I’d much rather prevent things from ever reaching that stage.
I want to help you develop a lifestyle that offers you maximum self protection.
It’s all about giving you assurance.
Size, age and physical limitations should not be an issue in learning to protect yourself.

Literally all I could do was lay in bed, and pray I did not have to get up to go to the bathroom. A person can get dehydrated this way.</span></div>

Netflix, Hulu, books but even that got old. So </span><br />

Those things are addictive.</span><br />

I don’t play those games often and I got drawn into this one. </span><br />

The year of persecution. Well let’s just say the year when a LOT of people felt persecuted. I am sayin “felt” because most of it was perceived persecution (say that 5 times fast).</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

They wanted peace on earth. Unfortunately most of them try to achieve this goal, using the same type-casting, racism, misogyny, bigotry. They did it by being mean, name calling, and finger pointing. We became a society of weenie head, soft and spineless individuals. Things were carried way too far.</span></div>

The year of being offensive. As the pendulum always swings both ways, things were bound to reach the opposite extreme. People started becoming offensive on purpose. Saying and doing hurtful things, and ridiculing the people they so offended. Let’s face it, we ALL have buttons to push, we ALL have things we find offensive, we ALL have lines we will not cross. Being purposely mean to a person or a group will not endear you to them , or change their mind and ideals. The very things you are accusing others of doing, you are doing yourself, being blind to your own actions and choices</span></div>

We stand together in groups, family, packs. We stand together, defend each other and support each other. Even if we don’t like a certain individual in the group, we will still defend and protect them. Why? Because we are rallying around a common core, because there is power in numbers. Something we can hold on to when things fall apart, something that makes us strong as a group. And who do we pick on?? From kindergarten to politics, we pick on those outside of our ‘tribe”, those who are different in our eyes.</span></div>

I guarantee that at times it will be very difficult, the only thing you might have in common with someone is that you both brush your teeth. But when you find things in common, you will see things with new eyes, you will form new bonds, new tribes. It is difficult to hate someone you have things in common with. Will this bring peace on earth? No. But will it might your life better? Yes. Living with hatred in your heart is poisonous and toxic. There so many things that can occupy your brain and your life beside hatred. Choose those things. Choose to see the good in people and in things, instead of nitpicking and fault finding. </span></div>

So much going one here.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<u>First</u>: don't be rude, respect other people's personal space. Show others the common courtesy you want to be shown. In other words, don't be an asshole<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<u>Second:</u> NEVER think that no one will hurt you because you are old, small, young, female, handicap, or in anyway a typical person no one SHOULD pick on. Some people just don't care<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<u>Third</u>: Assume the best but ALWAYS be prepared for the worse<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<u>Fourth</u>: first use your words if you get in an uncomfortable situation. This was NOT self defense. There was plenty of room and time for preclusion. This was an assault<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<u>Fifth</u>: don't be an asshole, it's worth repeating<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
We have all been in both these situations. We are in a hurry, and it seems to take forever. Crowding someone because you feel entitled does nothing but irritate people. There is nothing that young man could do to speed up the process.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
We have all been in a situation where we were crowded, shown a lack of respect, or any other perceived wrong. USE YOUR WORDS!!!! One could also resort to chemical warfare (insert disgusting smell), or fake coughing (spreading the plague) if one does not feel comfortable confronting a rude person, for whatever reason (respecting your elders being one).<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Pretty much everyone has fantasied about punching someone rude or mean. If you can't control yourself, you can't control others!!! You can't physically hurt someone in response to havng your feelings hurt.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
He may have actually killed that woman. She is old, much more fragile and susceptible to injuries. Was it worth for him to spend the rest of his days in jail? Not counting having to emotionally live with it? Unless he is a die hard narcissist, or psychopath, in which case he does not care (re-read the second point)<br /><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">You have a set of firm boundaries
established (see previous post on the subject). Someone just crossed them. Now
what do you do? It depends on the
severity of the infraction. The punishment has to fit the crime. If someone
made an </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">inappropriate</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> comment, you most likely should not hit him on the head
repeatedly with a baseball bat. But if someone is trying to kill you, the later
might be a proper alternative. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">But once
again, I seem to repeat myself a lot on this subject, you need to decide NOW
what the range of reactions vs. infractions should be. If you don’t decide now and wait till you are
put on the spot to make a choice you might just freeze or make a totally
inappropriate decisions. Depending on the severity of the circumstance, it just
may cost you your life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">When you come to a stop
sign, you don’t need to take time to decide what to do. You know you are
supposed to stop. When it starts to
rain, you turn on your windshield wipers. Why? Because you already have
pre-decided that this is the proper course of action. You don’t have to think
“hmmm, let’s see its raining, maybe I should turn on the radio first, to see if
it’s going to stop soon.” Or “Let’s see, the light just turned red, I know
there is a semi coming across right now but I am not sure if I should stop, I
stopped last time. What will people think if I stop again.”. No, you don’t have
to decide again because you have already decided what you are going to do. Same should go for your personal safety. You should know what course of actions you
will take. Of course every situation is different and will require some
modifications. But you should have a general plan of action to get you started
without having to stop and think, otherwise you are wasting time and sending
the wrong message.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">If you do you will not
only know what it takes to make you “boil” but what it takes to cool you down. When
you know yourself this well, it will make it that much easier to control
yourself. A controlled person will be able to recognize that another has
reached their boiling point. You cannot attempt to calm someone without
yourself being in full control. And helping someone to get back in control is
the safest way to stay out of a physical conflict. In a physical conflict you
rarely have a winner. And you don’t want to take the chance to find out if this
is true or not. If you need to prove yourself something, join a gym or a dojo.
That’s a safe place to “die”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: 16.0pt;"><br /></span></u></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The brain actually does
not differentiate between the feeling of anxiety and excitement. We choose to
give it a name. And the name we give it will trigger a physical response.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Let’s say for example you
have always been anxious about a certain ride in an amusement park. I want you
to close your eyes and feel that feeling right now. What are you experiencing?
Sweaty palms? Increased heart rate? Shakiness? Feeling of impending doom? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Now I want you to think
again about the same ride but instead I want you to tell yourself that you are
now excited about it, this is the best ride you have ever been on. In fact you
fell in love with your significant other on that very ride. And last year you
were the 1,000,000 customer and won $1,000,000.00 for riding it. I want you to
focus on how much fun it will be, on all the good memories attached with that ride.
Now what are you feeling? I bet you are not feeling anxious anymore. In fact
you are feeling pretty darn good aren’t you?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Has the ride changed?
No. What has changed? Your perspective. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">You can apply this
technique to just about anything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">You only have to be
careful of one thing while performing this awesome technique. You cannot
replace the feeling of true fear. Fear is different than anxiety and worry.
Fear has a purpose. It is like the alarm on your house. It tells you that
something is not right and that you should pay attention and not stay on the
same course of action that created the fear. Fear is a tool. Fear is nature’s
strongest survival signal. Never ignore it<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Worry and anxiety are both
choices. Those you can choose to replace. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">So choose a little
excitement in your life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

If you want to make sure you are not dealing with a two way mirror (which can be very creepy) instead press your eyes up against the mirror and cupping your hands around them (to block out the light from the room you're in): if you're truly dealing with a transparent mirror, you should be able to see at least a little something of the open area behind it. Also, rapping on the mirror should provide an aural clue: ordinary mirrors have backings an</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">d are usually placed against walls, so rapping on them will generally produce dull thuds; transparent mirrors are set into walls with open areas behind them, so rapping on them should produce much more open, hollow sounds. These methods of detection are more reliable than the fingernail test and should be preferred to taking a chance on getting arrested for property damage after tossing a chair through a perfectly normal mirror misjudged via less accurate means.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A Leatherman multi-tool hanging off your belt is a great way to stay prepared for emergencies, but it means you look like someone with a Leatherman hanging off their belt—and that part's not so great. This <a href="http://www.animicausa.com/shop/Gifts-for-Him/Leatherdos-Mini-tools-clip/tpflypage.tpl.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #28ade6; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">innocuous hair clip</a> is a better alternative.

It can serve as a flat-head screwdriver, even for fixing those tiny screws on your glasses. It's got a 5/16 wrench for tackling the occasional bolt, and there's a serrated edge for hacking through rope, but hopefully not hacking through your hair when worn. It could very well be the smallest multi-tool you can buy for just $10, trumped only by the Q-Tip when it comes to cost versus functionality.</div>

Never forget to talk to your kids about safety. Do not get them paranoid but make understand what "normal behavior" looks like. Getting in a car with a total stranger is not "normal" or a good thing. A stranger offering you a free puppy or candy is NOT normal. If you need to send someone to pick up your kids make sure they know them or call the school to let them know what is going on. This is YOUR responsibility</div>

Teach them to not be afraid to run away or scream for help if<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"> something is not "right". If someone grabs them, they need to give themselves permission to kick, punch, bite, scream and do what needs to be done to get away.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
As much as we want our kids to learn to obey and behave, do not do so at the risk of crippling their instinct. They do NOT have to obey ALL grown ups. If something is not right, teach them to trust their instinct and run!!!!</div>

Check the door lock before you sit in and claim the cab for yours. I am not saying that this particular driver will kidnap you or is a "bad guy" (not saying he isn't either), but with a defective door lock getting in a car accident could prove to be a very bad thing. And there is another reason I always travel with knives, one that has a glass breaker.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Food for thought</span><br />

It’s peaceful. By the nature of the trail, it is an interval training, which I love so much. The convoluted paths, the rocks, the holes, the stumps, the fallen branches, the mud, the water puddles, the sand….. always unexpected, always different.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

But I love a challenge!!! </span></div>

This is now my biggest challenge. I normally direct my gaze left, front, right, down…. and I keep rotating so I have a good view of everything going around. This has now become difficult to perform. I need my eyes on the trail to avoid stumbling.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

How about you use what you preach. When you are in a public area, amongst a crowd, what do you do. Do you just stare everywhere? No… you pay attention to disturbances, to things that “do not belong there”. So how about you do the same thing in the woods brainiac!!!</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Perfect!! So what belongs in the woods? Trees, small and big, rocks, dirt, fallen branches, squirrels, birds, undergrowth. Got it. You first have to understand what “good” is before you are able to see “bad”. Now I have a clear mental image of what belongs there. It is programmed in my brain I can now focus on the trail and keep my peripheral vision on things that might stick out. The first few times I did this, I found nothing out of the ordinary, nothing that stuck out. Last weekend, as I was running along the trail my spidey sense went off. Something was wrong. I did not know right away what it was. My eyes got pulled toward the right. Something did not belong in the picture. Turned out that it was a man standing about 15-20 feet away in the thicket, blending in quite well may I add. That’s not normal. I looked at him pointing a finger in his direction, acknowledging the fact that I had seen him. No aggressive behavior on my part as I did not really know what he was doing or why he was there. (Reflecting on it after the fact, if I was a betting woman, I’d say he was probably looking for a place to void his bladder). But I kept him in check, looking for an abnormal or aggressive behavior on his part. I knew he was deep enough in the thicket that I would have had time to get away if I needed to or at least time to get prepared. But nothing happened, so my guess was probably right on. Either that or he chose to wait for an easier, more unaware prey.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

By programming my brain to the things that were supposed to be there, my subconscious was able to pick up anomalies without having to turn me into a paranoiac. This makes a run fun and safe.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">First we see the woman “froze” and obeyed her command like the good girl she was raised to be. But thanks goodness her freeze broke when her attacker moved. She realized that she had to do something, anything, or she would die. Elbow in the face is totally legit. When this created a few milli-seconds of “freedom” she used them wisely by running away... TOWARD SAFETY. She did not worry about picking up her possession. They are not worth dying for. She ran to a neighbor and called the police. Her entire reaction most likely saved her life. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Having had a quick response when she first was grabbed from behind would have been ideal. This is when good conditioning comes in handy. But a freeze is a normal reaction. You just need to make sure you break away from the said freeze as quickly as possible. Again, good conditioning will help you recognize the freeze and break away from it. Then do NOT stay and duke it out with your attacker if there is any way possible for you to run toward safety. This is not the time and place to teach him a lesson. Any time you get attacked, your life may be on the line. When weapons are introduced, the stakes have just risen to lethal force.</span></div>

Her life was on the line, she needed to use deadly force against her attacker. You don't need to be strong to crush a man's throat. It requires roughly the same amount of strength than to crush a soda can. But you do need to be able to make that decision and carry it through. Your life is worth it. Make sure you are justify to do so and that you can explain why you did it. He came into her home, he was bigger and stronger than her, and he had every intent to kill her. He had intent, means, opportunity and there was no preclusion. Case closed.</span><br />

If you don't have a dog like she does, use common sense: pay attention, do not let anyone get uncomfortably close to you, if something looks strange.... get out of there!</span><br />
