Confidence - Building On Inner Strength

Confidence: Building On Inner Strength


One of the most conflicting aspects of bipolar and background is that depending where one has arrived, there are elements of personal acceptance, and weathering all types of tribulations, while attaining fluid situations with a positive construction.

Emotions play a major role in the flux of interchanging swings, and when one is not a place where they can know how to regulate there are moments when it feels impossible to get through. In regards to self-worth, and value, bipolar people are often conflicted within.

There are days where nothing can poke through the tough confident exterior, whereas there are days when it is Swiss cheese, and every doubt, question, and motivation seeps in. It is enough for the mental capacity to be in tattered debris.

I think in order to understand these parts, its absolutely important to know what personal boundaries are. Because I feel this is where the confidence aspect resides, plus having to understand where one resides in the world is paramount for individual recovery.

For me my bipolar tends to elicit a lot of self-doubt, questioning our whole purpose of existence, and frankly this is a negative viewpoint that does nothing but inhibits personsal potential. I'm not saying that doubt is counter productive,  there are means and ways doubt can help be a motivating factor, but again it is in how its being utilized, and for those with bipolar (like myself) this can undo a lot of successes in a manner fairly quickly.

Researching is very important. Understand what you can accomplish, and what you've completed. These are starting points for recognizing inner confidence. But, also remember that in order to have accomplishments there is a lot of inner work to get there. Your life is what you want it to be, and whatever skill set, and system you adhere to, place importance upon the need to regulate doubt, constantly give yourself positive reinforcements that mean something to you.

It will take time, patience, and forthright honesty. Once you remove elements that inhibit progress, take time to appreciate what you've survived through, because these are experiences you can teach can help others with. Thanks for reading.
