Ep #24: Enhancing Self-Defense Skills Through Self Development

What if self-defense was more than just a physical skill? Imagine if improving your self-defense abilities also enhanced your personal and professional relationships, stress management, and overall self-development. In today's episode, we take a fresh perspective on self-defense through the lens of self-improvement. We kick off the conversation with a unique approach to enhancing situational awareness. Remembering details about people such as their names, clothing, and physical features not only boosts our interpersonal relationships but also primes our self-defense reflexes.
We then dive deeper into the adrenaline dump phenomenon and how daily physical activities like cold showers and workouts can bolster your mental and physical resilience. Tune in as we discuss the power of influence, both in de-escalation scenarios and in our everyday roles, be it as a parent, a leader, or a colleague. We also share a list of must-read books to give you an even more comprehensive understanding of these topics. Get ready to take your self-defense skills and personal growth to the next level.
