Hi,<\/p>\n
I heard a funny expression recently that I wanted to share with you (we just can\u2019t be serious all the time, you know?) It goes: \u201cToday is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.\u201d Isn\u2019t that cute? I thought it was (then again, you might think I\u2019m a little bit crazy lol).<\/p>\n
But it kind of has to do with what I wanted to talk to you about today. See\u2026There are some people who are worriers. You know what I\u2019m talking about? Maybe you know someone like that.<\/p>\n
And these people are going to worry about things no matter what happens. No matter what you say to them. They\u2019re just going to worry, because that\u2019s what they do. All the time. They\u2019re just worriers. That makes them very negative people.<\/p>\n
These type of people get sicker than other people. Did you know that? It\u2019s true. Oh, not just the hypochondriacs who worry that they\u2019re sick (when usually they aren\u2019t, they\u2019re just worried that they are).<\/p>\n
But people who worry are generally more stressed than people who don\u2019t worry. But people who don\u2019t worry are less stressed. That\u2019s because they\u2019re generally more positive than the people who worry.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s like what I talk about \u2013 about how you need to have a positive attitude when you\u2019re
\ndealing with a loved one with bipolar disorder, because you\u2019ll do better.<\/p>\n
But people who worry live in fear. And that\u2019s the bottom line. I don\u2019t want you to live in fear.
\nI mean\u2026Yes, you fight a battle. And bipolar disorder is a very serious thing. It can even be fatal.<\/p>\n
But if you worry about it\u2026If you live in fear of it\u2026You\u2019ll just worry yourself sick. Really \u2013 You could seriously make yourself sick over it. Because worry can bring stress.<\/p>\n
And stress has been known to bring illness on people. Stress can even cause heart attacks and strokes. Yes, stress can be deadly. So you want to be as stress-free as you can. Not just for your loved one, but for yourself as well.<\/p>\n
Because what good are you going to be to your loved one if you\u2019re no good to yourself? You can\u2019t take care of them if you\u2019re first not taking care of yourself.<\/p>\n
I know, I know. I harp on that a lot. I do, because I want you to listen to it. You are a very important person. Not just an important person in your loved one\u2019s life, but a very important person in life itself.<\/p>\n
And you do need to take care of yourself. You don\u2019t need to worry. And you don\u2019t need to live in fear. You need to live life the best way I know how: \u201cOne Day at a Time.\u201d Just do the best you can, with a positive attitude, one day at a time.<\/p>\n
Well, I have to go!<\/p>\n
Your Friend,<\/p>\n
