Positive
Mental Attitude
Positive Mental Attitude -
the driving force that focuses your mind towards an end goal.
In order to
come through any given scenario in one piece, you need the "Will to Survive".
Some people will give up straight away and lie down and die. Others will fight
and fight to overcome seemingly insurmountable hurdles until they succeed. Why?
I don't really know why, it just happens like that. I'm not going to try to
analyse it anyway because I'm only concerned with those individuals who want to
survive. I assume that you are one of the latter (the fact that you are reading
this supports my assumption).
So then, you
want to survive when an emergency occurs. Well so do weand lots of others. So
will plenty who don't have the necessary skills or survival equipment. They
might have a gun or a big stick though and see you and yours as a nice
convenient target.
What will all
your years of training and practice do for you against people with hostile
intent?
NOTHING - unless you have developed the right 'mental attitude' to cope with
hostile aggression.
One of the
greatest assets you can have in any survival situation is a sense of humour.
If you can see the funny side of something not very nice, then you are more
likely to be able to cope with it.
A
sense of humour is a bit like a safety valve - it lets you blow off
steam.
That's where
the mental attitude comes in. Some people will fall in a river and laugh about
it, while others will cry if they step in a puddle. It all depends on your sense
of humour and mental attitude. Like your psychomotor bushcraft skills, you can
also develop your cognitive bushcraft skills to help you get through.
