Hi,<\/p>\n

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

Today I am going to be doing a lot of planning for this up coming year.<\/p>\n

With New Year’s just passed, the thought came to me, “Where will I be a year from now?”<\/p>\n

Good question, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

You know so many people do not think of this question which is very strange to me. I am a huge planner and that’s how I get results.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it was a hard question to answer, once I started thinking about it, though.<\/p>\n

I started thinking about past years, and the goals I had set for myself, those that I had met and those that I hadn’t met. As well as those I have yet to meet.<\/p>\n

In my courses\/systems, I stress the importance of setting short-term and long-term goals:<\/p>\n

\nI think it’s really important to set short-term and long-term goals. But I also think that they have to be realistic.<\/p>\n

That’s why I think a lot of people fail to keep their New Year’s resolutions – because they’re not realistic.<\/p>\n

So where do you think you’ll be a year from now?<\/p>\n

Think about it.<\/p>\n

Do you want to be where you are today?<\/p>\n

Because if you don’t, you’re going to need to change.<\/p>\n

You’re going to need to change some things, and most importantly, you’re going to need to change yourself.<\/p>\n

“Don’t fix what isn’t broken,” someone once told me.<\/p>\n

Well, that’s not what I’m asking you to do.<\/p>\n

If something is working for you, then definitely don’t change that (unless it’s harmful to you).<\/p>\n

But if something is harmful to you or your disorder, then it needs to be changed.<\/p>\n

For example, take your medication.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been having problems with your medication, like if it hasn’t been working as good as it was, then maybe it’s time for a change. Call your doctor and tell him about it.<\/p>\n

Or if you’ve been having side effects but you haven’t wanted to bother your doctor about them, or you’ve been too afraid to talk to your doctor about them, you need to change that. Call your doctor and tell him about them.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t been getting very much out of your support group, you might want to think about changing support groups.<\/p>\n

Keep thinking about where you want to be a year from now. Keep that thought in mind as you consider things.<\/p>\n

If your relationship with friends and family hasn’t been the best, then you can change that in the coming year. Do you want it to be different a year from now? Do you want it to be better? Then do something about it now.<\/p>\n

Have you been having trouble with your bipolar disorder?<\/p>\n

Have you not been sticking to your treatment plan?<\/p>\n

Have you been skipping doctor, psychiatrist, and\/or therapist visits?<\/p>\n

Do you want it to be different at this time next year?<\/p>\n

Then start being compliant with your treatment plan now.<\/p>\n

For supporters, have you wanted to be a better supporter? Then start now.<\/p>\n

For those with bipolar disorder, have you felt like you’ve been taking your supporter for granted? Then change that now. Maybe there are things you promised yourself you would get to that you just haven’t done yet – that you’ve made excuses for, or haven’t made the time for. You can still do them. Just make them a priority so that next year at this time you can say that you did them!<\/p>\n

Is there some dream or accomplishment you’ve been putting off? Make this year the year that you finally do it!<\/p>\n

You can do anything you want with this year! Just ask yourself:<\/p>\n

Where will I be a year from now?<\/p>\n

Where WILL you be a year from now?
