In the military, one thing that's drilled into your head is situational awareness. Being aware of your surroundings in a dynamic, constantly changing environment. Because the moment you relax and think you're completely safe, that's when you can become vulnerable. And you can practice this in everyday life. Granted, we're not living in a war zone. But the world is full of unpredictable people. If you're sitting in public with your face buried in a fucking screen, completely disconnected from what's happening around you, you've made yourself an easier target. And that's exactly what someone looking for an easy target is looking for. So pay attention. Look up. Know what's happening around you. Be ready to react and respond if something changes. You don't need to live in fear. You just need to stay aware. Because you're not always as safe as you think you are. #SituationalAwareness #SelfDefense #PersonalSafety #Mindset #Awareness Discipline
