Trust your Instincts! We all have had that "gut feeling" that we knew something was wrong but not sure why. The ability to trust that gut feeling and actually act on it is very powerful. If something appears to be wrong it usually is, so take evasive action or prepare yourself.

Have a Plan! - Give some thought as to what you would do in a given situation, consider the actions that you would take to successfully get away to safety. Having such a plan can help you to be pre-emptive, having an idea about what you should do can help you to avoid panic.

Know your Limits! - Have an idea about howfar you would actually go to protect yourself or your frends and family. Most women would go to any extreme to protect their children. That's the sort of emotional strength that you have to dig up and use to protect yourself.

It's Not about Fighting, it's about SURVIVAL.
