Why Situational Awareness Training Should be Important to us All in New York City
There should be a great reason for all of us as humans navigating through our daily lives in New York City to simply be: aware. This means awareness of what’s happening in your world, environment, wherever and whenever you might find yourself to be.
Important to know and realize we all have situational awareness, however, to what degree can be very dependent on your current priorities, actions, tasks, inner thoughts, mood, and mindset.
In my opinion, situational awareness is one of the most vital, if not the most important, human skill to use, enhance, and hone, yet is one of the most undervalued, overlooked, and under-practiced innate human abilities we possess.
We are inundated every day, for several hours, sometimes even by the minute, and seconds with distractions. These can be daily to-do lists, job stressors, personal duties, family commitments, advertisements, tv, the internet, social media, and our smartphones. We all have them and will have to deal with them. This is just a consequence of living our daily lives while navigating our modern-day environments.
How we respond and react, what and who we choose to focus on, as well as how we prioritize any and all of our distractions can make the difference between having a negative experience with dire consequences to living your life with more confidence to protect your personal safety.
