I have<br \/>to work out 11 times a week. My &#8220;eating<br \/>plan&#8221; is SUPER strict as well.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I have to get going to the gym<br \/>and I am already late by 19 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>I am actually lowering my body fat down<br \/>in the 6% area over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>BUT, it&#8217;s possible that I could slip up with<br \/>my program and make  a mistake or so.<\/p>\n<p>Will I be all mad? No.<\/p>\n<p>This brings up a super important topic that I<br \/>want to talk about and how it relates to<br \/>bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever known someone who <br \/>was an absolute perfectionist?  I have.<br \/>I know someone who has Obsessive-<br \/>Compulsive Personality (OCD), and for<br \/>the most part, it actually works as a<br \/>positive thing for her, because it helps<br \/>her notice the small details that other<br \/>people would miss.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m talking about a person so<br \/>picky, so much of a perfectionist<br \/>that it really bugs you!<\/p>\n<p>The need for perfection and a life<br \/>of peace usually are opposite of each<br \/>other.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever we absolutely need to have<br \/>something be a certain way, we are <br \/>usually fighting a losing battle.  Rather<br \/>than being content with simply having<br \/>the item or person, we are focused on<br \/>what&#8217;s wrong with it\/him.<\/p>\n<p>When we are zeroed in on what&#8217;s wrong,<br \/>It implies that we are dissatisfied or<br \/>discontent.  And this means that we are<br \/>focusing on the negative, instead of the<br \/>positive.<\/p>\n<p>Negative thinking, as I talk of often,<br \/>is toxic to us.  We need to be positive<br \/>thinkers, because positive thinking<br \/>is healthy thinking, as I teach in my<br \/>courses\/systems:<\/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>Positive thinking, or using daily<br \/>positive affirmations, just makes<br \/>you feel better about yourself,<br \/>and, naturally it follows that you<br \/>will feel better about others, as<br \/>well.<\/p>\n<p>As this relates to bipolar disorder<br \/>means that you can be defeated<br \/>by the disorder if all you think of<br \/>is  the negative side of the disorder<br \/>and all about what&#8217;s wrong with<br \/>it.<\/p>\n<p>If you do this, you are being<br \/>managed by the disorder, instead<br \/>of you managing it, like I always<br \/>try to teach you.<\/p>\n<p>Focusing on imperfection pulls<br \/>us away from our goal of being<br \/>proactive, from becoming high<br \/>functioning, being productive,<br \/>being supportive, being the<br \/>best we can be given the<br \/>circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>We need to take the emphasis<br \/>off imperfection and focus on<br \/>our strengths, and not our<br \/>weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p>Too many people think of<br \/>having bipolar disorder as a<br \/>weakness, when instead it<br \/>can be a strength, If you let<br \/>it.<\/p>\n<p>Fighting the dragon (bipolar)<br \/>can make you stronger, can<br \/>increase your bond with your<br \/>loved one (if you work together<br \/>to fight this disorder), can bring<br \/>out the best in you because you<br \/>can learn how to appreciate the<br \/>smaller gifts that you have and<br \/>learn to live life on life&#8217;s terms.<\/p>\n<p>The solution is to stop thinking<br \/>that you can change things that<br \/>you can&#8217;t change.  You, the<br \/>survivor, cannot change the<br \/>fact that you have bipolar<br \/>disorder.  But you CAN change<br \/>the way you manage it.<\/p>\n<p>You, the supporter, cannot<br \/>change the fact that your <br \/>loved one has a disorder that<br \/>they will have the rest of their<br \/>life.  But you can change your<br \/>own attitude towards it, <br \/>becoming more positive about<br \/>it.<\/p>\n<p>As you begin to eliminate your<br \/>need for perfection in any\/all<br \/>areas of your own life, you will<br \/>begin to discover the perfection<br \/>in life itself.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, well I have to run for the FIRST<br \/>workout today.
