Self Defence Tip 5: React To Problem Situations
It is essential that when you find yourself in a problematic or potentially problematic situation that you get out of it.
For example, in a previous lesson, Melissa recognized that a man could be planning to hurt her. Recognizing the fact is one thing. The next act you make is doing something about it. For her, it was to recognize that her current situation was less than ideal. She found herself a safer situation to be in by walking across the road to the safety of a gas station.
You should do this in any case that you are in. If you are walking down a park path and notice that there is no one around you all of a sudden, turn back onto a path that is going to take you to a safer situation. Notice when and where you are in danger and take actions to move from it into a safer situation.
