Pre-Planning to Survive an Active Shooter: Four Strategies

When it comes to personal safety, being prepared is crucial. In the unfortunate event of an active shooter situation, having a plan in place can make a significant difference. By focusing on self-awareness, situation awareness, location familiarity, and pre-planning, you can enhance your chances of staying safe. Let's dive into these four strategies:

1. Self Awareness
Where are you physically. If not the exact address, take note to your location, that you are at the corner of A and B. Where should you park before entering the location. Assess activity before you go in, does it look like business as usual. 

2. Situation Awareness

Once you enter a location, it's essential to quickly assess the situation. Pay attention to entry points and exit points, as well as any potential hiding spots or barriers that could provide cover. Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings at all times. This heightened situational awareness can help you identify potential threats and take appropriate action.

3. Location Familiarity

Familiarity with the layout of a building can be a valuable asset in an active shooter situation. Take the time to pre-plan and familiarize yourself with the building's layout, including the exits and alternative escape routes. Knowing where to go and how to navigate the space efficiently can save precious seconds and potentially save lives.

4. Pre-Planning

Pre-planning is a proactive approach to personal safety. Consider different scenarios and develop a plan for each one. Identify potential escape routes and safe areas where you can seek shelter. Discuss your plan with others who may be with you, such as family members or colleagues, and establish a communication strategy. By pre-planning, you can act quickly and decisively in a high-stress situation.

Remember, personal safety is a serious matter, and it's important to stay informed and updated on best practices for active shooter situations. Stay vigilant, trust your instincts, and always prioritize your well-being and the well-being of others.

Stay safe, and if you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to contact me.

The academy also features a full fitness club and spa. After a long day of training, there's nothing more refreshing than a relaxing spa session.

While the academy is indeed expensive, it's not out of reach. The value you get far outweighs the cost.

I had the pleasure of staying right at the academy. They have their own hotel within the facility, which adds to the convenience and overall experience.

Learning is a lifelong journey. It's not just about absorbing information, but also about understanding and retaining it. One of the most effective ways to retain what we learn is by actively engaging with the information. This can be done through talking about it, demonstrating it, and teaching it.

Talk About It

Discussing what you've learned is a great way to reinforce your understanding. It allows you to process the information in your own words, which can help you remember it better. It also gives you the opportunity to get feedback and different perspectives, which can deepen your understanding.

Demonstrate It

Practical application is key to retaining knowledge. By demonstrating what you've learned, you're not just remembering the information, but also understanding how it works in a real-world context. This can make the information more meaningful and easier to remember.

Teach It

Teaching what you've learned to others is one of the most effective ways to retain information. It forces you to understand the information well enough to explain it to others. It also allows you to review and reinforce your knowledge.

In conclusion, learning is not a passive process. It requires active engagement and application. By talking about, demonstrating, and teaching what you learn, you can significantly improve your retention and understanding of the information. So, the next time you learn something new, don't just read or listen – engage with the information and see the difference it makes.

Insulin, often referred to as the 'master hormone', plays a crucial role in our bodies. It is responsible for transporting nutrients and other hormones to our cells, ensuring they function optimally. However, our lifestyle choices can significantly impact how effectively insulin performs its duties.

When we consume food, particularly carbohydrates, our body breaks it down into glucose. This glucose enters our bloodstream, prompting our pancreas to produce insulin. Insulin's job is to remove this glucose from the bloodstream and deliver it to our cells where it is used for energy.

However, if we continuously load our bloodstream with glucose, say by eating every two hours, we can put our pancreas under immense strain. Over time, this can lead to the pancreas wearing out and becoming less effective at producing insulin.

Chronic presence of insulin in the bloodstream can lead to a condition known as insulin resistance. This is when our cells become less responsive to insulin, meaning they struggle to absorb glucose from the bloodstream. This can lead to high blood sugar levels and potentially, type 2 diabetes.

So, how can we ensure we remain insulin sensitive?

Exercise and a low-carb diet are two key strategies. Regular physical activity encourages our cells to use glucose for energy, reducing the amount in our bloodstream and therefore, the amount of insulin required.

A low-carb diet, on the other hand, reduces the amount of glucose entering our bloodstream in the first place. This means our pancreas doesn't have to work as hard to produce insulin, reducing the risk of it wearing out.

In conclusion, insulin is a vital hormone in our bodies. However, our lifestyle choices can significantly impact its effectiveness. By incorporating regular exercise and a low-carb diet into our routines, we can help ensure our bodies remain insulin sensitive and reduce the risk of insulin resistance and its associated health complications.

Remember, your health is your wealth. Take care of it.

We all have dreams and aspirations that ignite a fire within us. They are the visions of the life we want to live, the impact we want to make, and the legacy we want to leave behind. But sometimes, we find ourselves stuck in the realm of "what ifs" and "somedays." It's time to break free from that cycle and start taking action on our dreams.

Embrace the Power of Now

The first step towards turning your dreams into reality is to embrace the power of now. The present moment is all we truly have, and it's where the magic happens. Don't wait for the perfect conditions or the right time to start. Start now, with what you have, and trust that everything else will fall into place.

Believe in Yourself

Believing in yourself is crucial when it comes to pursuing your dreams. You are capable of far more than you can imagine. Banish self-doubt and replace it with self-belief. Remind yourself of your strengths, talents, and past accomplishments. Trust that you have what it takes to overcome any obstacles that come your way.

Set Clear Goals

Setting clear goals is essential for turning dreams into reality. Break down your big dreams into smaller, actionable steps. Create a roadmap that will guide you towards your desired destination. Set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals that will keep you focused and motivated along the way.

Take Consistent Action

Dreams don't come true overnight. They require consistent action and effort. Commit to taking small steps every day towards your goals. Celebrate each milestone, no matter how small, and keep pushing forward. Remember, progress is progress, no matter how slow. Stay consistent, and you'll be amazed at how far you can go.

Embrace Failure as a Learning Opportunity

Failure is not the end; it's a stepping stone towards success. Embrace failure as a learning opportunity and a chance to grow. Don't let fear of failure hold you back from taking action. Instead, see it as a valuable lesson that will bring you closer to your dreams. Learn from your mistakes, adjust your course, and keep moving forward.

Surround Yourself with Supportive People

Building your dreams is not a solo journey. Surround yourself with supportive people who believe in you and your vision. Seek out mentors, coaches, and like-minded individuals who can provide guidance, encouragement, and accountability. Together, you can uplift and inspire each other to reach new heights.

Celebrate Your Progress

As you take action on your dreams, remember to celebrate your progress along the way. Acknowledge and appreciate how far you've come. Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small. This positive reinforcement will fuel your motivation and keep you inspired to continue pursuing your dreams.

You Have the Power to Make It Happen

Remember, you have the power to make your dreams happen. Believe in yourself, set clear goals, take consistent action, embrace failure, surround yourself with support, and celebrate your progress. The journey may not always be easy, but it will be worth it. So, take that first step today and start turning your dreams into reality. Your future self will thank you.

In his groundbreaking book, "Primal Blueprint," Mark Sisson presents ten primal laws that serve as a blueprint for achieving optimal health and well-being. These laws are based on our ancestral heritage and are designed to help us thrive in the modern world. Let's explore these ten laws and discover how they can transform your life.

1. Eat Plants and Animals
The first law emphasizes the importance of consuming a variety of nutrient-dense foods. Our ancestors thrived on a diet rich in plants and animals, and so can we. Focus on consuming whole, unprocessed foods that nourish your body and provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

2. Avoid Poisons
To achieve optimal health, it's crucial to minimize exposure to toxins. This law encourages you to steer clear of processed foods, artificial additives, and harmful substances. Choose organic, stay away from sugars, grains and chemically altered oils.

3. Move Often
Our bodies are designed for movement, not sedentary lifestyles. Regular physical activity is essential for maintaining a healthy weight, improving cardiovascular health, and boosting overall well-being. Find activities you enjoy and make movement a natural part of your daily routine.

4. Lift Heavy Things
Strength training is a key component of the primal blueprint. By challenging your muscles with resistance exercises, you can increase bone density, improve posture, and enhance overall strength. Incorporate weightlifting or bodyweight exercises into your fitness routine to reap these benefits.

5. Sprint Once in a While
While chronic cardio may have its place, occasional bursts of high-intensity sprinting can yield remarkable results. Sprinting improves cardiovascular fitness, boosts metabolism, and promotes fat burning. Find a safe space and incorporate short bursts of intense activity into your workouts.

6. Get Plenty of Sleep
Quality sleep is vital for optimal health and well-being. Make sleep a priority by establishing a consistent bedtime routine, creating a sleep-friendly environment, and practicing relaxation techniques. Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night to support your body's natural healing processes.

7. Play
Play isn't just for children; it's an essential part of a balanced life. Engage in activities that bring you joy, whether it's dancing, hiking, painting, or playing a sport. Playfulness promotes creativity, reduces stress, and enhances overall happiness.

8. Get Plenty of Sun
Sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, which plays a crucial role in various bodily functions. Spend time outdoors, soak up the sun's rays, and allow your body to produce this essential vitamin. Just remember to protect your skin with sunscreen when necessary.

9. Don't Do Stupid Things
This law reminds us to make wise choices that prioritize our well-being. Avoid risky behaviors, excessive stress, and harmful habits. Cultivate self-awareness and make decisions that align with your long-term health and happiness.

10. Expand Your Mind
Continual learning and personal growth are fundamental to living a fulfilling life. Embrace new experiences, read books, take courses, and engage in meaningful conversations. Expand your knowledge and challenge your beliefs to unlock your full potential.

By embracing these ten primal laws, you can create a solid foundation for optimal health, well-being, and personal growth. Remember, small steps taken consistently can lead to significant transformations. Start implementing these laws today and witness the positive impact they have on your life.

While in the L.A. County Jail I learned how to be a card counter in Las Vegas and make money doing it. I was in the jail, but not as an inmate. I was working the jail division as a deputy sheriff. When you first graduate from the academy in the L.A. Sheriff's Dept. your first mandatory assignment is working the jail division. I bought a course on card counting from a late night t.v. infomercial. It was called the Bobby Singer method, sold by Bobby Singer himself. I got my own black jack table and immersed myself in the course. Without knowing it, I was applying success principles in my card counting endeavor which made me very successful at it. I had clarity on what I wanted. I made sure I was on the right path, and I took massive action.
