The keys, for me, are to be patient with myself and not to press to get things done in a given amount of time. I also need to fairly quickly recognize when I am feeling frustrated and remind myself that I don't "need" to accomplish my goals in order to make myself feel good. I can be happy right now. I write much about that sort of thing in my book Blessed with Bipolar. http:www.bipolarman.org - Rich I don’t really have any New Year Resolutions for 2010, but I did learn in 2009 that, in spite of having bipolar, I can accomplish my goals.
