May He grant us His grace, His tranquility and His wisdom!\u201d \u2015 Peggy Toney Horton<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The New Year is an opportunity to let go of regrets and continue our positive growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">As I was reviewing my past year there is bitterness that needs healing. I was surprised at the grudges I was hanging on to. I know my bitterness is self-poison but it is there non-the-less. At times I thought these self-imposed grudges were healed but was surprised they are still there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">What regrets do you have that are lingering into the new year? There may have been actions that have hurt ourselves or others. We may feel embarrassed or even shame over things we have done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Perhaps, like me, you discover anger that has turned into bitterness over time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">This is a time to give to God our disappointments, with circumstances, with others, and with ourselves. One exercise that helps is to write these things individually on a piece of paper. Then wad it up and throw it in the trash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The Bible says \u201cas far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;\u201d. (Psalm 103:12-13)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Review the year. Release the negative into God\u2019s hands. Focus on our hope in God. \u201d\u2026his compassions never fail. They are new every morning;\u2026\u201d(Lamentations 3:23-24)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Now is a time to review what triggers our manic or depressive episodes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">My primary triggers are inadequate sleep, not staying with my medications, and seasonal changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Some other stressors that can trigger a bipolar episode are: addictive behaviors with drugs, alcohol, gambling, or sex; taking inappropriate drugs such as stimulants or those that have depressive effects; stress in personal relationships, such as family conflict, divorce, deaths; change in routine such as a move or change in jobs; poor diet and exercise habits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Along with triggering events an understanding of your early warning signs (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.counselingandmore.com\/uploads\/5\/7\/1\/3\/5713532\/100-possible-warning-signs-of-a-bipolar-disorder-mood-episode.pdf\"><span class=\"s2\">behaviors<\/span><\/a>) are important. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">As far as New Year resolutions, Ellen Goodman has these thoughts, \u201cMaybe this year\u2026 we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives&#8230;not looking for flaws, but for potential.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">As you review the past make list of your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myrkothum.com\/personal-strengths-and-weaknesses\/\"><span class=\"s2\">strengths.<\/span><\/a> Some of my strengths include being caring and compassionate, having an open mind, and being responsible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">What are some of your strengths? How have they helped you manage your bipolar illness and other life crisis? Find ways to put your strengths to use. Never forget you are hand-crafted by the Creator Himself. \u201cFor we are God\u2019s masterpiece.\u201d Ephesians2:10 (NLT)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Be kind to yourself. \u201cInstead of saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m damaged, I&#8217;m broken, I have trust issues\u201d, say &#8220;I&#8217;m healing, I&#8217;m rediscovering myself, I&#8217;m starting over.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Horacio Jones. Words do have healing power. The Bible teaches:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cKind words are like honey\u2014 sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.\u201d (Proverbs 16:24).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Be aware of your self- talk. Learn to use positive encouraging words for yourself. As you practice being kind to yourself you will grow in your kindness to others. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Letting go of things holding us back and focusing on our hope in God is reason to celebrate. <\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAs the old year retires and a new one is born, we commit into the hands of our Creator the happenings of the past year&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[24,173],"class_list":["post-1895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hope-and-encouragement","tag-bipolar","tag-triggers"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.1 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
