Hi,<\/p>\n

How’s it going?<\/p>\n

I hope you’re having a good day today.<\/p>\n

You know we’re in a recession.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows we’re in a recession.<\/p>\n

But there are some people that blame everything on the recession.<\/p>\n

Whatever goes wrong in their life, they complain that it’s because of the recession.<\/p>\n

Basically, these are people who would complain anyway, recession or not.<\/p>\n

They blame all their problems on something else.<\/p>\n

They have a bad attitude.<\/p>\n

A doom and gloom approach.<\/p>\n

A negative approach to life in general, and their problems in particular.<\/p>\n

And if you try to encourage them or give them advice, they may even turn on you!<\/p>\n

These people continually have problems, because they don’t have active solutions.<\/p>\n

They just complain, but don’t do anything about their situation.<\/p>\n

But it doesn’t have to be that way.<\/p>\n

YOU choose your attitude.<\/p>\n

YOU choose your approach to life and your problems.<\/p>\n

YOU choose how you handle things that come against you.<\/p>\n

In my courses\/systems, I call this being proactive.<\/p>\n

SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<\/p>\n

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<\/p>\n

Visit:<\/p>\n

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

If you determine that you aren’t going to let bipolar disorder run your life, it won’t.<\/p>\n

If you choose to have a positive attitude, you will.<\/p>\n

If you decide that you are going to take control of the disorder instead of letting it take control of you, you will.<\/p>\n

It’s all in your attitude, and in being proactive.<\/p>\n

See, some people just react to everything that happens to them.<\/p>\n

Those are the type of people I was talking about earlier.<\/p>\n

There’s a saying:<\/p>\n

“Life is 1% what happens to<\/p>\n

you and 99% your reaction to<\/p>\n

it.”<\/p>\n

These people react in a negative way.<\/p>\n

You need to be different.<\/p>\n

You need to react to life and the things that come against you in a positive way.<\/p>\n

I’m not saying that you won’t have any problems (everyone has problems), but a positive attitude<\/p>\n

will help you to solve them.<\/p>\n

Being proactive with bipolar disorder is “taking the bull by its horns,” and taking control of it.<\/p>\n

You take the approach that you can manage the disorder.<\/p>\n

You look at the different things you can do to accomplish that.<\/p>\n

You look at all your choices.<\/p>\n

You make good choices.<\/p>\n

And you make good decisions, because you have looked at all sides of it.<\/p>\n

If you are a supporter, being proactive with your loved one’s bipolar disorder means that you<\/p>\n

are alert for any signs and symptoms of an episode and prevent it from ever getting started.<\/p>\n

And being proactive in your life means that you are in control of it.<\/p>\n

Do you agree with me?<\/p>\n

How do you approach your or your loved one’s bipolar disorder and your life?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
