Bipolar Disorder? Guard Your Mindset At All Costs
Published: Wed, 05/27/09
Hi ,
How are you doing today?
These days when you turn on
the news or read the paper there
is a lot of negatively.
I personally don't read the news,
watch the news look at news
websites.
I very carefully guard my mindset.
When I go to the gym I have
trained myself never to look at TVs
that might have news on them.
I quickly stop talking to people
who have doom or gloom to tell me.
When you are dealing with bipolar
disorder, I advise you to do the same
AND also to avoid people who are
negative about your bipolar disorder
or your loved one's bipolar disorder.
You need to be positive. You need
to be aware and prepare for anything
negative but focus on the positive
and not be saturated with negative
information.
It all has to do with your mindset.
Like in my courses.
I talk about being negative vs.
being positive, and how much that
has to do with whether you get better
or not, if you have bipolar disorder.
And, if you're a supporter, being
negative or being positive has a lot
to do with how good a supporter
you are.

But, again, it has to do with your
mindset.
I think you can choose to be negative
or positive.
And I think a lot of that has to do
with what you surround yourself
with.
For example, if you have a job
where everyone there has a
negative attitude, you're going
to have a negative attitude, too.
And you're probably not going
to like that job very much, either.
And if they gossip, you might
even be pulled into that.
On the other hand, if everyone
there has a positive attitude, the
opposite is going to happen.
The atmosphere at work will be
a more positive one, everyone
will have a better attitude, and
working conditions will be better
all around.
Now, that kind of job you'll be
happy to go to, because your own
attitude will be a more positive one.
Your mindset will be better.
Another example is, take me.
I work out a lot in the gym.
There's a lot of negative attitudes
there.
There's some guys who believe
that they won't get the bodies they
want.
That's their negative attitude coming
out.
That's their negative mindset (I think
it's because they won't do the work,
which makes them even more negative
about working out).
Where I'm just the opposite, because
I have a positive mindset.
I believe that if I stay focused, ignore
those negative people around me, and
keep a positive mindset, I will get the
body I want if I do the things I need
to do to get it.
Ok, let's look at how your mindset
affects bipolar disorder again, with
that example in mind.
If you believe that your or your
loved one's bipolar disorder is never
going to get better, you are going
to have a negative attitude.
Then, say you go to your support
group, and they think their or their
loved one's bipolar disorder is
never going to get better.
Now you're surrounding yourself
with other negative people.
So now you have a negative
mindset.
So do you think you or your
loved one are going to get better?
On the other hand, if you or your
loved one have a positive attitude
and surround yourself with positive
people...
You will have a positive mindset...
And, guess what?
You or your loved one will get
better!
See? It all has to do with your
mindset.
But, like me and my working out,
you also have to be willing to
do what it takes to get there as well.
But you can do it with a positive
mindset!
What do you think?
Have you been in the situation
where you have been surrounded
by negative people?
How has that affected you?
