Bipolar: If Life Gives You Lemons…
Published: Fri, 03/21/14
Hi,
How are you doing today?
I hope you're having a good day.
You know, if it were summertime, my goddaughter
would be wanting to have a lemonade stand and sell
lemonade.
Lots of kids like to do that.
I don't think it even matters whether they're rich or
poor, either.
I'm not sure it's even about needing the money, is
what I mean.
Like, they might want the extra money to buy something
special...
But mostly I think kids like to put up lemonade stands
and sell lemonade just for the fun of it, don't you
think?
Of course, to a lot of kids (like me), making their own
money IS fun! LOL
Speaking of making lemonade...
You've probably heard that expression:
"If life gives you lemons...
make lemonade."
Well...
I think that can apply to bipolar disorder as well, if you
think about it.
Because it means that you need to have a positive
attitude, and that's one thing that can be very
important when you're trying to deal with the ups
and downs that come with bipolar disorder.
In fact, a positive attitude is one of the things I
talk about in my courses/systems below and, as I
said, it's very important:

Your attitude can determine many things.
It can even affect your health, did you know
that?
It's true.
Even the American Heart Association promotes
having a positive attitude.
They say that having a positive attitude decreases
stress.
And since stress is one of the major factors in stroke
and heart attacks...
A positive attitude can actually prevent them!
So to stay in good health, in other words...
Have a positive attitude!
Your attitude also affects your emotional well
being.
If you're in a negative frame of mind...
It won't even matter if good things happen to you,
because you'll react to them negatively.
But the opposite is also true:
If you're in a positive frame of mind...
It won't matter if bad things happen to you,
because you'll react to them positively.
And, in that case, you will definitely react to
them with a better frame of mind.
For example:
Say you have a major problem that comes against
you.
Problems sometimes need creative solutions.
It can take a process to solve them.
And you need to have the wherewithal to be able
to do that.
If you have a negative attitude, you won't be able to
think of all the possible solutions...
Where if you have a positive attitude, you WILL be
able to think of all the possible solutions to your
problem...
Even that crazy, "it'll-never-work" answer that may
be the very solution to your problem, you never
know!
But the more positive you are, the more receptive
you will be to even consider it.
Having a more positive attitude doesn't just help
you to solve problems better, like the major problems
that come against you at times (like a major bipolar
episode)...
But it can also help you cope with the smaller day-
to-day problems of dealing with a loved one with
bipolar disorder.
Having a positive attitude is just better for you all
around.
What do you think?
