Awareness - The Key To Women's Self Defense
Women call it their intuition; men are a little less elegant and have a "gut feeling"
. The reality is that we get these signals all the time; it's just a question of listening and trusting this feeling.
Does this place feel safe? Do I feel OK with these people? Should I drive or walk this way home?
If you listen, you will feel an answer. It may be subtle, such as a feeling of slight discomfort, or as obvious as a chill, or the hairs standing up on your arm.
Have you ever looked at someone, and feel they that give you the creeps? Have you ever walked into as room and felt the energy was just a bit off.
Do you know why you would buy something, or are attracted to one person and not another?
We are constantly picking up on signals, but we can be fooled. We are also more likely to trust an attractive person, than someone we consider to be unattractive. This is a big trap. There have been several interesting psychological studies, which show how we can be manipulated by certain people.
So where does this leave your intuition? It's just a matter of stepping back for a moment and notice if your intuition is overriding your initial thought. After all most conman and dodgy types rely on us to be impulsive.
So what do you do if your friend agrees to jump in a car with some new guys and you have a bad feeling about it? This is a tricky situation, you don't want to abandon your friend, but it just feels bad.
You have to take care of yourself. Your friend for some reason has thrown caution to the wind. Remember that jumping in to save a drowning person isn't a good idea if you can't swim! If you refuse to go she may change her mind. It's better for your friend to be angry than one or both of you finding yourselves in a tricky situation.
You must also use your conscious awareness. Notice who is around, do they look threatening? Do they appear out of place?
Here is an awareness challenge for you. Turn the lights off in your home and learn to move around without crashing into walls, tables etc. If you can do this successfully, you may just be able to quietly evade an intruder. Treat it as a game, it's kind of fun.
The 2 big impediments to awareness and intuition are intoxication and not being in the present. If you are waiting for a bus, how will you be aware of people around you if you are day dreaming? If you are drunk how will you make good decisions?
Relax, enjoy yourself, Stay Safe.
