=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <=\n\n
Hi,<\/p>\n

I need to talk to you about something
that is really bothering me.<\/p>\n

You know I get tons and tons of emails,
right? Well a lot of them are positive
ones, and they make me feel really good,
like ones that tell me how much these
emails help them, and others on how
much they have learned from my courses
and stuff like that.<\/p>\n

Those are the emails I really like, and the
ones I’m used to, pretty much. But then
there are the emails I get that really get
me down. And I’m not a person who
likes to get down, or who gets down
easily.<\/p>\n

But I got this email, and this woman
went on and on and on about her
problems. Now, don’t get me wrong \u2013
it’s not that I don’t care about people’s
problems, because I wouldn’t be doing
what I’m doing if I didn’t care. You
know that, right?<\/p>\n

But it’s just that I deal in solutions.
That’s what I write about and teach in
all my courses, how to find solutions:<\/p>\n

SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?

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

The solutions, right? Not dwelling
on the problems. Those who have
gotten my courses know that that is the
type of person I am. And so do you,
who are reading this email. I don’t
dwell in the negative \u2013 I dwell on the
positive, and I expect the people who
are around me to dwell on the positive
as well.<\/p>\n

So I get really disappointed when they
don’t. Like this email I got the other
day where this woman just went on and
on complaining, but didn’t offer any kind
of solution to the problems she was having.<\/p>\n

To tell you the truth, after reading that
email, I felt like I should have charged her
a consultant’s fee, like a psychiatrist would
do, just for reading (“listening to”) all her
complaints!<\/p>\n

Now again, I don’t want hate mail for this,
or people saying I don’t care, when you
know how much I do care.<\/p>\n

The point is, after all this positive email I
had read, this one negative email had the
power to bring me down. Why?<\/p>\n

So I thought about it. And I talked to
Michele about it. And she told me about
this equation she used when she was
bringing up her kids:<\/p>\n

THE 10\/2 EQUATION:<\/p>\n

Regarding negative people \u2013 If you are
a 10 and they are a 2, and you hang
around with them, you will not bring
them up to an 8, they will bring you
down to a 4.
————————————–<\/p>\n

She used this in teaching her
children how to choose their friends
wisely. But really, can’t you see
how it can be used in dealing with
bipolar disorder as well?<\/p>\n

Here, follow me with this, as I apply
it to the email I got. I can either
surround myself with positive people
or negative people.<\/p>\n

Regarding the email I got, I am the 10
and she is the 2. I could try to answer
her with positive answers, and try to
bring her up to an 8, but considering
how negative her email was, most
likely that won’t work, and she will
just succeed in bringing me down to
a 4 instead.<\/p>\n

See what she’s done already? I’m
already bummed out about it, feeling
negative, letting it upset my day to
the point that I’m writing about it on
my blog and sharing it with you.<\/p>\n

OR\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n

I can choose to stay a 10 on the
positivity scale in the 10\/2 Equation.
I can let that email go. I can surround
myself with positive people. I can
stay positive and NOT let negative
people bring me down.<\/p>\n

These are choices I can make.<\/p>\n

People like the lady in the email are
going to be negative no matter what.
They will try to get other people to
listen to them complain, but they are
not solution-oriented. They just want
someone to buy into their negativity.<\/p>\n

But we don’t have to do that. We are
TENS! We have a choice! We don’t
have to be brought down to 4’s if
we don’t want to! We can surround
ourselves with positive people!<\/p>\n

Speaking of that, I’m going to the
gym and surround myself with positive
people who are taking care of their
bodies!<\/p>\n

I’ll talk to you tomorrow!<\/p>\n

Your friend,<\/p>\n

Dave<\/p>\n
