Seeing the end of the tunnel can make you less afraid of being in the dark.
It was a rainy Tuesday in Atlanta. I wondered to what extent the weather would impact support group attendance that evening. How many might decide that venturing out simply wasn’t worth it?
Well, some did brave the elements. And their tenacity made me wonder if the forecast for wellness might be brighter for these weather warriors. Let’s look at 10 possible reasons why a positive correlation might exist between their willingness to rough the rain and their chances of realizing full recovery:
1) They are more willing to work at overcoming obstacles in day-to-day life as well as those encountered with bipolar. They aren’t easily intimidated by inconveniences, like enduring a little bad weather or working through their issues.
2) They maintain a healthy perspective. Every day can’t be rain-free, or symptom-free.
3) They tend to see the positives in life over the negatives. Though the weather outside may be frightful, attending a support group can still be delightful!
4) They have a can-do spirit and don’t give up easily. When battling the blows of bipolar, they bravely try to weather the storm.
5) They don’t look for excuses for not doing what’s in their best interest, from taking medication to getting sound sleep.
