Safety Tips For Women
Emotional Stress Puts Women in Greater Physical Danger - 5 Tips to Help
 
With stress levels rising over the economy, it is important to realize the connection between emotional stress and physical danger, especially for women. We talk about the many health issues caused by stress but don't hear how much easier it is for an attacker when he or she victimizes a stressed out person. As women, we generally take  on other people's stress as well as well as our own; either concern for their situation or trying to help them remedy it.
 
5 Facts & Tips to Help Reduce Stress and Vulnerability to Physical Danger:
 
Fact #1: Fear is the most dangerous mindset of all and when you are stressed; you look scared and weak, which shows in your body language (attacker language). Women are already  seen     as "weaker" so it's most important for us to consciously look confident and strong.
 
Tip: Always convey confidence in your body language, regardless of how you "feel." That is head held high, shoulders back, arms swinging when you walk, looking side to side (seeing behind you with peripheral vision), stay OFF cell phone (distraction) and be ready and willing to run if necessary.
 
Fact #2: Violent crimes, domestic violence and gun sales increase drastically during economic downturns.
 
Tip: Although domestic violence goes both ways, a woman is more inclined to be the victim. Realize most people are stressed just like you might be. Practice patience for two reasons: 1) people are more volatile right now and 2) it will calm you and others down. People will be calmer around someone who is relaxed.
 
Fact #3: There is a beginning, middle and end to everything and there are always lessons in the mix.
 
Tip: Think about where you were "before" the economic stress. What was your life like? Note how your life has changed and what lessons you can learn from it. Maybe "cutting back" has been an eye opener for you about certain things. For example: you may be healthier taking your lunch to work and avoiding expensive coffee every day.
 
Fact 4: Stress can be greatly reduced or overcome with gratitude.
 
Tip: As women, we are hyper tuned in to our intuition and emotions. Take a deep breath while visualizing all you are grateful for: family, home, vehicle, working arms and legs, pets, warm bed...everything. This will always put you in a better mood and reduce stress and other negativity. No matter what you have and don't have, you are better off than many.
 
Fact #5: Simple things can cut stress in half for you and those around you resulting in improved self-esteem and body language.
 
Tip: Smile even when you don't feel like it. Your body chemistry changes when you smile and makes you feel better automatically. This will ease the stress of others around you as well.
 
Bonus Tip: Compliment people. Genuine, honest compliments are few and far between. Your compliment spoken to a complete stranger may make that person's day and could be the only one they've gotten in months! Something as simple as, "Cute earrings," or "That haircut looks great on you," or "Nice watch," can make someone's day and makes you feel good in the process.
 
Women impact the world every day as wives, friends, girlfriends, coworkers, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, daughters,\ etc. so just think of how learning simple ways to reduce our own emotional stress helps those around us while decreasing vulnerability to physical danger by looking stronger and more confident.
 
Women ROCK!

Why Choose a Taser
 
  An individual’ personal safety should be their primary concern. As a society we are becoming more aware of the dangers that we can face, and the methods of protection are expanding. Although any effort to protect yourself is a step in the right direction, some options are more effective than others.
 
As you start to contemplate a method of protection, it is important to remember that this is a very serious undertaking. In selecting a self defense tool the first consideration is your own level of strength. In a moment of danger, you want to ensure that the item will be effective, irrespective of the circumstances.
 
Until someone experiences actual danger they cannot gauge what their response will be. That is why, the best method of protection is the one that works consistently, in all situations. A tool that is simple to use will guarantee that you will able to defend yourself, no matter what.
 
A taser will enable you to protect yourself whether you are injured, confused, or otherwise incapacitated. It requires the minimal amount of skill and strength to operate, which means that you will be protected every time. In addition, because they are so easy and require little personal strength they are a perfect option for any age or ability.
 
Tasers are easy to use, effective, and safe. They do not require that the individual be in close proximity to their attacker which means that an assailant can be stopped at a distance. After the electrodes are in contact with the assailant, every pull of the trigger delivers a 50,000 volt charge for five seconds. The effect of one trigger pull is generally enough to keep a full grown male confined to the ground while you run to safety.
 
Unlike stun guns that require the victim to be close to the assailant to apply the tool directly to the body, tasers can be employed from several feet away. The actual distance depends on the model, but a common expanse is twenty-five feet for police tasers. The gun taser shoots small electrodes at the assailant, thereby connecting them and the gun through metal wires.
 
As a non-lethal protection tool taser will not kill or maim the assailant. They have been used by law enforcement officers as a safer alternative to brute force for many years. They are also safe for the user and for any bystanders.

Self Defense Products on College Campuses
 
With the summer season coming to a close, the time to think about the approaching school year is now. For some, it may mean that boxes will be packed up and moved in to a college dorm room. This may be an exciting and frightening thought for parents and students alike. But even more concerning for parents is the safety of the college campus that their daughter will now call home.
 
While students are interested in the academic achievements of the college, the extra curricular activities offered and the nightlife in the surrounding area, campus safety is one of the top concerns of parents when their children are ready to enter the next chapter of their education.
 
As unfortunate as it is, the night life on college campuses is often one the main reasons students (especially the female students) feel the need to carry some type of self defense product with them. The good news is that many of these safety items are inexpensive and are easy to obtain (check local & state laws on legality).
 
There are a large variety of self defense products that are small enough to carry comfortably without interfering with day to day activities. One of the most popular of these personal protection items is mace or pepper spray. These can be easily added to a key chain or carried in a pocket or purse. With no training needed, and the effect of the spray being instantaneous and disabling these easy to use products give you the chance to get to safety.
 
Another simple option are stun guns. Easy to use, battery operated and with sizes varying (some can fit in the palm of your hand) these inexpensive devices are growing in popularity. The main idea of this type of electrical device is to momentarily immobilize the attacker without causing any long term damage.
 
Tasers are becoming another extremely popular self defense product. The Taser actually shoots electrodes at an attacker from a distance. The advantage of this is that the attacker does not have to be very close for the device to become effective, however, it can be used up close also much like a stun gun.
 
Self defense videos and classes are also an excellent way to effectively protect yourself. Friends may choose to take the class as a group to help relieve some of the anxiety. Some colleges and community centers may offer classes at little or no charge.
 
Of course, one of the most important aspects of personal safety is to be aware of your surroundings. But Self Defense Products like Pepper Spray, Tasers and Stun Guns can be an important part of protecting your college student on campus. TheProtectionCollection.com has a large selection of easy to use and inexpensive but effective Self Defense Products.
