Bipolar Lesson From Nascar
Published: Sat, 06/13/09
Hi ,
How's it going?
You know that friend I was
telling you about recently?
The one who just doesn't "get"
his girlfriend and is ready to
give up on women altogether?
Well, you wouldn't believe
the latest thing that happened!
I'm still laughing so hard I'm
not even sure I can tell you
about it!
Ok, I'll try...
Well, he was watching Nascar
racing on TV.
And he wanted his girlfriend
to watch it with him.
As they were watching, he was
trying to explain it to her.
Well, he really thought she was
getting it, but then...
She said, "Ok, let me get this
straight."
"These cars all gather at the track."
And my friend said, "Yep."
And she said, "Then they make a
left turn."
And he thought about that, and
said, "I guess you could put it
that way..."
Then she said, "And then they
make another left turn, right?"
"Uh...yeah..." my friend
answered, as he started to feel
himself heading for the "uh-oh"
zone.
"And then they make another
left turn and another left turn...
so basically all they're doing is
going around in this big circle,"
she proclaimed triumphantly.
My friend told me he just had
this dumb look on his face, not
knowing how to answer.
"And they do this for how many
hours?" she asked him.
My friend knew he was in trouble
by then.
Because how do you explain
Nascar any differently?
It's like trying to explain golf any
differently than saying that you
hit a little white ball with a club!
Could he explain that there is
really some strategy to Nascar?
Then, just as he thought he could
explain it, he heard her exclaim...
"Oh, look honey, another left turn!"
That's when I totally lost it! I
cracked up so bad, I didn't even
care if my friend got mad at me.
I thought this story was hilarious!
So how can I relate this to bipolar
disorder (as you know I always do)?
Scroll down and I'll tell you...
Keep scrolling...
Keep scrolling...
Last time...
Ok, I'll tell you.
You can either go around and
around in circles, going nowhere...
Or you can get off the track...
Making progress and getting
somewhere.
It is about making plans and strategies.
If there are even strategies to
Nascar, there are definitely strategies
to getting better with bipolar disorder.
I discuss the idea of strategies in my
courses/systems below:

SUPPORTING A CHILD/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?

Set up your strategies, and then stick
to them.
Face it, you are in a war against this
very powerful disorder, and in any
war you have to have strategies.
What are some of yours?
