How Can We Stay Situationally Aware? W/Steve From Allegiant [Podcast]

Situational awareness is a hot topic. But what exactly is situational awareness?

To put it simply, situational awareness is being aware of our surroundings. By being aware of our surroundings, we can spot crime, or in some cases prevent it, before it ever happens.

There are so many distractions all around us, and one of the biggest distractions is something we have on us everyday: our cell phones.

It’s not just cell phones, though, that can distract us. There are so many variables that can make us look like easy/soft targets. Including kids, listening to music, handling groceries, etc.

While there are many things in life that require our attention, we can still maintain situational awareness, especially without looking paranoid.

One of the biggest misconceptions about situational awareness is that you need to be constantly looking over your shoulder with a paranoid type attitude that everyone is out to get you.

However, that’s not generally the case.

Steve and I go into more depth about situational awareness and how you can practice everyday to be aware of your surroundings.
