Change this ONE thing today!

I was thinking today about how to approach the subject of simple self defense that can be easy to apply without giving it too much thought, yet still be effective....
something that one could use today....
and then two college age girls walked by my desk while typing this. I just got a brainstorm, so here goes:

I would wear my keys on a lanyard around my neck while at USF-everyone did, guys and gals, and we would often flip them over around our necks so that the keys would hang down our backs. No big deal, right?

No big deal, except for someone looking to pull a prank or be a tool, they'd invariably yank the key lanyard as we were walking back to the dorm after chow or in a hallway or whatever.

For most people, it's harmless and quite funny when someone would trip, but...

for the predator, it's a GIMME.

I must confess, I find much of today's college fashion ugly as hell. It seems that today's average college age male either looks like a wannabe tryout for the Wu Tang Clan with all the baggy junk on or looks like a he got cut early from MTV's "Ultimate Douchebag" show, complete with highlighted spiky hair, man-tan, and of course, the complete fall line of Affliction and TapouT shirts so tight they could double as a compression suit for deep sea exploration. Ladies, you ain't much better! Girls dressing like guys, with their shorts poking out of the back of their already too low sweat pants with some kitchy crap like "Princess" or "Love Me" written across the butt. Whatever...I digress.

Back to the task at hand-if there's one thing to stop doing that the guys do, it's wearing keys around your neck on a lanyard, and ESPECIALLY backwards. Even if you have good awareness, it won't matter a lick.
That puts you entirely at the attacker's mercy and given enough torque on the windpipe can silence you before you even get a scream out.

Remember, think like a Predator, and you will see opportunities everywhere. Then ask yourself how many opportunities you see in others that you, too, are doing. Change them ASAP.

If you haven't done so, pick up a copy of the White Collar Warrior Self Protection Skills Home Study Course-it contains priceless info on siple, effective and efficient self defense skills you can learn and use TODAY!

For only 7 bones, it should be a no-brainer.

Keep your eyes, ears and mind open!
