Makin' Metaphysical Lemonade

EPI 77: Makin' Metaphysical Lemonade July 16, 2023 Tonight is directly about bipolar disorder, something I haven't done in many episodes. The reason for this has been shared on my show repeatedly. But something happened that shifted my opinion about the way I'm handling this topic to a more positive perspective. I learned the hard way to stop trying to save bipolar afflicted people in any direct fashion. Back when I used to try, the Universe spanked me hard, hitting my sore bum from multiple angles. After "failing" to help people beat bipolar in the way that I did, I also came to realize that I wasn't even interested in trying anymore, beyond being a passive receptacle for the system I created to do so. But bipolar was and still is a key component to my value and what it is I offer to the world. So the word has remained within my brand. But how to use the positives of my experience, working primarily with people who've never had bipolar, or don't have bipolar as a key issue in their lives, without drawing those who wish to be "saved", as often used to happen? Turns out, I think I've finally mastered what that looks like, because the results in my day-to-day are proving that my fears ares simply not materializing. Now listen: these fears used to be valid. And they caused me massive confusion and frustration as I tried to straddle the line between my new world and my old, without muddying either with the other's presence. Well, it seems, based on the past couple years or so of putting myself out there, that my concerns in this area are no longer a concern. I can't tell you how hard this has been on me, nor how relieved I am that it's over. But you might face a similar disparity in mission intent, or should I say, commingled mission intents. How to solve this? Well, direct feedback from the world is needed. Keep at it until enough data arrives to clearly provide the clarity you seek. The rest? Quiet time and private talks with those whose opinion you value. Then more quiet time. Transcript Just click the "READ MORE" text below for the transcript! Read More Hey, this is Ken Jensen. I beat bipolar disorder in an all natural fashion back in the mid 2 thousands. And believe it or not, that's not even the coolest part of my story. What I learned through that process and what came next and how that applied to bipolar and why bipolar was ever even part of the process, was mind blowing to say the least. Bipolar has hidden within its strengths. I'm gonna show you what I mean and how they've shown up in my life so you can do the same.
