STEP ONE:
Picturing yourself at the scene forces you to respond, which in turn forces you to make risk-filled decisions based on
what’s best for your survival, not on the attacker’s threats.
STEP TWO:
Visualizing your actions toward escape provides you with your own orders to follow instead of his. Having one objective,
which you have chosen ahead of time, helps you to concentrate during a crisis.
STEP THREE:
The crucial and the most overlooked juncture is expecting to get hurt. It is crucially important because a person who is
not prepared to be injured is not fully prepared against violent crime. Without the expectation of injury, injury freeze
everyone up.
Mind-setting affords a practical means of rehearsing against life-threatening violence in an uncomplicated, quick,
privacy-of-your-mind way.
The strength of mind-setting is having straightforward decisions to fall back on when under the pressure of a life-or-
death crisis.
Mind-set against one type of crisis and the decisions will lead through other
similar crises...always.
