Bipolar Disorder? Are You Continuing This?
Published: Mon, 08/31/09
Hi ,
How are you today?
I've been noticing all the things you
can buy for a college dorm room in
the stores lately.
It's amazing, really.
Even mini-refrigerators!
And all kinds of space savers.
So it made me think about these
students.
They're going to college to further
their education.
They are trying to better themselves.
Well, you may not be going back to
college, but let me ask you this:
Are you continuing to better yourself?
Everybody has gifts and talents -
things that they are good at doing.
A teacher, for example - not everyone
can be one, and you remember the
ones that were really good for the rest
of your life.
If you have children, you want them
to have the best education possible,
so naturally you want a teacher who
has a talent and a gift for teaching.
Well, teachers always have to work
on bettering themselves.
They have to go for what's called CEU's
(Continuing Education Units) so they
can improve themselves as teachers.
People in general should try to better
themselves, too.
But a supporter particularly - that's
why one of the things I teach in my
courses/systems is how to be a better
supporter.

You need to better yourself not
just as a supporter, though, because
that's only part of who you are.
But you need to continually better
yourself as a person, too.
Your whole life should not be revolving
around your loved one's bipolar disorder.
You should have outside interests as
well.
You need to examine yourself and ask
yourself, "Am I bettering myself?"
Then ask yourself, "How can I better
myself today?"
When you better yourself, you can reach
further goals.
You can enrich your life.
You will grow as a person.
What do you enjoy doing?
You can start there.
It can even help you and your
loved one financially.
Many bipolar supporters (as
well as survivors) start their
own home businesses.
It helps with the cost of bipolar
disorder, if nothing else.
Do you like dogs?
Maybe you can become a dog
walker.
Are you good with children?
Maybe you can start a home
babysitting service.
What are you interested in?
Do you like to read?
Join a reading club at your local
library.
Do you like to help other people?
Maybe you can volunteer your
services to help others.
Or maybe you would like to go
to (or go back to) college to take a
course or two.
All of these are ways that you can
better yourself.
Bettering yourself is a way to
increase your self-esteem as well.
People who do this are always
growing.
And that's definitely an advantage
if you're supporting a loved one
with bipolar disorder.
Are you continuing to better yourself?
In what ways?
