Acceptance is one of the most important concepts we need to understand in order to learn to thrive with bipolar and depression. Acceptance does not mean to give up. It rather marks the beginning of transformation.

This course will help you maintain a healthy attitude through the process of getting to know yourself. You will learn about facing your condition without beating yourself up in the process. And to make self-discovery something to joyfully embrace instead of something painful to resist and therefore harmful.

The meaning we place on words has a tremendous influence on how we experience our condition. Challenging others' perceptions of our condition is very important to experiencing a paradigm shift in the way we view our condition and our approach to living with it. Unlinking symptoms from our reactions to them cannot be accomplished without challenging the definitions of mania and depression. In this lesson learn to help others and ourselves re-define what this condition means to us and the world.

Equanimity means even-minded under all conditions. The ultimate goal of Bipolar IN Order is achieving this state in our lives more and more often. Until we can access it even in the most difficult times.


When in equanimity, our wisdom guides all of our actions and we stop seeing one state as more valuable than any other. Our preferences cease to exist and we feel blissful in all circumstances. Central to my beliefs is that every moment of our lives is an opportunity to be in bliss, but we avoid those with the most potential because we think that the difficult experiences need to be removed first. Learn how adopting this principle can change your perception of your states and condition.

What You Will Learn

--To be even-minded under all circumstances.

--To understand equanimity and how to achieve it.

Are there ideas you always assumed were not true, but that became profoundly meaningful once you took the time to fully consider their implications? This course teaches the concept of wrestling with an idea and how it applies to making bipolar an advantage in your own life.

What You Will Learn

--Strategies for applying the concept of wrestling with an idea in an effective manner.
--How to apply the wrestling with an idea specifically to Bipolar Advantage concepts.

Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, Social, and Career/Financial Specific Assessments meant to help you discover the areas of strength and functionality vs the areas of weakness and adversity in your current understanding of Bipolar IN Order.
