FROM THIS SHOW...

Nothing prolongs an episode of bipolar disorder like persistent and elevated stress. Our special brains are uniquely designed without the "shock absorbers" that others have to help them cope with changes and challenges.

So what's a person to do? Well I'm glad you asked!

The best practice in stress management is to attack your trigger(s) with daily rituals that put you in control of how much they affect you.

Listen as Mike gives a special "mini-training" on how to engineer every day with activities that keep the mental beatings at bay!
