Our Attitude

Our Attitude

Self defence begins in the mind because the mind controls the body. Neuro-association is the process of associating a thought with a physical action. For example, if I say the word 'run' to a jogger he will make the association with a run down the road. The same word (run) will be associated by many women with ruined pantyhose. 

We can use this neuro-association as a safer living skill to train ourselves for successful outcomes in a confrontation. When we find ourselves facing a potentially dangerous situation, what images come to mind? Do we see ourselves successfully avoiding the confrontation; successfully negotiating our way out of harms way; successfully defending ourselves physically, or do we see ourselves being assaulted, suffering pain, etc?

Become pro-active rather than re-active. By visualising various situations in the comfort of your home, and perhaps practising some responses with friends, you can build a toolbox of neuro-associated safe responses to many situation before those situations occur and surprise you. Thus you will be pro-active (take the initiative) rather than re-active (being controlled by other persons).

Pre-thought, pre-planned, prepared
