So if something is in <br \/>proportion to something else, I would like<br \/>that.<\/p>\n<p>So you&#8217;ve got peace of mind on one side of<br \/>the equation, and you&#8217;ve got time spent in<br \/>the present moment on the other side of<br \/>the equation.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, I can see that, can&#8217;t you?  Kind of like<br \/>the balancing scales of the astrological<br \/>sign Libra, or the sign we have for law.<\/p>\n<p>And you can tip these scales either way.<\/p>\n<p>So, say you start worrying about tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Well, first of all, tomorrow isn&#8217;t here yet,<br \/>and like I say in my courses a lot, you need<br \/>to re-train your emotional self to live in <br \/>the moment, not to dwell on the past or<br \/>to worry about the future, because it<br \/>will make you as sick as your loved one<br \/>with bipolar disorder:<\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11\">http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com\">http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net\">http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But the point is, if you tip the scales<br \/>heavy on the side of worrying too much<br \/>about tomorrow, you are not living in <br \/>the present moment and the other side of the<br \/>scale is going to tip lighter, meaning that<br \/>you will LOSE some of your peace of mind.<\/p>\n<p>And, well, it goes to follow that you just<br \/>can&#8217;t have TOO MUCH peace of mind,<br \/>so the scales will never tip too much on<br \/>that side!  <\/p>\n<p>But what you want to do is to have a<br \/>balance, so that the scales just won&#8217;t<br \/>tip at all on the side of worrying,<br \/>or any other negative thing that will<br \/>cause the side of peace of mind to<br \/>lessen, or for you to lose any of your<br \/>precious peace of mind.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you do this?<\/p>\n<p>First of all, like you learn in my courses<br \/>and systems, you try to be a more<br \/>positive person.  And you can do this<br \/>through practicing positive <br \/>affirmations, replacing negative<br \/>thoughts with positive ones, all the<br \/>ways to practice being in the present<br \/>moment (and making that moment<br \/>a positive one).<\/p>\n<p>But the point is, you have to do <br \/>Something!  You can&#8217;t just expect<br \/>that the scales will always remain<br \/>balanced if you do nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Remember back when we learned<br \/>to be PROactive instead of<br \/>REactive?  You have to do something<br \/>positive to keep your peace of mind<br \/>scales in balance.<\/p>\n<p>Do things that make you feel good<br \/>about yourself.  Eat right.  Exercise.<br \/>Practice good sleep habits.  Do the<br \/>Mirror Exercise.  Use positive<br \/>affirmations.   <\/p>\n<p>Practice relaxation<br \/>and stress-relief exercises.  Do<br \/>hobbies and fun things in your life.<\/p>\n<p>Make this present moment an<br \/>excellent moment to be in!<\/p>\n<p>Hey I have to run and get some work done.<br \/>Catch you tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Your Friend,<\/p>\n<p>Dave<\/p>\n<p>===>> Great Resources For You <===\n\nGet Your Own Subscription To This Newsletter<br \/>Want your own copy of these daily bipolar<br \/>emails sent to you for F.ree?
