I thought about calling the thread "All Aboard the Bipolar Express!" but perhaps that would be insensitive to those people diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Emotionally, it describes my life perfectly. It's an intense ride for me, and those who are very close to me.
Meeting me initially, you'd never know that inside I'm a roiling storm of emotion. I feel everything intensely - intense joy, intense anger, intense love, intense sorrow, intense, intense, intense. If I'm not feeling something intensely, I must be bored. Professionally, and with acquaintances, I wear a mask of calm stoicism. They have trouble consolidating me as the guy who listens to crazy death metal during his workouts, and yet writes country love songs on his guitar. I go to Mayhem Fest with my buddies to see Slipknot, and then to Keith Urban with my wife.
My goal with this program is to steer my thought patterns into a positive direction, become less prone to holding onto grievances, focus my energy more on living my own life rather than helping others live theirs, become more productive with my anger rather than destructive, overcome self-sabotage, overcome fear-of-success & failure, and dissolve the road blocks that keep me from creating happy memories and experiences with my wife & son. It's time I start accepting and validating my nature and emotions.
I read the sales page once, but I'm not going to again. I don't want expectations to cloud the changes I notice. I plan to track those changes here, as they happen.
