Just as laughing or yawning is infectious, so is our attitude. And that is a good thing, because we can learn to control our attitude and direct it to work positively for us.
Attitude is infectious.
Just think about that for a moment. Think about the people who you enjoy spending time with. Why do you enjoy spending time with them? More than likely, it's because they are positive, or make you feel good - and it all stems directly from their attitude.
You don't like hanging around with people who are always negative, do you? No, you don't. And neither do women.
They want to be around people who make them feel good - people who energize them with their infectious positive attitude, not people who are bitter and constantly complaining.
When I say that attitude is infectious, I mean that the people around you automatically pick it up, without even thinking.
Just think back to a time when someone you know came silently into the room, looking extremely depressed. Even if you were all laughing a moment before, all of a sudden a damper has been put on the room ? automatically - just because of this one person's attitude.
Your body and attitude influence one another, often mirroring each other.
If you have an angry attitude, then your body will display angry actions. If you have a happy attitude, then your body will display happy actions.
You can change your attitude on command, but it takes practice.
Get out a mirror, and look into it. Seriously. Go do it.
Practice acting happy, confident, calm and brave, using as much body language as you can.
Look into the mirror and start saying great in as many different ways as you can. Say it funnily, crazily, honestly, happily and so on.
Then, when you need to change your attitude, remember your practice sessions in the mirror and start saying to yourself "great, great, great" (silently if you have to), until you start feeling happy.
Sounds crazy, but it works.
Women self defense #1 - Find an instructor that uses a full body padded suit to help train you to use maximum violence and aggression so you can learn and sculpt the way you will react to a real life or death attack.
Self defense #2 - Classes like Tae Bo and cardio kickboxing should be completely out of the question when looking into reality based training for women. You want an element of reality and actual combat techniques that can save you or your children from a violent attacker.
Women self defense #3 - Martial arts styles I recommend for women include: karate, jeetkunedo, mixed martial arts, boxing, and any type of self defense training you can get. Those are my recommended systems of combat and if you can find better alternatives like military combatives by all means do it! If you can enroll in a seminar by an expert on women self defense thats even better too.
Self defense #4 - If you are a woman unfortunately you are at a disadvantage in strength to most men. Many men are also easily over powered. This is why you need to train with cardio and weight lifting three times a week or more. You want to be physically healthy so you can survive and put up a good counter attack.
Women self defense #5 - Use any and all dirty fighting moves you can. Scratching and eye gouging your opponent, chopping him in his adam's apple, smashing his groin, head butting his face, screaming for help. When it comes to a violent encounter don't be a victim always fight back no matter what.
With that being said investing in your self defense knowledge is essential.
