Think Like an Athlete<\/p>\n
I like to talk with people who have achieved excellence in the sporting world. Their dedication and perseverance are similar to what it takes to manage bipolar disorder successfully.<\/p>\n
Here is a great quote:<\/p>\n
You can neither win or lose if you don\u2019t get into the game.<\/p>\n
How true. I often get scared and stressed when I approach a new book deal. There is always the chance of a no- but there is always the chance of a yes- so I stay in the game. I always get sick bipolar wise when I write books with strict deadlines- I often feel I can\u2019t go on. But I do and I\u2019m glad I stick it out. When I do interviews for my book Get it Done When You\u2019re Depressed, the interviewers inevitably ask me about my Think Like an Athlete tip. Athletes keep going no matter what- and we can too. If you\u2019ve never tried it, a batting cage or driving range are a lot of fun and a great way to get out of a depression.<\/p>\n
I have been thinking lately that it would be fun to go to a driving range and see if I can still hit a ball. Maybe there is a golf pro out there who would like to give me some tips! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
