FAMILY BODYGUARD – MONDAY RESET
As we move towards Christmas this is the point in the year where we all tend to wind down a little and focus on the festive build up. It is also the point where our environment becomes busier than usual. Extra lights on houses, visitors coming and going, unfamiliar cars in the street, delivery vans stopping at every other house, parcels being dropped off at all hours. All of this creates visual noise and it becomes easy to switch off.
Normally one strange car or one person standing in the wrong place would stand out straight away. But at this time of year there is so much activity that the unusual becomes blended into the background. We are busy in our own heads and everyone around us is busy too. That combination often means we miss the small things that would normally alert us to a change in our environment.
So as we start a new week this is a good time to reset with fresh eyes. Each morning take a very simple two second walk around the outside of your home. Look for anything that wasn’t there the night before. Footprints in the garden. A gate that wasn’t quite closed. A bin moved. A strange vehicle parked up. Anything that feels out of place. If you have put in extra lighting this year it will help a lot. If not then your awareness becomes even more important.
Use that basic bodyguard mindset. Imagine you had a principal staying at your house and they were coming out within the next hour. Ask yourself who is around. What cars are on the road. Who is watching. What movement is happening at the end of the street. Think about it clearly rather than emotionally. The aim is not to become paranoid but to stay observant.
Knowledge is power. It is far better to notice something early than to be forced into a reactive situation later. Prevention always beats reaction and ninety percent of prevention comes from simply paying attention.
So start this week with intention. Fresh eyes. Clear awareness. Calm vigilance. A few seconds each morning can make all the difference as we head into the busiest month of the year.
