR MAGIC
WORD!
Now, I know I'm always telling you
there are no magic words when it comes
to bipolar disorder, so before you get
out the rocks and start stoning me, let me
explain!
You will want to hear about this word,
believe me!
And you would never guess this 11 letter
word, so I'll just go ahead and tell you
what it is:
CONSISTENCY
Bet you'd have never guessed that was the
word, huh?
But this one word is magical in the sense
that when it comes to bipolar disorder it
carries a lot of power with it.
Just like the story of the tortoise and the
hare, and the lesson that you learned about
"slow and steady wins the race," you must
then follow it with consistency.
Consistency in the thesaurus uses other
synonyms for it, like:
- symmetry
- clearness
- uniformity
- agreement
- connection
- tenacity
- conformity
I think I would add another word to that
list: balance.
In my courses I talk a lot about having
balance in your life:

One of the definitions of consistency
is persistence.
So if you put all that together, you get
someone who is persistent in their goals,
who has a real connection and conformity
to their treatment.
You see where I'm going with this?
You need to be consistent with your treatment
to be successful at managing your bipolar
disorder.
Actually, I'll take it a step further, and talk to
supporters - you have to be consistent as well,
with your own "program", your own regimen or
routine, so that you can be successful as well.
Someone famous said, "If you believe it, you
can achieve it."
But you cannot achieve it by sitting at home just
thinking about it.
You CAN achieve it by using CONSISTENCY
and persistency, though!
There are many times when the supporter has
to believe in their loved one more than they
believe in themselves.
Bipolar disorder can be a very discouraging
disorder.
And sometimes your loved one can feel as if
they're never going to recover, or never even
achieve stability.
You can encourage them by telling them about
CONSISTENCY
And how being consistent can keep you from
having bipolar episodes and eventually become
stable.
It would also help if you were consistent
yourself.
If you have consistency (or balance) in your own
life, you will be a better supporter, and a good
example for your loved one.
The ones with bipolar disorder that have been able
to achieve stability are those who were able to be
consistent in their lives.
They keep a balance to their recovery.
They take their medication the way they are
supposed to.
They follow their treatment plan -
They go to all their appointments when scheduled.
They go along with what their doctor, psychiatrist,
and therapist say, but they also realize that they are
a part of their own treatment team, and they speak
up when they need to.
This, I believe, is what leads to stability.
What do you think?
