Effective Verbal Self Defense require you to know your intention — it’s one of the key elements I teach in my new book (www.VerbalSelfDefenseBook.com).
The reason is, if you have at least an idea of what it is you want in a situation then you can figure out what you need to say. However, if you have no idea what it is that needs to change in order to feel more secure then you have no way to determine what to say or how to say it …
… and remember, the important thing here is to practice, practice, PRACTICE!
Set intentions at random for anything … going to the store (i.e. ‘my intention is to get everything on my list’) … making dinner (i.e. ‘my intention is to feel relaxed while making dinner’) … etc. Try it whenever you get the chance — simply set an intention and think about it for a moment .. that’s it!
If that’s all you learn to do easily and effortlessly in any situation, no matte how stressful, then you double your chance of dealing with a situation effectively.
