Learning how to defend yourself can save your life. Martial arts, weaponry, and basic self-defense techniques are a few things you can master. But before conquering these areas, remember that the most crucial facet of self-defense is your mindset. In this Get Yourself Optimized interview, Tim Larkin shares some kickass SEAL training secrets. I joined Tim's training called Target Focus Training or TFT back in 2012, when I joined Tony Robbins Platinum Partners' retreat. That training has stuck in my mind and is filed away, just in case, God forbid, I should ever be attacked. A former military intelligence officer, Tim was part of a beta group that redesigned how Special Operations personnel trained for close combat.

She's determined to show the world that the key to happiness and self-improvement is loving and accepting your most authentic self (and smelling good while doing it).In her journey to create Tamar, the perfume that bears her name, she was convinced that fragrance isn't all about how you present yourself to the world.
