“NO!” has the ability to diffuse and the power to de-escalate more situations than you may realize.

“No” is a complete sentence. No explanation needed.

Your unwillingness to offend should never be greater than your willingness to defend.

Fear is a warning sign, not a beast of burden.

If you don't see anyone when you look through the hole - or if the view is blocked

for any reason - don't open the door.

Self Defense Tools Are Good

But A Self Defense Mindset Is Better

…Your Mindset Won’t Be Buried In The Bottom Of Your Purse When You Need It Most

If You Carry Pepper Spray…

Use your thumb not your finger for better control and accuracy

What’s Your Starbucks Name?Coffee houses use your name to keep dr ink orders straight, but then they call out your name for the world to hear and send you out the door w i t h y o u r n a m e emblazoned on the side of their cup. Embrace y o u r i n n e r “ C a r r i e Mathison" and try using a “cover name.”

When It Comes To Staying Safe; Your Ability To Push, Jump, And Run May Make All The Difference.

Are You Safety Fit?

Screen Caps And Camera Phones Can Make A Difference

Take screen caps of maps, directions and important information you may need when traveling in case wifi or cell tower reception isn’t available. Pictures can help with daily reminders like which gym locker was used.

Stay Especially Alert In Parking Lots. 80% Of Reported Crimes At Retail and

Shopping Malls Take Place In The Parking Lot

Try to park as close to the entrance as possible or in areas that are well-lit and have the most pedestrian traffic.

“Check-In” After You Check-Out

You don't want to make it any easier for

predators to digitally stalk you or know

Social Media Safety

Be mindful of how much you share. Online predators are known to troll multiple sites stalking potential

victims under the guise of a proper gentleman.

An Alarm For All Occasions

Pre-set a 2 minute timer with a ringtone on your phone. You’ll be surprised how often you’ll use this trick. It’s a great way to excuse yourself with an “I’ve got to take this” faux phone call.

The Google Voice Advantage

Google voice numbers are free and will forward calls and texts to any phone you want. They are great for giving out to people you just met but don’t know.

Hotel Room Safety

At check-in, ask the receptionist to not say your room number out loud. When entering your room, check to make sure no one is lingering in the hallway before entering.

Remember:

Effective self-defense begins long before a physical altercation. Awareness of your surroundings, awareness of your environment, and awareness of what looks ‘out of place,’ prepares you physically and mentally for what may come next.
