Stress Control
Recap
Stress control isn't a matter of being fearless but of controlling fear with the beliefs that form your mindset and the willpower to do or die. You are what you think you are. Youll succeed only if you believe you can it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Thinking of failure invites it in. But believing better yet, expecting to win vastly improves your chances. The key to victory is 10 percent skill, 90 percent will. So goes a common catch phrase of elite U.S. military Special Ops units. Willpower is a choice. Decide that, no matter what, you are going to win with a self-righteous attitude of How dare you?!!! Flip the switch from fear to fury. Besides, what other choice do you have? When someones trying to kill you, your best bet is to not whimper but roar! Expect the worst, hope for the best, fight with mad-dog ferocity, and never give up, never give up, never give up. All in all, you must do or die. Fighting Options shows you how to do. Also see Improvised Weapons. Recommended Reading
