Course duration:70 minutes
Sometimes your body is already exhausted, but your mind still thinks you can continue. This course uses a 0-10 energy scale, three-stage rest, and body scans to help you identify unconscious depletion, over-excitement, and exhaustion, reducing the collapse that follows overexertion. After completion, record a genuine finding to help you apply what you've learned to your daily life. If you experience setbacks, consider them part of the recovery curve, not failures. These exercises can help you gradually regain a sense of control and security amidst emotional fluctuations.

Lesson 377: Practice in Awareness of Bodily Energy

This lesson focuses on "Practice of Awareness of Bodily Energy." The key to learning during bipolar disorder is not to demand immediate recovery, but to first clearly understand your state, placing rhythms, signals, and risks back within a framework that allows for observation, recording, and seeking help. Use a 0-10 energy scale and three-stage rest to prevent unconscious depletion and overexertion. It's recommended to prepare a logbook: write bodily signals on the left, emotions and thoughts in the middle, and daily behavior on the right. For example: Did you speak faster? Did you want to do many things at once? Did you suddenly not want to see people? Did you feel particularly hopeless about the future? Recording is not for self-judgment, but to allow doctors, therapists, and yourself to see more authentic trends. You can also do a simple "rhythm check." Ask yourself: How long did you sleep last night? Are you more excited or more lethargic today than usual? Do you have an urge to make quick decisions, commit quickly, or completely avoid things? Answers don't need to be perfect, just truthful. Each record adds a little evidence to the path to stability. This lesson also reminds you: Don't equate symptoms entirely with personality, and don't interpret your entire life with labels. A more prudent approach is to record the extent of sleep, energy, mood, behavior, and functional impairment, and discuss it in professional therapy. Clear documentation is often more effective in driving change than repeated self-blame. At the end of this lesson, you can write down the most useful sentence: Stability is not about suppressing all emotions, but about retaining the ability to observe, choose, and seek help amidst fluctuations. May you use today's exercise as a small fulcrum to continue slowly approaching balance. Regarding the "Practice of Awareness of Body Energy," you can write down today's focus as a keyword and then observe its performance in real life over a week. If you don't achieve it one day, don't interpret it as a failure; simply return to the three basic actions of recording, resting, and seeking help. Long-term stability comes from repeated small steps, not from one-time drastic changes. This reading is suitable for listening to slowly, or you can pause in sections to give your body time to process it.

○ Music therapy guidance
Body energy awareness exercises can be accompanied by gradually slowing music. While listening, use a scale of 0 to 10 to mark your energy levels, observing whether your body is excited, tired, or idling, before deciding whether to continue, reduce tasks, or enter a three-stage rest. After the exercise, record your body's reactions, emotional changes, and the appropriate volume level. If the music causes excitement or discomfort, pause immediately and switch to a lower-stimulating sound. The focus is not on being moved by the music, but on creating more stability and a more observable space for your body.
○East-West Healing Tea Drinks
Recommended tea: Winter melon flower tea. Winter melon flower tea is mild and suitable for drinking when you are feeling your energy levels. Before and after drinking the tea, use a scale of 0 to 10 to gauge your energy levels. Observe whether your body feels excited, tired, or sluggish, and then decide whether to continue, reduce the amount, or rest. If the tea causes excitement, stomach discomfort, or sleep disturbances, please reduce the amount or stop drinking it. The key is not to rely on tea to solve problems, but to make it part of a gentle rhythm. Drink small amounts slowly each time, avoiding turning tea drinking into a new stressor.

Mandala Viewing Healing
When becoming aware of your body's energy, you can visualize a mandala expanding outwards from the center, gradually deepening in depth. Each layer you view scores your current energy level, identifying excitement, fatigue, stagnation, or stability. After viewing, decide whether to continue, reduce, or rest. Record your body's reactions, emotional changes, and most comfortable visual location. If the image excites or makes you uncomfortable, shorten the viewing time and switch to a gentler image.

○ Calligraphy and engraving therapy practice
The healing practice of calligraphy and engraving focuses on the theme of "energy measurement." Each time you write a line of calligraphy, rate your current energy level from 0 to 10. When engraving, make the "energy measurement" a stable square, reminding yourself to measure your body before acting, rather than impulsively overdrawing your energy. After practice, record the sensations in your hands, changes in your breathing, and the most stable stroke. It doesn't need to be beautiful; the key is to gradually stabilize your movements, rhythm, and body. If writing heightens your emotions, pause and instead look at the words or gently touch the paper. Each practice session should not be too long, maintaining a gentle, low-stimulation, and sustainable approach.
○ Art Therapy Guidance
This guided art therapy session uses the theme of an "energy scale." Draw a vertical scale from 0 to 10, marking the energy levels at different times of the day with colors or dots. Next to it, write down your choices: rest, reduce activity, or continue, allowing your body to participate in the decision. After completion, record your color choices, your body's reactions, and the most comfortable position in the image. It doesn't need to be beautiful; the focus is on using the image to help you see your rhythm and the next step. If drawing heightens your mood, pause and switch to lines or lighter blocks of color. Keep each practice low-stimulation and sustainable, avoiding turning creation into new stress.

○ Diary Healing Suggestions
Journaling therapy suggests using an energy scale of 0 to 10. Record your energy scores for the morning, afternoon, and evening, and write down what you did each time. Finally, determine whether it's suitable to continue your activities, reduce tasks, or schedule three periods of rest for the day. After writing, you can record your physical reactions, emotional changes, and an actionable next step. It doesn't need to be complete; the key is to put vague feelings back into observable words. If writing triggers strong discomfort, please stop and contact someone you trust. Keep each entry low-burden and sustainable, and don't turn journaling into new stress.
