Hi,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hope this is a good day for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I was talking to a person yesterday who was complaining about having problems with his business. <\/span>He really was having a hard time. he had lots of problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I listened carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then I said, “What have you done to fix all these problems?”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He said, “Everything.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I asked, “Like what?” <\/span>But he couldn’t give me an answer.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I said, “Why don’t you try thinking?”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And he got mad at me!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then I explained. <\/span>I told him that he should really spend some quality time thinking about the problem AND the potential solutions. <\/span>See, I am a solution- oriented person, and that’s the way I approach things.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So that’s the way I approach bipolar disorder, too. I find with the BP it’s the same thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

People with the disorder and their loved ones say that they have tons of problems and that they can’t figure out any solutions to them (no offense).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They are always REACTING instead of ACTING. See what I mean? <\/span>See the difference?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I heard someone say once that “Life is 1% what happens to you and 99% your reaction to it.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I like that, because it illustrates what I’m talking about. <\/span>If you have a problem, you have to look for a solution to it. <\/span>Ok, so sometimes the solution isn’t so obvious. <\/span>But it’s there, it really is.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Think about just one of your problems. <\/span>Just one.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then take one hour and brainstorm solutions to it.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some solutions may be easy, and others may be hard. <\/span>Some may be impossible. <\/span>But you can still consider them. <\/span>(Someone said, “The impossible just takes a little longer.”)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some solutions may seem downright silly. <\/span>But you can still consider them. <\/span>They may even be the very solution you’re looking for! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The solution you’re looking for may be staring you right in the face. <\/span>But you won’t know until you try brainstorming solutions to your problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my courses\/systems below, I talk about problem- solving; about being solution-oriented, and about being PROACTIVE:<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit:<\/span><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You have to be PROACTIVE if you want to get out of your problems and into your solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Like the guy I was talking about who had all the business problems. <\/span>At first he got mad at me, but then he understood my point.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No one else is going to come up with your solutions for you. <\/span>You have to come up with them yourself. That’s what being PROACTIVE means. <\/span>So if you have bipolar disorder, or if you are a supporter of a loved one who has the disorder and you are stuck on a problem that doesn’t seem to have a solution, try this:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Write down the problem. <\/span>Then write down a list of brainstormed ideas of solutions to that problem. again, no matter how complicated, or impossible, or even how silly. <\/span>I guarantee, that solution is there somewhere. <\/span>If not, keep trying until you arrive at<\/span><\/p>\n

that solution. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
