Tips de seguridad personal durante una fiesta en algun evento publico

Me acuerdo creciendo y saliendo a bares no era tan comun ver a mujeres solas, casi siempre iban en grupo y estando en México normalmente no las dejaban salir si no pasaban por ellas.

Hoy en día ha habido un cambio radical y es muy comun que mujeres salgan solas o se encuentren en el lugar con alguna amiga. Hoy en dia tambien hay muchas mujeres que por negocio viajan solas y al final del dia se toman su tiempo para ir un bar a relajarse.

Creo que por esa razon siempre hay que seguir siertas reglas de seguridad personal y estas son algunas de las que siempre recomiendo:

1) Siempre hay que estar pendiente de tu bebida y mantenerla contigo en todo momento, si alguien te va a invitar algo de tomar acompañolo a la barra y asegúrate de tomarlo directamente del bartender.

2) Si vas a ir a una fiesta trata de siempre ir acompañada por una amiga, y cuídense una a la otra, si te das cuenta que tu amiga esta con alguien y notas que no la vez por un tiempo buscala y asegurate de que este bien, siempre tengan un punto de encuentro.

3) Si tomaste mucho, no te vayas con un desconosido siempre es mejor esperar a que se te baje la borrachera o llames a alguien de confianza

4) Si te vas a ir con alguien que no conoces, tómale una foto a la persona y si puedes al carro, y mandasela a alguien de confianza, de hecho esto puede ser una practica entre amigas

5) No camines sola al estacionamiento o a tu carro, más saliendo de un bar en donde estas expuesta a gente que estado tomando, siempre trata de que alguien de acompañe. 

6) No salgas hablando en el celular, de hecho es mejor que lo pongas en la bolsa hasta que llegues al carro.

Acuerdate que el atacante esta buscando por el momento oportuno y el hecho de que estas distraida puede ser que te conviertas en su victima.

Circle of trust

On my last blog, we touched on the basics of awareness. Today, I would like to provide you with the most basic technique for improving your level of awareness.

The number one factor for determining whether something is a threat or not is distance. How close is a certain object, person or situation and can it affect me and my personal space? We refer to this technique as the "circle of trust".

Draw around yourself three imaginary circles, all of different sizes one bigger than the next.

The biggest circle, farthest from you, called the External or Outer Circle, should be drawn as far as you can see. Identify a situation close to the edge of that circle and determine whether it could affect you.
The middle circle, closer to you than the External Circle, may be just a few meters away and it is a situation that although close, it is not close enough to determine whether it may or may not be a threat,
Internal or Inner Circle, is the circle closest to you
-On this circle you have little or no time to make a decision and evaluate what can be your plan of action, this is where your instincts and training may be all the difference on the outcome of the situation

Let me give you a few examples to illustrate each of the three circles:

* While driving, you start seeing smoke up ahead, maybe a few kilometers down the road. Traffic is stating to build up. At that moment, while the situation is still far enough from you to allow you time to make a decision, you can decide to either take an alternate route and avoid getting stuck in traffic or worse becoming part of the situation, or you can continue to drive as planned.
* You are walking home at night and about a block up ahead you see two men standing in the corner. They are not doing anything wrong, but you get a bad feeling about walking towards them. You can continue walking towards them, just paying attention as you walk by them, you may pick up the pace, or you may cross the street and continue walking on the other side.

What is Awareness?

What is awareness? Does being aware make me paranoid? How can I be aware during my every day routine without losing focus on my regular activities? How can I incorporate awareness into my day to day life?

Lets ask ourselves these questions before we encounter a dangerous situation or find ourselves at risk.

Many times, I find myself involved in conversations with someone who was recently been exposed to a dangerous situation such as rape, robbery or assault, and a common denominator among victims is that they think about how they could have reacted differently, how they could have avoided the situation, what if....

So what is awareness? Awareness is the ability to see and understand your surroundings. Awareness is not about feeling paranoid, but rather being in a constant state of alert without living in fear. Awareness means not letting yourself be caught by surprise but rather preempt situations.

As a parent for example, you are always aware and preempting possible risks and hazards. Is the toy the baby is playing with too small? Is the gate properly closed? we are always thinking ahead of children's curiosity. Now, let's apply that same principle to your every day life, while loading groceries into your car or searching your purse for the car keys.

So how aware should you be without becoming paranoid? The level of awareness that one person should have is entirely proportionate to their line of work, the place they live, places they visit, lifestyle. Not everyone and certainly not every situation requires the same level of awareness. Your level of awareness should change as your day and activities change.

Once you learn to manage your different levels of awareness, it becomes natural and you stop thinking about it. It becomes like driving, where you are aware of your surroundings, but the mechanics of accelerating and braking or turning the wheel are routine. You'll pay attention to the poorly lighted parking garage as you walk towards your car instead of shuffling through your purse looking for your keys; You'll look around before getting out of the car instead of being distracted talking on the phone; You'll put your groceries into the trunk of your car while at the same time looking at who might be approaching you.

This all requires practice. Make it into a habit to start looking for suspicious situations and changing your routine when running your every day errands. Soon, it will become natural.
