S7-E157: Your Powerful Mindset - Training Determines Your Outcomes

North American Outdoors

Mindset is the habitual mental attitude that determines how you will respond to a situation. How you train is a good indication of how you should react to any situation you might encounter. Develop an individual personal protection plan to suit your particular needs, including a plan of what to do to avoid a confrontation.

Visualize scenarios you may encounter outside of your home and mentally practice how you will respond to them. Get into the "When-Then" way of thinking. This puts you in the more assertive and prepared mindset when you plan what you are going in your mind WHEN this happens_____, THEN I will react by doing _____.

It is also important to incorporate stress into your training, so you train and learn how to perform under stress.

Knowing that if we are ever under an attack or an assault, our bodies will go through a series of psychological responses, as well as ways we may react to it. There are perceptual changes we may experience that are out of our control. We can put ourselves in many situations and simulations both through visualization and on the range, but we will never know how we will react to a situation if it were to really happen.

Keeping the proper mindset at all times is one step in the right direction to prepare for any situation imaginable.
