Bipolar: Three Magic Words
Published: Sat, 11/17/12
Hi ,
How's it going for you today?
I hope it's a good day for you.
Ok, today I'm going to play magician for you,
and teach you three MAGIC WORDS when
it comes to bipolar disorder!
Only kidding!
Naw, only kidding about the "magic" part.
The rest is true.
Because you and I both know that there is
nothing magic about bipolar disorder.
No magic pill to cure it.
No magic wand to make it go away.
No magic words to make your loved one better.
But there are THREE words that can help you
and your loved one to manage their bipolar disorder
better:
1. CONSISTENCY
2. PERSISTENCE
3. BALANCE
CONSISTENCY
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.
In the thesaurus, consistency has other synonyms
for it, like:
symmetry, clearness, uniformity, agreement,
connection, tenacity, and conformity.
In my courses/systems I talk about how your loved
one MUST be consistent in their routine and
treatment program in order to become stable with
bipolar disorder.

If your loved one has bipolar disorder, being
consistent in their routine, with their sleep schedule,
healthy diet and exercise, gives them a greater chance
of stability with their disorder.
They also need to be consistent with their medication
and with their treatment.
These things are CRUCIAL for your loved one to
achieve stability.
Remember the "slow and steady wins the race" idea.
Consistency will eventually pay off for your loved one
in the long run.
Supporters have to be consistent as well, in their love,
support and understanding, as their loved one becomes
more consistent.
PERSISTENCE
If someone is consistent, it is much easier for them to
follow that with persistence.
Persistence is when you set your goals and you go after
those goals, not letting anything stand in your way.
Someone famous said, "If you believe it, you can achieve
it."
But I'm telling you, you cannot achieve it by sitting at
home just thinking about it.
Productivity is SO important for someone with bipolar
disorder.
Without it, it is too easy to become idle, lazy, bored,
and...
Depressed.
Which can very easily trigger someone into a bipolar
depressive episode.
Setting goals and achieving them (being productive) is
one of the best ways not only to avoid a bipolar episode,
but also to be productive.
Being productive leads to a better lifestyle, and eventually
to stability.
IF you are PERSISTENT enough to get there!
BALANCE
You also must maintain a balance physically, mentally,
emotionally, and spiritually.
It's like a table with four legs.
If one leg is out of balance, the other 3 might be able to
keep you balanced, but not by much (depending on how
strong the other 3 are).
But if 2 are out of balance, your life will definitely
be out of balance.
And when someone with bipolar disorder is out of
balance, they will go into an episode.
So balance is an absolute necessity in your loved one's
life.
You can be a big help here.
The more balanced you are, first of all, the easier it will
be for you to handle your loved one's "bipolar world."
Second of all, you will be a good example to your
loved one of what it's like when someone has balance in
their life, and want it for themselves.
So when you have CONSISTENCY, PERSISTENCE, and
BALANCE all working together, your loved one has a
VERY good chance for stability!
