Bipolar depression getting you down? My goal every day is to go to bed feeling better than when I woke up. I find this goal attainable when I’m in a deep depression. If I set my goal too high- such as not being depressed at all when I go to bed, I’m often disappointed. But… if the goal is to get better throughout the day, it’s always attainable. My down swings are less than 25% of what they used to be. This is due to medications that work and my plan to do something each day to get better.
I started this plan 20 years ago and it started bearing fruit many years later.
If you start today and make small changes, you life WILL be better year by year.
Long term change- such as a 75% reduction in depression symptoms takes time.
Feeling better when you go to bed is a short term goal you can do TODAY.
My book Get it Done When You’re Depressed lists all of the different fruits of change that can grow on your tree. woo!
