How to Achieve Success from a Post-Stream Entry 26 yr old Landlord with Bipolar 1

[BipolarGrowth]

Short and sweet 2 minute video. You won’t awaken as much in a holistic and balanced way if you aren’t pursuing other avenues of self-actualization. 
 

 

Next watch this if you want to live life to the fullest: 

This video was recorded on my bike ride/walk (I’m not fit enough today to bike the whole way, but I’ll do my best to be fit enough tomorrow) to the gym. I wake up every day at 4:34 am. The best way to beat bipolar insomnia is to wake up early and work your ass all fucking day. I used to have problems with punctuality and waking up early a year ago. I was 15 minutes to 1 hour late to work for about 8-10 months straight. None of this would’ve been possible without stream entry. 
 

Reward yourself for every disciplined and self-controlled action you take. “When I can meditate well for five minutes, I can go eat that piece of toast.” “When I ride my bike to the gym at 5 am, I get to use the massage chair at the gym.” “When I finish my workout, I can go to Starbucks and buy a tasty drink.” Etc…

Can a mod move this to the self-actualization sub forum please?

1:20 That's "mania" talking, right ? 

Man I know your Bipolar thing is serious and all of that but it's so cool how it makes you talk, ( confident + cool tonality of voice).

@BipolarGrowth I've bookmarked this thread because the discipline technique in the last paragraph, and the Greg Plitt Quotivation video, are simply exactly what I know a distant future me would love to be reminded of (and hopefully not forgotten)!

Golden <3 stay awake keep dreaming ;D

It’s transcended mania in many ways, at this point at least. The key is to learn to fuse the mania/higher spiritual states with your normal life such that you can operate respectfully in public no matter what is going on internally. I’m not saying manic elements aren’t in my life — they certainly are to a degree. I just am not being run by them anymore. I’m using them as tools. When you choose to create a strong routine and push yourself as a bipolar person with the right foundation of personal and spiritual development, it becomes a lot more controlled.
