Mental Scripting, Survival & Peak Performance





Continuing on from last weeks blog...

I was sharing some solid advice from Joe, a retired Navy SEAL regarding the Protector Mindset.

Our conversation was during the recent Active Response Training Seminar down at the Krav Academy this past month.

I broke our conversation down into three (3) posts.

The first dealt with Mental Rehearsal, which we discussed about three emails ago.

Well, the next concept, Mental Scripting is similar to that,  but with a couple  IMPORTANT NUANCES.

Check it out...

Mental Scripting: Is when you mentally walk through a scenario in your head, reviewing what could possibly happen in a situation.

For instance, lets take an active shooter event.

You go to the movies, sit down and mental script out a scenario where you imagine someone coming in with a gun and starts shooting...

In your head, map out what you'll will do, where will you'll go, what happens...

~ Where is the cover?
~ What exit do you run to?
~ How do you shield & protect your wife?
~ Do you use as a weapon or tool for distraction?
~ Etc.


Don't Miss This Important Detail!


THE SEED OF VICTORY...


In this Script, you always come out winning!

ALWAYS!!

Plant the seed of victory, while at the same time add in an injury that you have to overcome. Maybe you get shot in the leg and have to apply a tourniquet or your wife does, maybe someone or you attack the guy, how fast do you respond to help out or gain control of the weapon, etc.

Play it out in your head, run into adversity and set backs. Yes, you experience pain, but in this script, you work through it and still come out on top!


Simple, But Important...

This simple, yet important tactic can make the difference between surviving or not!

Remember, you are an AmeriCAN... Not an AmeriCAN'T!! =) =)  hahaha!


Anxiety Conversion?!?

It's the last of the three concepts Joe shared in that talk...

AND it's pretty important if you want to perform better and survive under stress during a situation where it matters.

BUT...

You'll have to catch the next post to hear about that one! =)


Protector Summit Again?!


In a word... NO!

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people ...

What'd You Say?!

Image
  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
