Women’s Safety Secrets – The Secret to Personal Safety For Women

Oct 12
Safety


Fellow women, listen up!

We know that everyone needs safety right? Women are often the ones who promote safety at work, at home and with friends. Teens and kids don’t always know they need safety measures and men feel safer than we usually do because of their gender. The truth is, attackers and victims are both male and female.

We can all be approximately 95% safer from creeps and criminals just by learning these Top 5 Women’s Personal Safety Secrets. How? Prevention is 90% awareness. So if you know the five secrets, you can’t help but be at least 5% safer!

The 3 main reasons you haven not heard “The Secrets” before:

The secrets are simple and we tend to make things much more complicated than they need to be – When everyone learns how simple personal safety is, there will be far fewer victims. Most people avoid the topic of personal safety due to fear of acknowledging their vulnerability to crime – Burying our heads in the sand and hoping the subject of crime disappears makes us more likely targets of attackers. The focus of most safety information is negative, random safety tips and ineffective self-defense techniques – Safety must be taught in the positive what to do manner!
Top 5 Women’s Personal Safety Secrets (to share with loved ones)

Understand the “attacker” mindset – The key to knowing where someone is going is to know where they are coming from. Confident body language – Speaking this language can save your life. Your voice is your #1 weapon – Knowing the power in your own voice and how to use it effectively is vital to preventing yourself from becoming a victim. Establish and enforce personal boundaries – Knowing what is acceptable and unacceptable to you before something happens allows you to protect your personal space. Trust your gut feelings above all else – The job of these survival instincts is to keep you alive.

As you can see, each of these five personal safety secrets is very important and may, individually, repel attackers. However, putting them all together and practicing them into habits can provide you with a tremendous amount of safety, peace of mind and empowerment in your daily life.

Women’s Personal Safety – How to Avoid the Toxic Friend For Safety’s Sake – A Safety Tip For Women

Nov 8
Safety


We’ve all had toxic friends and chances are we still have one or two hanging around so tips to survive the attack of the toxic friend are vital to your self-esteem. And your self-esteem is vital to your personal safety, which includes your mental, emotional and physical well-being.

Definition of a Toxic Friend:

The friend part is someone to do things with. The toxic part comes into play when your “friend” dumps her emotional garbage on you or belittles you.

Women’s Safety Tips – Holiday Safety Secrets

Oct 27
Safety


Whether we are traveling to visit family members, purchasing gifts we can’t afford, attending parties out of obligation or wishing we had loved ones to enjoy the holidays with; holidays represent an emotionally charged time of year for everyone. We know that the traditional view of family members enjoying one another isn’t always the way it happens. In fact, the majority of family get togethers are emotional and stressful so realize, if yours is like that, you’re not alone.

Since attacks may be verbal, mental, emotional or physical, we all need some Holiday Safety Secrets to make this time of year safer all around, don’t you agree?

Holiday Safety Secret – Verbal

Realize that a comment made to you or about you is always about the person making it, not about you. It is either a positive comment coming from a place of admiration or a negative comment coming from a place of insecurity.

Knowing this helps you to take a deep breath and either say, “Thank you,” to a nice comment or say nothing to a ban one, considering the source.

Holiday Safety Secret – Mental

People who know us also know “which buttons to push” if they want to mentally attack. For example: a coworker looking up and down you and then snickering will likely send any one of us into the ladies room to check our makeup, hair and outfit. Realize (you’ll see a trend here) a mental attack is all about the attacker who is trying to control the “victim” by inspiring uncertainty because he or she feels out of control of their own life at the moment of attack.

Holiday Safety Secret – Emotional

Make a list of who you feel good around and who you feel drained by. Invest time only with those you feel good around; that is your gut feeling telling you who is safe and who isn’t (emotionally, mentally and or physically). If you must work with people you would not ordinarily choose to spend time with, realize that you have a choice to either absorb their negative energy or “put up your mirrors.” Putting up mirrors consists of visualizing yourself with mirrors around you facing out. When someone sends negative energy your way, the mirrors reflect it back to them 10 fold and you are safe emotionally. I learned this from an Indian Medicine Man 25 years ago and have used it successfully ever since.

Holiday Safety Secrets – Physical (much more info about each of these available)

Remember that thieves and other types of attackers love the holidays because we are all distracted and make for easy targets. Stay OFF your phone when walking in a parking lot and have it in or on your clothing instead of in your purse. If a thief wants your purse give it up quickly and count your blessing that all you had was a thief. Use confident body language (head high, shoulders back, looking side to side) to repel attackers. Carry a very small pouch inside your clothes with ID, cash or one credit card. Cover the key pad when entering your PIN at checkout. Check in and under your vehicle before entering and lock the door before it is even closed. Remember that the cover of darkness allows many more attacks this time of year.
Wrap Up Holidays can be fun and happy when you protect your personal space and emotions. Remember that safety often has to do with swallowing your pride. Let the snide comment go without a fight and let your purse go to avoid escalating an attack. It will never be fair that other take from us but we can attract safety instead of attackers with these simple tips.

Women’s Safety Tip – How to Recover From Rape – Important Safety Tip For Women

Oct 13
Safety


There are as many opinions on how to recover from rape as there are books, services, articles and blog posts on the subject. I choose to share mine with you because I’ve seen and read much from jaded, negative, cynical “victims” who are still living as victims. Your following their advice can only lead you to live as a victim yourself. I am one of the few rape survivors, I’m aware of, with a positive attitude about men, dating, safety and life in general, so let’s get you on the same path!

1. Realize rape is not personal

Every attack, from name calling to rape and murder, is all about the attacker and the power-fix he or she seeks. Although you can put yourself in a dangerous situation, the blame always lies with the attacker.

2. Release it from your subconscious

Talking will prolong your agony and lead you in circles. Hypnosis, EFT, and other energy techniques that reach the subconscious mind (where the situation is filed) will help if you truly want recovery.

3. Check your self-esteem

After I achieved healthy self-esteem, I realized having it earlier would have prevented the rape situation in my life and many other less positive experiences.

4. Establish and enforce personal boundaries

Determine, ahead of time, what is acceptable and unacceptable to you to prevent yourself from entering dangerous situations. Doing this will boost your confidence, which results in healthier self-esteem.

5. Choose to live as a survivor

My definition of victim: “Someone who is currently being attacked.” The rape is over; you cannot be a victim of it any longer. You can, however, choose to live as a victim of your own negative attitude like many of the aforementioned “authorities” on surviving rape.

6. Chin up, live life

Allowing a creep from the past to control your present and future is giving all of your power away. Women are the strongest creatures on the Earth; join the party!

So rape is something that occurred in your life as it did in mine. We move forward strengthened from what we’ve been through, not weakened because of it. In seeking information on how to recover from rape, make sure you want the life of the person you’re taking advice from. I live positive, happy, grateful and abundant every day.

Women’s Safety Tips – 3 Common Mistakes Women Make About Personal Safety

Oct 12
Women's Safety Products


Women are often targeted by attackers because we make a few common mistakes about personal safety that present us as easy crime victim prospects.

We tend to be accommodating, to a fault We ignore our gut feelings Automatic trust is common with women

A few things to remember as we get into more detail about the common mistakes we make that put us in danger.

Attackers are insecure, have low self-esteem, feel out of control of their own lives and choose to control someone or something else in order to feel powerful again. Attackers look for those who appear weaker than they are (mentally, physically) to attack. Attacks may be verbal, mental, emotional or physical.
Too Accommodating

Women tend to be accommodating because we want people to like us and we enjoy being helpful. Although these traits are not bad they may allow us to be taken advantage of and pushed too far. This is where an attacker, known or unknown to you sees weakness and opportunity.

Solution: Establish and enforce personal boundaries. Know what distance you are willing to go and go no further. This will keep you from giving your power away to someone else.

Ignoring Gut Feelings

As women, we are generally much more in tune with our intuition or gut feelings than men are. However, we also tend to overlook, ignore and justify actions that are not in line with our gut feelings in order to be liked and to be nice.

Solution: Realize gut feelings are survival instincts you were born with. They will always lead you the right way. Follow them.

Automatic Trust

Because women have been raised to be nice and do good things for others, we often trust untrustworthy people automatically. We can all think back to a time we trusted someone and should not have.

Solution: Trust you gut feeling (intuition) without questioning or trying to justify it. It doesn’t have to be logical to be right. You will “feel” if someone is trustworthy or not. A good personal boundary to establish and enforce is, “If it feels wrong, avoid it.”

Although women may be targeted by attackers, these safety tips will help all of us avoid the personal safety mistakes that portray us as good victim prospects.

Women’s Self Defense and Pressure Points

Sep 12
Safety


If you decide to take a women’s self defense course you will be given a variety of tools in which you can defend yourself from a would be attacker or assailant. You will be taught non-violent methods such as using a whistle or sound blaster. You will be taught avoidance techniques such as avoiding places where you might be attacked or avoiding situations in which you will be tricked into going to a place where an attack might take place. In addition the women’s self defense class will teach basic hand to hand fighting that will injure your assailant long enough for you to get away. If the attack becomes really personal you will be taught how to use pressure points to either loosen the attackers grip or to cause enough pain so that the attacker lets go.

Pressure points as defined by women’s self defense experts are points that have a prevalence of nerves in it. When pressure is applied to these points, pain is felt and the natural reaction to move away from pain gives the victim an advantage. The reflex is called a pain withdrawal reflex and it will move in the exact opposite direction that the pressure is being applied.

Women’s self defense instructors will teach that when you jab a person in the stomach slightly below the chest bone, the attacker will back away quickly or try to turn his or her body away to get away from the pain. When you apply pressure next to the collar bone it will cause the attacker to move downward away from the pain. This will allow you to bring your elbow down into the person’s collar bone or two bring your knee up into his face.

Another pressure point is the recession just above your elbow. By grabbing the back of the arm, push your thumb into the small depression and press down. The pain withdrawal reflex for this point causes the arm to straighten. You can easily put the attacker into an arm lock or pull the elbow down as you bring up your knee. This can be doubled up with a brain shake. Using two fingers bent like a fist, hit your attacker in the at an angle into the occipital nerve right at the temple. This causes the brain to be shaken in the skull. If you do it right enough pain will cause the attacker to stop his assault or will cause him or her to black out.

Once you use the pressure point, try to hyper extend the joint that is now trying to get away from your pressure. You want to extend the joint away from the natural direction it will bend. Using all of your force, this will cause extreme pain or dislocation. If possible and you can do it with safety, kick your opponent in the *********. This is extreme pain for a man and can take him out of commission for several minutes. If you miss the first time kick him again and then run.

Remember that women’s self defense wants you to remember that you are not trying to win a fight but to disable or distract you opponent long enough to get away.

3 Powerfully Effective Self-Defense Tricks That Are For Women Only

Sep 11
Safety


While some experts would debate whether or not self-defense training is or should be different for women, one only has to look at the facts to see the truth. These facts come in the form of crime statistics and reports that detail, not only the fact that a woman was the target of the attack, but also “how” and “why” she was attacked.

In addition to the fact that women will inevitably have to deal with many attacks that are less likely for men – attacks like…

1) Being slapped instead of punched

2) Being pinned and immobilized to be taken advantage of sexually, instead of being restrained for additional assailants to punch, kick, or bludgeon

Women also have at their disposal, a few techniques and tricks that just won’t work for us guys.

I mean…Can you imagine a man…

1) Lifting or opening his shirt to expose his chest?

And yet, this unexpected move on the part of a female defender might just give her the time she needs to distract her would-be assailant before following up with a more permantly disabling move.

2) Using his purse as a weapon?

What purse, right?

I talk about this powerful tactic in my courses for women all the time. However, unlike other instructors, I don’t have a woman go through her purse to inventory the contents as though each were a potential weapon. The truth here is that, if it’s not already in your hand ladies, you’re not going to be able to use it. However, I have seen what women put in their handbags and my advice them is…

…just use the purse!

3) Offering to let the assailant have his way with you?

I don’t know about most of you guys but, unless I’m in a prison environment, which are not in my short OR long-term plans…

However, using the possibility of sex as a tool, regardless of whether the attacker was looking to rape his victim or not, could be a means to get him to drop his guard, or at least to get him into a different position where his strength and size are easier to deal with.

What I teach students in my articles, books, videos, and live programs may not be terribly popular with many people, but it doesn’t change the fact that this is the way things are. And, if a woman truly wants to survive a dangerous attack, then she might want to add these suggestions to here little bag of tricks. They may require her to put her “princess-side” on the shelf momentarily, but I’m sure every women can muster just enough “she-devil” to do the trick!

Women’s Safety Tip – Real Life Story – Do You Have a Teen With Too Much Responsibility?

Aug 29
Safety


Parents of teens have the important job of helping their teen take on and grow into responsibility.

If you have a teen, you also want to be aware of the amount of responsibility your teen is given at work. Just like anyone else, a teen may be more or less capable of handling situations than someone else. The shocking real-life story below illustrates the dangerous, (possibly deadly) level of responsibility some employers give to teens.

A 17 year old Illinois girl was hospitalized this week after she was abducted and sexually assaulted while working alone at a sandwich shop at night.

Women’s Safety Tips – How to Repel Instead of Attract Attackers – Tip #1 – Make Noise

Jul 29
Safety


Most women are less than eager to get trained in self-defense but we all need some tips on simple ways to avoid becoming a victim and repel instead of attract attackers. Fortunately, sometimes the simplest things work the best.

Attackers prefer victims go quietly so no one notices what is going on and gets a description of them resulting in their arrest. Now that we know what they are looking for, we can be the opposite. Here are a couple things to note:

Nine out of ten people gasp and hold their breath when startled or scared so attackers have the advantage already Making noise startles the attacker (turnabout is fair play) and calls attention to your situation

When you gasp and hold your breath, the adrenaline that is automatically produced to deal with stress freezes you quicker and longer, and that’s when the majority of people get hurt. Adrenaline is produced to give you the fight or flight option. It helps you think clearly, run faster and strike harder under stress. In order for it to circulate and help instead of hinder you, you must be breathing. This is where making noise comes in…



Yelling is a great way to make noise and get your adrenaline circulating at the same time because you expel all the air in your lungs and automatically take another breath. Viola! Circulation, adrenaline, strength, speed, clear thought, a startled attacker and everyone looking your direction! Notice I said, “yelling” and not “screaming?” That is because screaming is weak and defensive and yelling is strong and offensive. The three best things to yell: Stop, 911, Back Off!



Other great ways to make noise:

Honking your horn Sounding your vehicle alarm Throwing or knocking over something loud (like metal)


Honking your horn is probably not what comes to mind first when you are startled unless you are startled by another driver, right? But just think about how much attention a honked horn gets…and that is the idea after all; even if it is about your personal safety and not about your car.



We know that most people **** the sound of vehicle alarms and rarely even consider that something is being broken into or stolen but again, think how many people are alerted by the sound. You can be sleeping at night with your vehicle in the garage or driveway and sound your alarm if an intruder breaks in.

You know the movies where someone is running from a bad guy through the kitchen of a restaurant, knocking over metal tables and shelves behind them? Not only does this make an instant obstacle course but it makes a heck of a lot of noise in the process. Maybe you are in a store and rake your arm down a shelf pulling products onto the floor to make noise and draw attention.

There is nothing safe or heroic about going quietly with an attacker in the hopes he or she will not hurt you. In fact, it can easily cost you your life. If someone wants to take you against your will, their intention is to hurt you.

Teach your kids this safety tip too. I can’t tell you how difficult it is to get some children to practice yelling in my Safe Kids Class! They have been programmed that yelling gets them in trouble and they need to know it can get them out of trouble as well.

Remember attackers want quiet, uninterrupted time with their victim and the longer you are with them, the more power they have. Make a lot of noise and be more trouble than you’re worth.

And ALWAYS trust your gut feelings to know what to do because sometimes submission is the best option. A good question to ask yourself is, “How is the best way to handle this situation?” Your brain will answer whatever you ask it. Make sure and ask good, empowering questions to get the same kind of answers.
