"Emotional & Physical Self-Defense - How to Protect Yourself"
Develop and practice your physical and emotional Self-Defense Skills so you are comfortable using them when confronted or feeling vulnerable. Remember, you are in charge...if it doesn't feel quite right, it isn't!
Emotional Philosophy:
- Listen to your intuition - Keep yourself safe by listening to your inner, knowing voice
- Let go of your ego - Fear of looking bad or not being liked
- Honor yourself and your self-esteem - Saying 'yes' when meaning 'no' because you want to be validated
- How do you know when someone is who they say they are?
- How do you know the person you are with is safe?
- How can you tell if someone will harm you?
- Are you emotionally prepared to defend yourself?
- Have you developed your intuition so that it can help navigate you away from danger before it happens?
TLC (Trust Yourself - Love Yourself - Control Yourself)
- Trust yourself - The body never lies. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't
- Love yourself - Listen to your intuition
- Control Yourself - Caution - SLOW DOWN & watch to see what people say and do and make sure they match!
- Your life is of essential value
- No one has the right to violate you or your essential space
- You have every right to do everything in your power to protect yourself
- Most people don't know what to do, and become paralyzed by social conditioning
ICE (In Case of Emergency)
- IN YOUR BODY - Your power resides in your body
- CONDUCT YOUR POWER - Invoke something beyond your fear
- EXPAND - Execute the self-defense action that is required in that moment
