How To Gain Confidence

By Nui Kahuna

I received an interesting email from a woman of 30 years of age from California late last night. She had been twice attacked by mooks, and the second attack really left her in a deep depression and scantily able to work.

I am no mental health expert nor a psychiatrist nor a psychologist, but I have a bit knowledge about self esteem, on how to get it and how to maintain it. I can tell you this woman is going to be fine, because she figured it out.

The first time she was attacked was when she went to a party where malt drinks and nervous system depressants were given out just like candy. That's a beginner's mistake, and happens more frequently than you can imagine.

The second bad incident happened in an office building where she was working late at night. And this is another common mook scenario. She was unprepared and unprotected in both cases, she's wasn't even physically strong enough to put off her attacker.

This is a pretty common bad event. Where men took advantage of women's physical weakness, as women are not as strong as men. But women can still put down a man, even the strongest, with the aid of the right tools and guts.

The second attack really left her a mess and with her admission, it brought her too much depression and disappointments, with her attacker still free as the police were not able to find him. She was barely able to manage for quite a while. Then by chance, she heard a radio show where they talked about How To protect Yourself!

The woman on the show had also been attacked, and she was telling the audience how to prevent this kind of thing from happening. The number one piece of advice was:

Tool up! And the number two piece of advice was: Have a plan!

Many people are just born with wisdom but not all.

Our girl took both bits of advice she heard on the radio. Soon as she received her tools, she'd carry them all the time. She started lifting her head when she walked, and she became more and more confident knowing that she can now defend herself, she became more aware and watchful of her surroundings, and the depression that clouded her before began to wither.

In her mind, she was clear about just exactly how she would handle an attacker. Not only was she clear on the steps she would take, she was clear on what the alternatives would be if she were to be blocked in any way.

Our girl is now confident, feeling good and walking tall. No more fear, and ready to bust any mooks.
