=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <=\n\nHi, \n\nI hope you are doing well.\n\nLast night was the first night I went
to bed before 11:00pm. What a difference
it makes J. Instead of going
to bed at like 2:00am every night.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I was looking over past emails and
responses to them, and figured out
that the biggest one was about being
high-functioning \u2013 that the survivor
wants to be high-functioning, and
that the supporter wants their loved
one to be high-functioning.<\/p>\n

So today I want to talk about one
area associated with that, since it’s
such a hot topic.<\/p>\n

I want to talk to you about one way
supporters can help your loved one
to be high-functioning, but also how
the survivor can become high-
functioning as well \u2013 I”ll be talking
to both of you.<\/p>\n

Here it is:
You both need to focus on what you
want, and NOT on what you DON’T
want.<\/p>\n

Too many of you focus on what you
DON’T want and never focus on what
you DO want, and this is a HUGE
mistake.<\/p>\n

It has to do with your attitude, for
sure, but it also has to do with your
FOCUS.<\/p>\n

Your attitude and your FOCUS.
Both things about which I teach in
my courses, but parts of which I can
talk to you about today:<\/p>\n

SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n

SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/p>\n

If you focus on what you DON’T
want, you will be “spinning your
wheels.” You will get nowhere.
It may even make you fight with
each other.<\/p>\n

You will certainly be focusing on
the most negative aspects of the
disorder.<\/p>\n

But you can CHOOSE to focus
yourselves on the positive side
of the disorder.<\/p>\n

Here’s one way:<\/p>\n

You can make yourselves a list.
On one side, put all the things you
don’t want. For instance, you
don’t want to fight. Or you don’t
want to go into an episode.<\/p>\n

Then on the other side, put all the
things you DO want. For example,
you DO want stability, and you DO
want less episodes, and you DO
want to be high-functioning.<\/p>\n

Well, part of being high-functioning
is to be focused. Pick a goal, and
work toward that goal. For instance,
if your goal is to have less episodes,
you have to de-stress your life.<\/p>\n

So you make a list of ways you can
de-stress your life, and you set forth
to do exactly that, checking off things
as you go. It may mean switching
jobs. It may mean working from home.
It may even mean starting a home business.
Whatever it takes to de-stress your life.<\/p>\n

The main thing is that you have the
POWER to change your life. You
have the ability, especially if you both
work together toward a common goal, to
be stable, to have less episodes, and
to be high-functioning.<\/p>\n

As long as you stay focused on the
goal. As long as you work together.<\/p>\n

And as long as you work toward what
You want, and not what you don’t want.<\/p>\n

Hey, I have to run and head off to the library.<\/p>\n

Catch you tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Your friend,<\/p>\n

Dave
