How to handle the Scorpions that we meet in life.  There is a pre-requisite, listen to Episode 64.  Now that we’ve encountered these types of people or situations, there’s a way we can defeat them or at least diffuse them.  In this episode I will discuss the 5 areas that people lose their footing when dealing with the Scorpions or the tough situations in life.  Some of this is inspired by the excellent folks at No Nonsense Self Defense and it applies to our every day life.

Highlights:

  • Recognition – knowing when something is going wrong.
  • Determining if it’s palatable – is this really something I can handle?
  • Available time – how much time do you have?
  • Appropriate response – severity of problem vs. severity of response
  • Adrenaline – how to deal with it when you’re in this state of mind.
