Can anyone recommend ways to practice situational awareness? Any good reads out there? Any exercises that you do?
Situational awareness is more than watching for approaching threats of physical violence; it should include doing things to preserve your life by other means as well. Overweight? Smoke? Get speeding tickets? If so, you lack crucial aspects of situational awareness. You can practice all the time.
I hate to sound like a smart yada yada slug, but this is truly common sense. Every reply always comes back to that one truth.Can anyone recommend ways to practice situational awareness? Any good reads out there? Any exercises that you do?
Glad to see that common sense is still alive and well. I am not saying that the replies to date are incorrect or offer bad advice, but, in summary---who, what, where when, how---they all have answers for SA effectiveness--just think about them, apply them when you are out and about and even when in your house. Simple common sense.Common sense will get you a lot farther than most things--just watch where you are, what others are doing, and THINK what would I do if this or that happens. A failure to plan is a plan to fail---and to fail may mean your life/limb. There is a saying floating around: Be curteous but have a plan to kill everyone around you. I do not practice that-not to that degree. Getting older and like a stress less enviorment as much as possible. At night when I get out of a vehicle at home my carry is in my hand. Someone mentioned carrying groceries-by bud's wife had to drop her bags to draw--it saved her because she was ready.
