Hi,<\/p>\n

How are you today?<\/p>\n

Today I want to talk about a lesson we can all learn from this quote I read:<\/p>\n

“Work is more than earning money.”<\/p>\n

Too many people equate work with having a job.<\/p>\n

But I want you to see what this quote has to do with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

Let’s replace the word “work” with “productivity.”<\/p>\n

Now let’s talk about how important productivity is to someone who has bipolar disorder, like I do in my courses\/systems.<\/p>\n

\nSomeone who had to leave their job and stay at home because of their bipolar disorder no longer works for money, but they still need to be productive.<\/p>\n

That’s because if they’re not, they could become bored, or idle, or stay in bed, or sleep too much, or become depressed, and all these things can become triggers to a bipolar episode.<\/p>\n

So I think we can agree that productivity is important.<\/p>\n

Well, that’s work!<\/p>\n

Only it’s work without getting money for it.<\/p>\n

Now, I could have said that it’s work without pay, but the pay you get can be more rewarding than money sometimes.<\/p>\n

For example, if the work you do is to help your supporter around the house, then it’s rewarding, because you’re helping them not to stress out by doing too much by themselves.<\/p>\n

It can also be rewarding because you’ll have a closer relationship by doing things together.<\/p>\n

Your work can be your hobbies.<\/p>\n

Your work can be just taking care of yourself and your family.<\/p>\n

Another way you can work without getting paid is to volunteer.<\/p>\n

You can offer your time, which is worth more than money.<\/p>\n

If nothing else, volunteer to help at your bipolar support group.<\/p>\n

This could be for supporters, too, because they usually have their own support group.<\/p>\n

Or volunteer for an organization that could use your help.<\/p>\n

There are many of these, such as Literacy Volunteers, where you help people to read who can’t read, or others who don’t know English very well and you can help them to learn it…<\/p>\n

Or volunteer at your local Animal Shelter if you love animals…<\/p>\n

Or help with the needy… or shut-in elderly people…<\/p>\n

There is so much you can do that is rewarding, just by volunteering your time, that is worth more than money, and you will feel appreciated for whatever you do for a cause.<\/p>\n

You can also do things that are productive for yourself.<\/p>\n

You can keep a To-Do List, for instance.<\/p>\n

Put things on the list that you want to do for that day.<\/p>\n

(Don’t make it too long, because you don’t want to get too overwhelmed.)<\/p>\n

Then, at the end of the day, you will feel a sense of accomplishment when you complete the things on your list.<\/p>\n

Now, here there’s a difference between work for money and productivity as well, because you’re doing this for yourself and the management of your bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

This will help you to stay stable.<\/p>\n

And sometimes working at a paying job does just the opposite – sometimes it makes you feel nervous, stressed, and anxious, which isn’t good at all for your disorder.<\/p>\n

If you have children, being a stay-at-home parent can be work, as you know, and you don’t make money for it.<\/p>\n

But boy can it be rewarding in other ways!<\/p>\n

The lesson to be learned from all this is that work means using our time and skills to make things better for ourselves, those we love, and those around us.<\/p>\n

What do you think?<\/p>\n

Do you agree or disagree with the quote: “Work is more than earning money.”<\/p>\n

What ways have you found this to be true?<\/p>\n
