If you really want to develop the ability to survive a brutal attack, one of the first things you realize is that women’s self-defense requires the proper mindset as well. And, the kind of mindset that I focus on in this article involves knowing that there are real threats, knowing what they are and the fact that you are at risk, and believing in yourself and your ability to be a survivor should they. the worst happens. happen to you! If you’re ready to hear what most women don’t want to hear … read on!
When it comes to the topic of women’s self-defense, of knowing how to protect yourself against brutal attackers in the real world, this mindset of belief and knowledge is the first set of building blocks, along with the attitude of the survivor that I spoke about in another article. article, which form the basis of women’s effective self-defense.
First of all, you need to know and understand that there are real threats to you, as a woman, that men generally don’t have to deal with. You must know this because it is absolutely true.
That doesn’t mean these things can’t threaten men, but women are generally more susceptible to them.
Also, that doesn’t mean you should go through life looking over your shoulder in constant fear. In fact, the exact opposite is the case. After all …
How could you live a good, stress-free and happy life if you are always living in fear?
No. What I mean is that there are dangers that women, of which you should be aware, because they are part of your world and, therefore, part of the essence of women’s self-defense. This is what I mean when I teach about the “Mindset of Consciousness.”
Well, now you know that you need to be aware of all the things that you have come to believe in your life to be dangerous.
It seems obvious, right?
However, the question is, are they the right things that you “should” be aware of?
Confused?
Do not be. In fact, this is what I mean.
From a women’s real and authentic self defense perspective, you might believe that the most dangerous person or things to be aware of are strangers hiding in the bushes. And, if you had this belief, then you could be completely wrong (pun intended).
The truth is, the biggest concerns that you, as a woman, have to be prepared for are …
… attacks from people close to you!
From a police officer’s perspective, I must say that 99% of the calls I’ve ever responded to where women were in physical danger or had been in a sexual assault situation …
… were the result of the actions of someone close to them. 99 percent!
Again, this does not mean that you should be afraid of everyone close to you. The women’s self-defense point of view is simply that you need to know who or what you think is the danger …
… really “is” the danger.
Once you have developed the proper beliefs, you must believe in your heart, mind, body, and soul that you can overcome any situation no matter where you are or what the circumstances are. To have this kind of belief in yourself, you have to train a little bit constantly.
That doesn’t just mean physical training. Because when I say you must train a “little” – that refers to the physical part – the real, practical and self-defense training that will provide you with the weapons, lessons, techniques and skills to defend yourself from a bigger, stronger and stronger assailant. decided …
… and when I said, “constantly”, I’m making the point that you should always be aware of your surroundings as you go about everyday life. As you develop these skills, and the more they become what we might call “second nature,” you simultaneously develop faith in yourself.
And that is the key to developing “faith in yourself” within the realm of women’s self-defense.
Three critical aspects of the survivor’s mindset:
First, you must know and believe that there are threats to you in the world.
Second, you have to correctly believe what those threats are about. AND …
ThirdYou must have a deeply ingrained belief in yourself and your ability to act.
These three things are the three elements to having the proper women’s self defense mindset. Just remember … mindset is not something you are born with. It is a learned behavior. And, when it comes to having the survivor mentality of a woman who will do everything in her power to defend herself …
…you You can and SHOULD learn it!
