Bipolar: When You’re Positive
Published: Sat, 03/21/15
Hi,
How's it going for you today?
I hope it's a good day for you.
Have you ever heard the following
expression:
“Today is the tomorrow that you worried
about yesterday.”
It's sort of a humorous way to look at a serious
subject.
It’s about how you look at life.
Like whether you're one of those people
who are always worrying from day to day.
Or 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, because it helps
you cope with the disorder better :

It just helps to look at things in a positive
way when you're dealing with life in general,
because so much of it can be negative.
But you don't have to worry all the time,
that’s for sure.
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 and outlook
about them.
If you go around expecting bad things to happen,
they probably 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 even
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.
What do you think?
