Exercise
Your mind feels like it’s going a mile a minute, so that would be a good time to train your body to do the same. All the extra energy of mania is best put to use physically.
No matter what exercise you enjoy—walking, running, biking, hiking, or dog sled racing—use your mania to shed a few pounds, get around town, or practice for an Ironman.
Also, getting into a regular exercise routine does wonders for your health, especially for preventing depression symptoms and helping to beat stress. Healthline
just a stab in the dark.

Stay True to Yourself
Mania may bring delusions of grandeur into your mind, or make you feel invincible, but you need to remind yourself of who you are during your mania. As much as you feel like it, you’re not a superhero. You are human today just as you were yesterday. You have things you love in your life that need attention and forsaking them during your mania only hurts it.
Even if you need to get them tattooed across your forearms, your goals, ambitions, and hard work shouldn’t be erased by the frantic, fleeting desires of mania. As you already know, the feelings won’t last but the repercussions just may.
One Last ThingNo matter how great you feel during mania, remember that it won’t last. You’ll fluctuate back to normal, and possibly back into depression. Never neglect your treatment during mania, no matter how tempting it is.
Mania is temporary, but its effects may not be.
