FOCUS Your Life!
In the world of self-defense we talk about FOCUS, and especially the different kinds of FOCUS. In Life Defense those different FOCUSES powerfully effect our lives!
The sniper is stationed rooftop eyes looking for hours on a small pinpointed spot between two tall buildings. This will be where his people will be most vulnerable, and his job is to protect them. NARROW FOCUS.
The tourist enters the crowded plaza just at dusk. She has lost her tour group somehow, and scans the crowd of strange faces till all at once she sees a familiar face, and smiling gestures from a group at the far end of the square. WIDE FOCUS.
Something just doesn’t seem right. The concert has been over for an hour and people are mostly out of the venue. The two tweens see a group of men standing at one of the exits. Something doesn’t seem right and they turn around and head to a busier exit away from the men’s gaze. EMOTIONAL FOCUS or “weirdo meter.”
These FOCUSES save our lives, the lives of others, and are recognized as viable self-defense techniques. However, SAVING LIFE is not theoretical. It’s measurable and tangible as the hand in front of your face. Life Defense training is the skill set to do just that.
In life, how often do we ignore that conflict exists? After all it’s how everything is accomplished. NARROW, WIDE and EMOTIONAL FOCUS can actually be used all the time, and just like most conflict based PRINCIPLES is available to us in every part of our life with training.
Although we may claim to use these naturally. What really occurs most to the time, in the beautiful chaos of life, is emergency centric, corrections, and triage.
The more we are present to the conflict around us the higher level of performance is available in our lives. What is your FOCUS today? FOCUS.
