But, at the Monica prove to everybody that she is a different fighter and has a good spirit to fight even though no one believes in him.

 Court Dimension

 The court is 23.77m long and for singles matches, 8.23m wide. For doubles matches the court is 10.97m wide. The court is divided into two equal areas by a net suspended by a cord or metal cable attached to two net posts. The net is 1.07m high and is fully extended to that it fills the space between the two nets posts. The net is 0.914m high at the center, where is held down tightly by a white strap. A white band covers the cord or metal cable and the top of the net. For doubles matches the center of the net posts are 0.914m outside the doubles court on each side. For singles matches the centers of the net posts are 0.914m outside the singles court on each side.

 Equipment

 Rackets- can be made of many alloys or wood. There are no restrictions on the size or materials used in making a racket. It has an oval head and a gradually widening throat that connects the narrow handle with the head of the racket. 

Ball- as per ITF rules, Tennis balls are yellow colored spherical balls, with a diameter between 2.5 and 2.625 inches. They weigh between 2 and 21/16 oz. Pressurized rubber is used to make semi spherical half shells. They are then joined with compressed air between them.

Net- a rectangular net is used to separate the two sides of a Tennis court. The net should cover the space between the two net posts. The net is woven in such a way that it does not allow the Tennis ball to pass through. It is usually tied in about 3 feet above the ground at the centre.

Wrist bands- are worn around wrists to prevent sweat from wetting the players’ palm or the racket. A wet grip might not be strong.

Headbands- are used to absorb sweat. They also tie player’s hair away from their face. Any tight cap made of absorbent material can also be used instead of a head band.

Tennis Shoe- just running shoes don’t provide enough lateral support to players. Tennis shoes are designed to give players better stability and prevent them from sliding while moving sideways. Shoes shouldn’t damage the court when players move briskly across the court.

 Basic Skills

 Footwork

Although you’re not traveling a far distance to the naked eye, tennis players actually rack up miles of walking and running throughout the course of a match. Endurance is key, but so is your footwork because there are tons of quick movements that you need to make in a short period of time and over a short distance. With that in mind, it’s important to know the basic idea behind certain footwork techniques that’ll help you be as economical as possible with your movements.

Serving

This is a crucial part of the game because if you’re not able to effectively serve a tennis ball, it’ll be hard to take control of any game or match you’re participating in. The actual act of serving a ball takes but a few seconds. However, there are tons of small movements within the act itself that make up a successful experience with honing this skill. These small movements include mastering the ball toss, gaining a consistent point of contact, and properly timing each of your movements. Get these basics down first before you move on and start to improve your serve in other ways.

Forehand and Backhand Strokes

There are a number of different strokes used during a tennis match, but forehand and backhand strokes are easily the most common. Learning how your body responds to the backswing, the point of contact, and the follow-through of each stroke is crucial before going on and learning anything else. What’s great is that if you don’t have a partner to practice with, all you need is a racquet, some tennis balls, and a wall to commit these movements to muscle memory. Even after you feel comfortable with the movements, it’s important to keep some kind of forehand and backhand drills as a regular part of your practice routine.

Technical and Tactical skills

              Practical resource that will help you become a better high school, club, or college tennis coach. With the expert guidance of Kirk Anderson, director of recreational coaches and programs for the United States Tennis Association (USTA), you'll learn coaching and evaluating skills and then focus on technical and tactical skills of tennis, including quick tips on detecting and correcting errors in your athletes, cues athletes need to be aware of in various tactical situations, and key information your athletes need to know in order to make the appropriate decisions on the court. Skills are cross-referenced so you can see how they relate to each other and quickly determine how to use them in practice situations. Whether you are a veteran coach or just a beginner, this book will help you take your coaching to the next level by providing you with the tools you need to teach athletes the game of tennis.

 Rules of the Game

§  A ball must land within bounds for play to continue; if a player hits the ball outside of bounds, this results in the loss of the point for them.

§  Players/teams cannot touch the net or posts or cross onto the opponent’s side.

§  Players/teams cannot carry the ball or catch it with the racquet.

§  Players cannot hit the ball twice.

§  Players must wait until the ball passes the net before they can return it.

§  A player that does not return a live ball before it bounces twice loses the point.

§  If the ball hits or touches the players, that counts as a penalty.

§  If the racquet leaves the hand or verbal abuse occurs, a penalty is given.

§  Any ball that bounces on the lines of boundary are considered good.

§  A serve must bounce first before the receiving player can return it.

 How to officiate the sport            

Chair Umpire- to ensure the rules of a tennis match are upheld correctly, a chair umpire is appointed in competitive matches to maintain the spirit of fair play. This umpire sits in an elevated chair by the net and announces the score. Like most sports, the chair umpire has the final word on all issues that happen during play.

Line Umpire- work on court as part of a team of between one and nine line umpires. The line umpire calls all shots relating to their assigned line. Each line umpire is assigned to one line or a position in a system if the crew is short-handed. For example, a line umpire on the receiver's side may have to cover the centre service line, and then move to one of the sidelines after the serve. Line umpires are a requirement for professional tennis games.

The Fates

Just a drabble about what happens after S8.

Queen of Ashes or the Mad Queen were some of the more innocuous names they gave her.  Daenerys who so loved having her meaningless and ultimately false titles listed upon introductions was given much less kinder names by the people of Westeros.  Queen of Murderers. Slaughterer of Innocents. The Burner of Children.  It was not unforeseen that the people, particularly the small folk, would not have kind memories of the woman who had burnt down a city and murdered thousands.

And her former allies did not escape the consequences.  It was foolish of the Unsullied to think that there would be no consequences to the murderous rampage they took part of five years ago.  They had been the first to fall.  Afterall, the relatives of the ones they had just freshly slaughtered were the same people they expected and relied on to fill their boats for their long voyage with supplies.  All it took was a smear of blood here, a trace of excrement there in the foodstuff and the heralded Unsullied warriors found themselves on their knees, dying by the dozen out in the middle of the sea until their boats became ghost ships, floating unmanned until they were taken by storms or rocks and sank to the bottom of the ocean.

The Dorothki did not fare much better.  In some ways, the few that remained in Westeros, were easy to take care of as there was not much anyone needed to do.  Unused to the climate and illnesses in this country, they quickly sickened and died and in a few moons after they had set sail, only a few were left and little cause for concern.

Out of Daenerys former allies, it was one who’s association with one of her allies that fell first.  Many had questioned King Bran the Broken’s choices for his small council. What was the reasoning to appoint a former sellsword like Bronn as Master of Coin?  It wasn’t Bran’s choice, but his Hand’s selection, fulfilling an obligation and hoping to secure one ally in a city that hated him.  However, the prominence of Bronn’s role likely marked him early for reprisal. Many viewed the Lannister, particularly Tyrion Lannister who helped bring the Queen of Ashes to their shore, with undisguised hatred.  Friends of his weren’t viewed with kind eyes.  But unlike Tyrion who knew he was hated and kept close to the Red Keep over concerns of his safety, Bronn thought he was not in jeopardy.  He was wrong and the knife in his gut after visiting one of the makeshift brothels set up made the last Lannister even more paranoid of his own safety.

A representative of Dorne became the next Master of Coin.  People had not forgotten Dorne was once an ally of Daenerys Targaryen as well, but the new prince had wisely distanced himself from that association, noting it was Ellaria Sand who had made the alliance, and became a stalwart supporter of the new monarch.  The new Master of Coin proved to be a wise and judicious official and the Six Kingdoms benefited greatly from his appointment.

Yara Greyjoy, blindly and foolishly still loyal for whatever reason to Daenerys’ memory attempted to attack the North in reprisal for Jon Snow’s actions.  They were easily repelled by the Northern ships, one in particular with a direwolf as its figurehead.  That ship had rammed Yara’s own and her men were quickly overwhelmed.  Yara herself was killed in that fight, by a small, quick figure.  Her death created a momentary power vacuum in the Iron Islands, but a cousin eventually won out. This cousin was more savvy and less blinded and worked with both King Bran and Queen Sansa and soon found a way to make the Iron Islands prosperous without attacking and pillaging: they simply were some of the best sailors. As trade with other countries opened up the Ironborn found their services for shipping in great demand and as for potential pirates, they learned to steer clear of ships with Kraken sigil.

After two years on Bran’s council, Davos found himself back in the North.  It was more for his safety and sanity than anything.  While he managed to get the fleet back into shape, he found himself, while not hated as much as Tyrion, still tainted by his association with the Dragon Queen.  He was among those who participated in the destruction of Kings Landing.  His actions to try to help people was disregarded or scoffed at by most.  Afterall, small actions of one pale in comparison to the enormous horror inflicted on the people.  He found he could not traverse freely in the streets and always had to travel with armed guards. An attempt on his life, a knife attack that left him with a wound to his shoulder and weeks of recovery, convinced him he should resign his post and perhaps partake himself to more friendly territory.

Bran accepted his resignation gracefully and sent Davos to be with Sansa who allowed him to assist her own Master of Ships.  While the Northerners regarded him suspiciously, not forgetting how he had helped bring the Dragon Queen to their land and offering praise of her “kindness” in the beginning, they at least did not try to assassinate him.  So Davos fell into comfortable existence, if a much less grand one.

And what of Tyrion Lannister? The former Hand of the Burner of Children?  Many were appalled by King Bran’s choice of Hand, but as the young Stark said, he would be spending his time making up for all of the destruction caused not only by his assistance to Daenerys, but the reign of the Lannisters as well.  Tyrion found himself working long and hard hours, trying to rebuild the city and meet the needs of the people.  There was nothing else he could do.  If he showed his face outside of the Red Keep he would undoubtedly meet the same fate as Bronn, if not worse. He dared not even bring any women in to entertain him, uncertain if they would try to kill him.  He grew suspect of his wine, wondering if it was poisoned.  When he complained about his fears to King Bran, the young monarch had simply replied,

“Then you much do more to show that you are trying to set right all the wrong you had done in the past.”

“I wonder if you want to get me killed,” was Tyrion’s bitter reply.

“All of our fates have been set.  We can only let them play out.”

“And is my fate to be murdered in my bed or at a council meeting?” Tyrion sneered.

“For now, your fate is to figure out the sewage system for Flea Bottom.”

On this went for five years as Tyrion grew increasingly paranoid, but the country began to recover. But did he get the credit for this? No, he grew even more bitter as the people began to hail King Bran for his clever ideas and helping and relieving the suffering of the people. And then, just before the fifth anniversary of the burning of Kings Landing that Tyrion made his last and most fatal mistake. As preparations were being made to recognize the tragedy, Tyrion, in a drunken stupor decided to visit some of the memorials that had been erected over the years to the ones killed.  He was found the next morning, beside one such statute, the one of a mother trying to shelter her child.  His face and body was twisted into awful contortions as some great pain had wracked through him before he drew his last breath.  However, no maester could find a cause and thus no search was made for his killer.  If there ever was one.

And what of Jon Snow who was exiled to the Wall?  He was not welcomed in the South.  While recognizing he had ended the reign of terror of the Dragon Queen, like Davos, he had participated in its destruction by nature of commanding some of her troops. It was also not lost of them that he had been her lover and loudly and frequently proclaimed her his queen.  No, they did not want him in the South, but they did not much care about his fate either.  As long as he never left the North nor held any position of power, they were happy to forget about Jon Snow.

And thus, King Bran was able to quietly pardon Jon five years after the destruction of King’s Landing. The memories had not faded and it would be generations before the horrors would become a distant memory, but as long as Jon stayed out of the Six Kingdoms, the South would not care.  They would give him that peace in exchange for ending the Burner of Children.

So with this pardon in hand and the one Queen Sansa had given him months after his banishment, Jon Snow made his way out of from the far North towards Winterfell.  When he arrived, he knelt before Queen Sansa, the Queen Who Never Bent, offering her his sword and allegiance which she accepted and he was made head of her Queensguard.  The North too regarded him with some suspicion.  They had not forgotten he was the King Who Bent the Knee and brought a murderous tyrant into their homeland, but they also, quietly and shamefacedly recalled that some of their own Northernmen, some of their kin, were among the murdering savages that dark day in Kings Landing, or were reminded of that, and quickly kept their comments to themselves.

That first year was not easy on Jon as he re-adapted to life in Winterfell, but the routine helped. It wasn’t until he was there almost a year that he was finally welcomed back as a Northern son.  The Queen had been out visiting some of the farms who had adapted some new techniques to help with increased crops.  As always, she was accompanied by her Queensguard when they were suddenly attacked by a band of brigands made up by outlaws and even three Dorothki.  The Queensguard were outnumbered, and one attacker got close enough to the queen to pull her from her horse.  Instead of dragging her onto his own horse, the queen had fallen to the ground and it appeared as if a horse had trampled her.  As some who were there will tell the story later, this sent Jon Snow into a frenzy. He alone began to cut down attacker after attacker, trying to get to the queen who laid still on the ground. As the bodies of the brigands laid strewn and covered in blood, he had dropped to his knees beside the queen and uttered in a voice that was the epitome of anguish,

“Sansa…”

She was unconscious and her party rode quickly back to Winterfell, Jon Snow cradling her in his arms. He haunted the hallway outside her door as the maester saw to her injuries, the blood of the men who attacked them drying on his hands and clothes.  Soon the door opened and the maester came out to give Jon and members of her council assembled news of her condition.

“Just a little bump on her head and sprained wrist,” the maester had said cheerfully.  “She should rest today and tomorrow, maybe even the next day.  She’ll definitely not be doing any writing for at least two weeks as she rests that wrist.” He gave them all a nod and waddled off.

Her council members had sighed in relief and left Jon standing in the hallway staring the Sansa’s chamber door.  Later, her handmaiden would say that she came out to ask Ser Jon to go in and see the queen as she had asked for him.  No one knew exactly what transpired between them but they noticed a shift in their relationship. A growing closeness and an even more protective fierceness within Jon. Soon There were whispers about the Queen and the captain of her Queensguard, but the Northerners had no issue. Had he not shown his loyalty to their queen?  Issues any Northerners had with Jon began to fade.

So it was no surprise a year later when Bran received a raven inviting him to the wedding of Queen Sansa and Jon Snow.  He would be her consort and take the name of “Stark.”  He would hold no titles or position.  He would simply be her husband, the father of her children and the man who would protect her with every ounce of his being.

Bran laid down the scroll with the invitation on it and looked up as Samwell Tarly regarded him closely.

“Did you know it would play out this way?” Sam asked curiously.  “That things would right themselves in a few years?”

Bran gave him for what passed as a smile for him and repeated the words he had said to Tyrion a few years ago, “All of our fates have been set.  We can only let them play out.”

My Top 5 Breathing Exercises for Stress Relief

A little stress is the spice of life, and it has its benefits. Healthy stress can help sharpen your focus so you can power through that work presentation, for example, creatively solve a pressing problem, or even run a 5K at top form. If you had no stress in your life, you’d likely be bored, unmotivated, and not living up to your full potential.

But when stress becomes chronic, or long term, it begins to take a toll on both your body and your brain—which happens to way too many of us. More than three-fourths of all Americans regularly experience stress-related physical symptoms such as fatigue, headache, or an upset stomach. (1) Stress seeps into relationships, invades your office space, and keeps you up at night.

Fortunately, you can learn to manage it—and simple breathing techniques can help. Here are five breathing exercises for stress relief to help you through your next difficult moment.

Diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and gut dysbiosis all have links to chronic stress. If you’re feeling stressed day in and day out, these breathing exercises can help. Take a deep breath and check out five breathing techniques that can help you find relief. #healthylifestyle #wellness

This Is You on Stress

Stress is a normal mind–body response that all of us experience to some degree. Physiologist Hans Selye first used "stress" in this sense in 1936, defining it as the “non-specific response of the body to any demand made upon it.” (2)

When you’re stressed, you go into what’s known as “fight-or-flight” mode: your body releases a surge of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which snaps you into high-alert mode. Your blood pressure and heart rate go up, your muscles tighten, you breathe faster, and your senses sharpen.

There are real evolutionary advantages to this. After all, how do you think our Paleolithic ancestors survived being chased by predators? These physical changes in your body speed your reaction time and enhance your focus and allow you to act quickly and decisively. This rush of stress hormones appears to temporarily strengthen brain neuron connections, which, in turn, may improve your memory and concentration over the short term.

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley found that rats exposed to acute but short-lived stress doubled the production of new brain cells in their hippocampus (the memory center of the brain), compared to brain cell production under normal conditions. (3) This type of short-term stress may actually help to temporarily boost immunity by increasing levels of white blood cells like neutrophils and lymphocytes. (4)

Managing Bad Stress

The key to managing your stress is the ability to turn it on and off like a faucet. Left on too long, it can cause major damage to your mind and body. In our 21st-century world, stress doesn’t usually come in the form of occasionally fighting against life-threatening wild beasties as we hunt and gather our food. Instead, it manifests on a daily basis through routine stressors—a traffic-filled morning commute … a difficult boss … deadlines and demands … unresolved relationship issues … family obligations … and a cellphone chirping at you at all hours of the day.

Your body responds to this chronic stress by activating the hypothalamus, triggering your adrenal glands to release cortisol. When you’re constantly stressed, your cortisol levels are running high all the time. That’s why you—and your body—are headed for health trouble if you don’t get chronic stress under control.

A 2018 study published in the journal Circulation, for example, examined almost 222,000 people over the age of 45 and found that those with a high degree of stress had a significantly higher risk of heart attack or stroke. (5) Another study found that people who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other stress-related psychiatric issues were up to 46 percent more likely to develop an autoimmune disorder later in life. (6)

Other effects of chronic stress include:

Elevated blood sugar, increasing risk of diabetes

Weakened immune system

Leaky gut

Reduced ability to burn fat and increase in belly fat

Reduced (inadequate) levels of the adrenal hormone DHEA, testosterone, growth hormone, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which can lead to insulin resistance

Higher risk of depression, anxiety, and mood imbalances

Stress contributes to all modern, chronic disease.

No matter how picture perfect your lifestyle may appear to be—and no matter how healthy your diet is—if you’re not managing your stress effectively, you’re at risk for modern degenerative conditions like heart disease, diabetes, hypothyroidism, and autoimmune disorders.

Breathe Your Way to Stress Relief

While we can’t eliminate all stress from our lives, we can control our responses to it. Stressful experiences often trigger a cascade of fears and anxieties. As a result, we get so carried away by our thought processes that we’re unable to cope with the reality of the moment.

Enter mindful breathing. It’s exactly what it sounds like—being mindful of, or putting all your attention into, your breath.

This type of practice helps ground us in the present moment and focus on what is, right now, rather than what we fear might be. It’s a very helpful mindfulness technique, especially for beginners and for those who resist traditional meditation practices, because it gives you something specific to focus on—your breathing—when your mind starts to wander so you won’t get distracted by worries or other negative emotions.

Research shows that mindful breathing is one of the most effective tools in our toolbox to reduce stress and anxiety. In one study, practicing daily mindful breathing reduced feelings of test anxiety in college students, and eventually scientists stumbled upon the reason why: Deep breathing appears to deactivate a handful of brain nerve cells that trigger anxiety. (7, 8)

Try These Five Breathing Exercises for Stress Management

Ready to give it a try? Here are five breathing techniques to get you started.

1. Basic Beginner Breaths

If you’re just dipping your toes into mindful breathing, keep it as simple and straightforward as possible. The most basic way to do mindful breathing is to focus your attention on your breath, both the inhale and the exhale, ideally sitting or lying down (you may find it easier to hold onto your focus with your eyes closed).

Take exaggerated breaths: a deep three-second inhale through your nose, hold your breath for two seconds, and breathe out through your mouth for four seconds. When your mind wanders, bring your attention once again to your breath. Repeat. Try working your way up to about 15 minutes a day. (9)

2. Diaphragmatic Breathing

This type of breathing—also called “abdominal breathing” or “belly breathing”—slows your heartbeat and can also lower blood pressure. Diaphragmatic breathing reduces the body’s “fight-or-flight” response, researchers have found, and stimulates the activity of the vagal nerve, another important component of stress reduction. (10)

Here’s how to do it: (11)

Lie on your back on a flat surface with your knees bent (if needed, place a pillow under your knees for support)

Put one hand on your upper chest and one below your rib cage, so you can feel your diaphragm move as you breathe

Inhale slowly through your nose, feeling your stomach move out against your hand, then tighten your stomach muscles as you exhale through your mouth

Practice this type of breathing for five to 10 minutes, three to four times a day. As you get more comfortable with this method, you can even place a book on your stomach to make it a little more challenging (and effective).

3. Alternate Nostril Breathing

This technique—where you rotate inhaling through one nostril and exhaling through the other—is a yogic breath control practice. It’s thought to harmonize the two hemispheres of the brain, and, as a result, balances your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. A 2013 study found that people who practiced alternate nostril breathing lowered their perceived stress levels. (12)

Here’s how to do it: (13)

Sit straight up in a comfortable seat, your left palm comfortably in your lap

Lift your right hand to your face so that your pointer and middle fingers rest between your eyebrows

Close your eyes and inhale and exhale deeply through your nose

Close your right nostril with your right thumb while inhaling through your left nostril

Close your left nostril with your ring finger so both nostrils are held closed for a moment, then open your right nostril and exhale slowly through your right side

Inhale through your right nostril, then hold both nostrils closed with your ring finger and thumb

Open your left nostril and exhale slowly through your left side

Repeat five to 10 times once a day, or as desired

4. 4-7-8 Breathing

This technique, developed by integrative medicine guru Andrew Weil, MD, is based on the yogic technique pranayama. Weil himself refers to it as a natural tranquilizer for the nervous system.

How to do it: (14)

Sit with your back straight and place the tip of your tongue behind your upper front teeth. You’ll need to keep it there throughout this breathing exercise

Exhale through your mouth, making a whoosh sound

Close your mouth and inhale through your nose to the silent count of four

Hold your breath for a count of seven

Open your mouth and exhale through it, making a whoosh sound to a count of eight

Repeat this cycle three more times

Repeat this process at least twice a day

5. Body Scan

This breathing technique involves doing deep breathing while focusing your attention on different parts of your body, from head to toe, starting with your forehead and ending at the muscles in your feet. Combat veterans with PTSD who performed it for 20 minutes each day at home for six weeks reported improvements in symptoms, according to a 2016 Oregon Health & Science University study. (15) Another study of women aged 18 to 46 found that those who practiced body scan four days a week for three weeks reported feeling less stress and more happiness than a placebo group. (16) It can be done lying down or sitting—whatever’s most comfortable for you.

Here’s how to do a body scan: (17)

While sitting or lying down, close your eyes and pay attention to your body’s position—for example, the weight of your body against the chair or the floor

Take a deep breath, visualizing oxygen entering your body as you inhale and focusing on a sense of relaxation as you exhale

Focus on the sensations of your feet touching the floor or of your legs pressing against the chair

Now, work your way up to bring attention to other areas of your body. How does your back feel against the chair? Are your hands or stomach tense? (If so, try to relax them.) Loosen your shoulders and let your jaw relax

Take one more moment to notice your whole body, take a breath, and open your eyes

Initially, start with short periods of time of three to five minutes before working your way up to at least 20 minutes at least three times a week. The more you practice body scan, the more benefits you’ll enjoy.

Now, I’d like to hear from you. Have you ever tried any of these breathing exercises for stress? What were your results? Tell me below in the comments!

A subject close to my constant mantra, and one where political correctness has NOT been factored in to be “fair” or spare any groups feelings. The absence of disclaimers is intentional. As always, if you have information for Preppers that you would like to share and possibly receive a $25 cash award as well as be entered into the next Prepper Writing Contest with a chance to win one of three Amazon Gift Cards  with the top prize being a $300 card to purchase your own prepping supplies, enter today!

“On a warm spring night, after eating dinner with friends and deciding to do a little late-night dancing, a young lady walks across the top floor of a well-lit parking garage.  She’s tired, worn out from the night of dancing and to help combat her fatigue, one hand is carrying a latte from the local late-night coffee joint down the road while her other hand fumbles in her purse.

Since it’s the top floor of the garage, there are few really good places to mount a security camera, so the ones that do exist are not able to capture much outside of the fact that behind her, a black-clad man with his hood up approaches her from behind as she unlocks her car door, and attacks.  Within seconds, he slams the back of her head, knocking her unconscious with his blow, if not with the ricochet of her head against the roof of the car.  Picking up her keys off the ground, throwing her inside the car bodily, he’s driving off through the garage, and is out of camera range very quickly to do…well, just about anything he wants.”

While this is a fictional situation, it’s the kind of thing that I’m starting to think about now that my daughter is going to be attending college in the big city.  She has basic skills in martial arts, an interest based on an activity that I required of her when she was a young teen, but doesn’t have a firearm and doesn’t carry any weapons in her purse.  What can she do to prevent this kind of attack?

3 Ways to Discourage Street Attacks

#1 – Situational Awareness & Mindfulness

Millennials often get a bad rap for being too tied into their phone, but it’s not only them. People of every age do it and they need to beware of the risks of making their way through life oblivious to those around them.  In a world where any kind of media is immediately available through so many channels, it’s easy to put your headphones in and enjoy a little entertainment on those lonely walks down the streets.  I love podcasts myself, and I know how easy it is to get lost in what the hosts are discussing and become engrossed to the point of making secondary the thoughts about where you are, where you’re going, what you planned on doing, and how you’re getting there.

Situational Awareness is simply the act of being constantly aware of what is happening around you.  It is essential in any kind of potentially dangerous situation to be mindful of what is happening around you, keeping a clear head, focusing on the present situation and your present environment.  Use as many of your senses as you can – listen to the ambient sounds, notice the smells of your environment, put your eyes and your head on a swivel, looking behind you every thirty seconds or so, and more often if entering a new environment.

I used the word “mindful” in the last paragraph, because Mindfulness is becoming a part of the zeitgeist of modern life as well.  This age-old concept is very simply a set of techniques designed to help you focus on the present moment, and what is happening around you – very similar to situational awareness.  Looking up some simple mindfulness exercises like “leaves on a stream” or even practicing basic meditation is a good way to help build your tolerance for long periods of being in the moment.

In the above situation, the young lady who was attacked likely had no idea that there was someone else on the roof of the parking garage, much less that he was following her, even as closely as he would have had to in order to attack so quickly.  Having no situational awareness, and likely being lost in a world of her own thoughts or in cell phone music or audio programs was her first big mistake.  Had she been looking around, aware of her situation, and perhaps even made eye contact with the attacker on her way towards her car, she may have done enough to encourage him to choose a different target.

#2 – Providing Disinformation

If you were an attacker who wanted to prey on someone, would you choose a man or a woman to attack?  Young or middle aged?

Almost everyone would choose a young female. The reasons are simple – she’s less likely to have any interest in martial arts or combat sports, she’s probably smaller and less muscular than her male counterparts, she likely carries more cash or valuable jewelry, and is stereotyped as being more naïve by the media and society at large.  Whether any specific female fits those categories is unimportant, its true that the simple act of being a female makes you a bigger target.

Being a young female isn’t something you can control.  Or is it?

No transgender stuff here.  But it’s possible, highly likely even, that the attacker in the above situation has done at least a small amount of research on this car he found on the top floor of a parking garage late at night, and it’s surprising what you can figure out about someone based on their car.

Does she have custom vanity license plates?  If so, those are generally a strong indicator that this is a female, unless the plates say something decidedly masculine like “GUNDUDE8” or “PREP MAN”.  If he peeks inside and sees custom leopard print seat covers, a steering wheel cover, or fuzzy dice on the rearview mirror, then assumptions can easily be made.   Other information can be gleanes as well.  If he sees a Victoria’s Secrets bag in your passenger seat, then what’s he going to assume?  The contents of your backseat can tell a lot about a person.  Makeup bags, the presence of an infant car seat or a booster, bumper stickers – all of these things say something about you, and help attackers decide if you’re a good target. While they don’t all “scream” female, they do all scream “unfocused” or having their concentration distracted by errands, a child, whatever. We are all guilty of this, especially in places we have frequented where “nothing has ever happened.” Reality is it only has to happen once to be life altering.

The worst offenders of the car customization market are the stick figures that populate the back windows of far too many cars.  Sure, they’re kind of cute, but they give way too much information about who you are, who is in your family, their ages and their interests.  If you have a single woman with two children on there, chances are that you’re coming out to your car either alone, or with two little ankle biters who are occupying all of your attention.

The best tip I’ve heard for single young women who are at risk for being attacked near their car is to give would-be attackers plenty of disinformation designed to encourage them to choose a different target.  A big, well-worn pair of men’s athletic shoes in the back seat, or a duffel bag covered in visible weight-lifting patches and karate logos will go a long way towards indicating to any smart criminals that the person who owns this vehicle is not to be trifled with.

Bumper stickers are also a good way to dissuade people.  Pro-gun bumper stickers, particularly if they endorse concealed carry, are a good place to start, as are indicators that you’re interested in things like MMA, wrestling, martial arts, or bodybuilding, whether you are or not. I have heard the counter-argument, that people “looking for guns to steal” look for cars with an NRA sticker (USMC emblem, etc.) The normal pattern of such a person is to follow you home to see what house to target for a robbery, when they observe you have left the premises. Yes, most people like this have gun safes – do you put your bedside go-to weapon in your gun safe every time you leave your house?

Spiked dog collars are also a simple thing to throw in the backseat.  While that might not be something that will dissuade an attacker in the aforementioned situation, it will work wonders for dissuading attackers spying on your car in a park, forest preserve or who might be looking at your home as a potential target.

Use your normal routine and patterns to decide what kinds of things you want to decorate with, or stash in your car. Understanding the places where you’re likely to be attacked will provide the best understanding of what will work best for you.

#3 – Just do it

People who prey on others are often quite a bit smarter than you might think.  Most have done their homework, and having looked inside your car to find evidence that you may be a very strong male or have a very large dog, might be smart enough to avoid you as a potential attackee.  Despite this, an often cited fact about criminals shows that most crimes that are committed in the US are crimes not borne from passion or careful thinking, but simply crimes of opportunity.

The attacker in the situation above may have been in line behind her in the coffee shop and noticed a $100 bill in her wallet, and taken the chance to follow her.  He may have just been a normal guy walking to his own car when he had a desperate feeling that he could get something from her.  Sometimes, the criminals will ignore any evidence of misinformation you provide, or maybe they’ve cased your car before and seen through your deception.

Sometimes, you just have to fight.  Or at least look like you’re ready for a fight.

Many will advise keeping some kind of weapon in the purse, and it’s hard to deny that this would be a good idea, but I would adovcate that, if not well trained in the use of a knife, pepper spray, a pistol, or whatver weapon might make sense for a young lady to carry, that weapon will be useless.  It might also function as a distraction – it’s mere existance forcing the attacked person to spend valuable reaction time digging around for the weapon instead of running, adopting a defensive posture, striking back, finding some other form of help, or doing almost anything else that may be more productive in helping the situation.

Instead, the simple act of looking ready for a fight is good enough.  Stand up straighter when you walk, turn your head when you look, not just your eyes.  Proactively say hi to people on the street to indicate that you notice them, as this can unnerve criminals who are doing their best to avoid notice.

Remember that if the need arises to defend yourself, it is nearly impossible to do so without a free hand.  If you carry a purse, consider keeping your hand inside it as you walk, not fishing for anything, but as if you’re holding onto something.  The fear of the unknown weapon in your hand may do enough to scare someone off.

Anyone, female or not, would also do well to consider what kinds of objects that you keep on your person and how they may be used as a weapon.  Pocket knives are an obvious choice, but making a fist around your car keys creates a deadly combination of striking and slashing weapons that can do serious damage.  Aerosol deodorant or hair spray is not a great choice, but it can certainly burn the eyes of an attacker if you get lucky.  Using the small, rounded edge of a hairbrush as a striking tool can be helpful to those who don’t have a lot of experience using their fists to punch, and it will likely cause more damage if you don’t already have any martial arts training.

Before exiting the stairwell or elevator, this young women should have had her keys ready in her dominant hand, with the key poking out through her middle and index finger, her hand in a fist.  Even with an improper strike, this will cause damage to any attacker.  That’s a nice easy weapon to carry that will do the damage, doesn’t require specific training, and will help you stay safe out there in the big bad city. And for those of us with “electronic key bobs”, consider investing in some sharp jewelry/bottle-opener thingy’s to add to the key ring. Also, never forget your extended thumb forward when making a fist as this can be devastating to an eye, a throat, even a kidney. Then again, there is this.

Bow Hunting Whitetails - Off-Season Practice

The sound of beating hooves and breaking branches breaks the early-morning quiet. A reverberating split of tusk against prong alarms you alert from a condition of gentle blankness, sending a shock of sensatory lighting down your spine. Gradually pivoting in your stand, you battle to observe the savage forest fight.

Immediately screened by an interminable wilderness of underbrush, you see a glimmer of two goliath outlines out yonder. Mud and ground mess fly every which way - the warmth of fight results. As you watch in awe, the handle of your bow turns into a defenseless crush toy. Brief takeoffs of reality ambush your brain as you sit in unsettled quietness, sitting tight for the climatic end.

At last, one of the antlered-warriors submits rout and the two soldiers go separate ways. As the victor proceeds with his ambush on a close by sapling, you by one way or another recall the snort cylinder dangling from your neck. You press together your trembling lips to the reed-end of the call and power yourself to breathe out. While trying to emulate the throaty hints of a trench crazed whitetail, you almost hyperventilate. Decisively, the gigantic buck lifts his head and swaggers his way towards your stand. At 18 yards, you stop the multi-tined beast with a delicate whistle as you arrive at full draw. Arranging your 20-yard stick just beneath the buck's midriff, you let the string drop from your fingers - and miss!

Despite the fact that the occasions above are totally imaginary, you likely know somebody who has encountered the despair of a missed shot. It might even be fundamentally the same as one of your own snapshots of misery.

I know how it feels to miss a shot. In the event that you have chased with bows and arrows hardware for any timeframe, you most likely have felt a similar disappointment. It's far and away more terrible when your sights are determined to a trophy buck and a well-proposed bolt neglects to hit its imprint. Things being what they are, what is the arrangement? What should be possible to dodge a mental emergency right now of truth? I trust everything begins with a genuine off-season practice routine.

Terrace Nuts and bolts

The mid year months give an incredible opportunity to sharpen your arrow based weaponry abilities. The days are long and the climate is mellow and welcoming. In the event that you need to better your odds at collecting a major buck this fall, right now is an ideal opportunity to get persuaded. Here are some fundamental procedures that I use to get ready for those unique shot chances:

One region that is basic to progress is shooting structure. Your capacity to accomplish predictable precision will endure without it. There are five territories of shooting structure that will be tended to:

1) Stay Point - Ensure you go to a full draw at the accurate area inevitably. Picking a "grapple point" is the initial step. A grapple point is where your shooting hand is "moored" each opportunity you come to full draw. This is typically the side of the mouth for finger-shooters or along the stunning for discharge shooters. You may modify your stay point to compliment your specific shooting style.

2) Position - How you stand while shooting a bow will significantly influence the trip of the bolt. You should remain with a semi-open position with your feet pointing marginally away from the essence of your objective - or at a 45-degree edge. On the off chance that your toes point legitimately at the objective, pulling your bow is troublesome and unbalanced. It will likewise compel you to shoot "around," or straight away from your body. Then again, if your feet are pointed excessively far away, the edge of point will cause extreme string-contact with your bow arm. Be aware of your position during training sessions and it will before long become natural.

3) Point - Pointing a bow, regardless of whether sights are utilized or not, requires great dexterity and a significant level of focus. To energize pinpoint precision, attempt to "pick a spot" while picking a point of point. When taking shots at a feed parcel or comparative objective, center around a specific spot instead of a "territory." Proceed with this propensity in the field when focusing on your quarry. Draw a dab on a precise spot, for example, a distinctive imprint or a tuft of hair. Focus on driving your field focuses and broadheads through the purpose of point while on the training range. Reiteration of this activity will prepare your brain to pick a spot on game creatures

4) Discharge - As I would see it, the demonstration of discharging a bolt is answerable for letting more trophy bucks stroll than some other component of the shot grouping. What's more, it is positively a bowman's most troublesome control to skillfully execute on a predictable premise. When a bolt leaves the bow there is no real way to stop it. Develop whitetails will, for the most part, give just one shot chance. In this manner, I attempt to make the most of each shot open door regardless of on the off chance that I am driving a great many bolts on the training extent or sitting in my preferred stand.

Experimentation with various discharge techniques is the best way to precisely shoot a glove or finger tab. A few specialists state to "roll the string" from your fingers while others state that "snapping the string," is the best approach. Experimentation will be the main variable.

While trying to anticipate conflicting bolt flight, numerous trackers trade their gloves and finger tabs for a mechanical discharge. In the event that this doesn't take care of your specific issue, it might be more profound established, for example, target-alarm, a poorly tuned bow or an extreme instance of buck fever. On the off chance that you end up grieving in the hopelessness of whimsical bolt flight it might be to your greatest advantage to look for proficient guidance. Keep in mind: Time spent on the training extent is the best way to build up a smooth discharge.

5) Finish - The last piece of the shot grouping requires a limited quantity of fixation to draw off. Completing the shot, or "finishing," will enable you to accomplish higher scores on the 3D territory and appreciate shorter blood trails. Numerous toxophilite neglect to achieve predictable exactness because of not building up this ability. Some recoil right now of discharge or attempt to watch the bolt as it flies. Both of these unfortunate propensities will make bolts stray askew.

The procedure used to fix gatherings and make twofold lung shots on game creatures is generally simple to learn. After discharging the string, work on holding the bow unfaltering until the bolt hits its imprint. Or on the other hand keep on holding your stick on focus until the bolt strikes, on the off chance that you use sights. You will see an emotional increment in precision, whenever done effectively.

Mind Games

Shooting a bow requires both physical and mental restraint. I once read that it takes 80 percent mental capacity and just 20 percent physical capacity to shoot a bow precisely. Some accept that the psyche has significantly a greater amount of an impact. Without a personal information of body mechanics, we will in general arrange the demonstration of shooting a bow as a physical accomplishment in excess of an orderly point of view of the brain.

The psyche is a mind boggling instrument. It can play out an assortment of complex undertakings in milliseconds. However the least difficult activities can wind up moment bad dreams. Take open representing occurrence. Some of the time words and sentences stream effectively starting with one theme then onto the next, and after that an extreme instance of tetanus happens. For what reason does that appear to occur even from a pessimistic standpoint conceivable minute? Weight. That single word summarizes why the vast majority neglect to perform in exceptional circumstances - like endeavoring a took shots at a beast buck. So what will balance the reckless impact of one's brain?

An assortment of strategies can help battling shooters, however one of the speediest and most straightforward to learn is "perception." Representation just requires a little creative mind and a real want to improve. Numerous fruitful bowmen use perception strategies to prepare their brains. As often as possible practicing a fanciful shot situation from start to finish is a well known technique for representation. The "on the off chance that you can see it, you can do it" attitude embodies this training. Remove some time from your day and attempt it for yourself. You might be astonished with the outcomes. Hell, you may even be reaching your taxidermist toward the finish of the period.

As referenced already, well-created deftness is important to appreciate accomplishment with arrow based weaponry hardware. Without this capacity, evaluating separation, pointing and shooting would be almost outlandish. Preparing the brain and body to play out these errands on request is the thing that isolates the individuals who score all the time from the individuals who ceaselessly gather label soup plans.

Making a decision about separation is one of the most tricky parts of shooting a bow precisely. Much of the time, human blunder is at fault. Picking "an inappropriate" stick, or basically evaluating the separation inaccurately, causes most of missed shots.

The presentation of electronic rangefinders has dispensed with a great part of the mystery. Be that as it may, even with these cutting edge headways, passing judgment on separation is as yet a test. Attempt this straightforward exercise for improving your capacity to rationally figure obscure separations.

Work on "guesstimating" the range to energize and lifeless things for the duration of the day. Pick a "target, for example, a stationary vehicle, your pet or a fence post and gauge its range. At that point step it off to perceive how well you did. With a little practice, the capacity to successfully pass judgment on separation will turn out to be to a lesser degree a test.

The glaring truth of hunting with bows and arrows gear is that missed shots occur. It appears that nobody is safe for this disease. Be that as it may, there is an approach to decrease the recurrence of your snapshots of quietude - work on during the off-season.

BYUN YOHAN – THE HERMIT. AGENT 09.

                                                   [   FILE TYPE: CLASSIFIED   ]

//: LOADING PROFILE: BYUN YOHAN ...

international age: 25 birthplace: seoul, south korea arcana: the hermit team number: seven

//: LOADING MUTATION: TECHNOPATHY ...

application one: mechanical intuition — in its most simple form, mechanical intuition allows the user to become innately familiar with the workings of machinery with little to no preexisting knowledge of its workings. yohan usually focuses on one piece he’s familiar with, and the rest becomes consequential and interactive, which lends him an understanding of complex physical relationships. his concentration on the collision of individual components rather than the architecture as a whole is a technique that eases the next application: mechanical constructs.

application two: mechanical constructs — understanding mechanics is only the first step, and their construction is an eventual growth. yohan’s memory of the wiring of machines, as well as their structure in relation to each other, means that he sees fragments of machines for their uses; for example, he pieces together constructs only with a purpose in mind and uses the breadth of his knowledge to reach that final destination. once acquired, it widens his perception of machinery, and makes room for the final application: physical restoration.

application three: physical restoration — all his tinkering, as well as his inflexible but efficient fixation on use, gifts yohan the gift of restoration. this entails the reparation of broken machines, familiar or not, as long as missing pieces are at hand. this part is the most intuitive of his application, though the most resourceful.

overall strengths and weaknesses: — although his ability is more grounded, and usually siphons itself into a specific sliver of expertise, it comes with unexplainable impulses and urges. it isn’t rare to see yohan stressed and unable to speak as he takes apart machines like one would a cloth doll: a tug of threads, the spilling and pooling of fabric, the careful separation of pieces – laid out for display. then comes the reconstruction, the eventual stitching back together; it both creates and relieves his nerves. these are the moments where his ability bleeds into his normal life, though it has its shortcomings in application, too. as he isn’t fully trained, any construction or reparation still has a probability of not functioning. reparations depend gravely on context: if there is no predetermined use, or the broken machine is too partial, there is a lower chance of success since yohan has to rely on variables that he hasn’t fully grasped. as for construction, the limitations rely on material: he can’t make guns out of cardboard, and in a similar vein, whatever he uses to build must be cohesive to other pieces. it isn’t rare that some pieces burst or give out; his understanding of material resistance is still inferior to the overall mechanical skeleton. when smaller machinery is concerned, physical touch can be restrained to a single point of contact, meaning that yohan can construct or repair by willing it together as long as that point is preserved. only in rare times of adrenaline can some distance come between him and the object, though this position still has to be trained and developed. if the machinery is too large, yohan has to assist himself with his own hands. for example — if he were to build a car — its components would draw together slowly, as if pulled by magnets, but to quicken the progress, yohan would have to push pieces into place himself. the process and speed are relative to the size and complexity.

//: LOADING HISTORY ..

PRE-MUTATION

“what led you to apply to this company?“

a cluttered desk sits between yohan and the interviewer; the mess is unruly, a bit personal, but it’s not bad enough for yohan to stare. instead he’s perched on the seat with a straight back, posture pristine; his shoulders are balanced and his features are calm, a clean, practiced expression. he calls it useful, though his ex called it robotic, chilling.

maybe he should share that, he thinks, or another useful memory. it isn’t long before his mind pulls at the seams of his life, undoes the knots of each important event and lays them in front of him, like a mechanic would dismantle an engine. perhaps he should share some of his earlier memories: the heat of the small church, the stuffy air; the dress that clung to his mother’s frame, too tight for her aging body; the red welts it left behind, or the bruises that cloud above it – five yellowed stems, all twisting towards the same sun; the shape of his father’s hand.

or maybe he should share the look of his father’s eyes, the neat arc of his arms that urge him to walk. the tremble of his knees as yohan toddles forward while his mother looks from the side, both worried and unfazed, as if he were already too old for her care. his legs quiver and he falls; his father sighs, and the sound burns.

there are older memories, too – these come fresh, more colored, cut with more details. their pain is still precise: his mother’s note on the fridge, the outline of her absence. the silence that bashes around their home as his father drinks away the afternoon in his study. then come the stories at school, strung together by clumsy tongues; a tumultuous time in high school. the burning rebellion that fills his chest, unsure and without direction; an immature understanding of emotion. his first girlfriend, his last – the adventures that clutter between them.

each one is a reminder that no one decision isn’t causal: his life has been the working of a machine, with an input, an output; a conversion of energy. because no one applies to a shipping company out of the blue – no one decision is made in a day. nothing ever begins, only continues.

the dark blue of his mother’s dress on her birthday makes him apply to university; the brooch he left behind, the one he keeps in a drawer, leads him to drink. his father’s voice, stern and loud, like the slamming of doors – angry footsteps on fragile wood – cause yohan to fight, to mimic. he wears his father’s anger well, remains as elusive as his mother.

no, he doesn’t lead his life – he didn’t choose this company, this career. his life leads him: it prods and pulls, pushes and bullies. it teaches to quiet his senses, to live through a filter; it fabricates a new identity, dresses him neatly. and before his interview collapses into a confessional, before that childish quiver returns to his knees, before his voice trembles, yohan becomes automatic. gears turn, engines start; the output is a smile, and a trimmed stream of sound.

POST-MUTATION

the meteor shower arrives when he leaves a public bath one night – the flash he blames on how hot the water had been, a leftover relic of dizziness. the dream that comes three days later he blames on the stress of his promotion, at least that’s what his partner tells him in the morning, too groggy to see him off.

though the oddities begin to unfold, slowly at first. it begins small: he feels the urge to dismantle his pen and piece it back together. the next day, he does it to three of his pens. by the end of the week, he’s done it to every pen in the radius of his desk.

two weeks later, he toys around with the pieces until he’s built a thick and unruly writing utensil that he can’t quite use, though it injects a sense of pride within him anyway – a nostalgic sentiment. these urges only swell: at home, he takes apart the toaster, the remote, and to the horror of his partner, their laptop. they come home to find its pieces laid out, each with their own space, while yohan runs his fingers over them.

it peaks, perhaps, six months later when he’s sent to the factory for a routine audit. when he arrives, commotion clusters around a broken machine; everyone flocks to it like birds, but only yohan steps forward, rolls up his sleeves. only yohan understand that the cooling portion of unit had bled into the part that produced. yet, he can’t voice this, can’t explain it, feels like instinct guiding his fingers, folding his arm, tugging, fixing. it feels, too, a bit like home – that comfortable surrender of control, the tuning out of emotion.

everything after is almost expected, and he accepts them with little protest. just one long sequence of events – pulsing and throbbing as if time and destination were alive; as if the air around him has as much power to choose as he does. he’s almost certain that his abilities do, that they conquer him. that they wash over him like a small army.

the recruitment is only a testament to that, and the collective an expansion of its conclusion. and yohan walks in the direction of the wind, does little to fight, only breeds the small flecks of curiosity that sprout in random times, moments he has yet to understand. soon he falls into the familiar routine of a job; of responsibility and duties; of groups over individuals. the usual.

Alcohol Awareness Month: How the COVID-19 Outbreak is Impacting Alcohol Consumption

    Originally posted on Eleanor Health

As people across the country continue to practice social distancing and follow stay-at-home orders during the COVID-19 outbreak, health authorities are raising awareness of another growing public health concern: increased high-risk drinking. These timely concerns come as sales of alcoholic beverages skyrocket following the stay-at-home orders, and also in recognition of Alcohol Awareness Month.

Importance of Alcohol Awareness During the COVID-19 Outbreak

Established in 1987, the purpose of Alcohol Awareness Month is to increase education related to alcohol addiction. While the negative effects of alcoholism have been well-established for decades, during this time of high stress related to the pandemic, some people may use alcohol as a “coping mechanism.”

In reality, excessive alcohol consumption can cause serious health problems and severe social consequences. With the pandemic disrupting normal life routines and leading to feelings of isolation, it can make it more likely for a pattern of excessive drinking to start or continue.

There have also been false social media posts regarding alcohol’s ability to kill the virus that causes COVID-19. There is no scientific evidence to support these claims and in fact, drinking alcohol is likely to increase health risks if a person is infected with the virus. Alcohol will not work as a disinfectant for your internal system or provide any protection from becoming infected.

Alcohol’s Impact on Health During the COVID-19 Outbreak

To minimize the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19, it is of the utmost importance to maintain good physical health. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to a variety of short and long-term health complications, including weakening the body’s immune system and ability to fight off infectious diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), heavy use of alcohol increases the risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which is one of the most severe complications associated with COVID-19.

In terms of mental health, some people believe that alcohol helps them to cope with stressful situations. In reality, “self-medicating” with alcohol is more likely to increase worries and negative thoughts during these challenging circumstances. Alcohol use can also worsen pre-existing mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and others.

Alcohol Consumption and Safe-at-Home or Quarantine Orders

With millions of people are staying at home to stop the spread of the virus, alcohol is now accessible and available to consume excessively in private, at any hour of the day. Although the pandemic has up-ended so many aspects of everyday life, it is important to maintain all semblances of normalcy, especially when it comes to alcohol consumption. Here are some important tips for safe alcohol use.

Understand the health and safety risks that alcohol poses while staying at home and try to avoid drinking.

Be aware that excessive drinking is associated with domestic violence, self-harm, and child neglect or abuse. If you feel like you’re going to hurt yourself or others, get help as soon as possible by contacting the local authorities.

Know the consumption guidelines for healthy adults: one drink a day for women and up to two drinks a day for men. Avoid binge drinking, which is four or more drinks during a single occasion for women and five or more drinks for men.

Practice professionalism when working from home by maintaining standard workplace codes of conduct and not drinking during work hours, even at lunchtime.

When shopping for groceries and other household necessities, avoid stockpiling alcohol, which could lead to excessive consumption.

Prioritize buying healthy and nutritious food instead of alcohol. Remember that alcohol is not a necessary part of your diet.

Instead of drinking alcohol to pass the time or manage your stress, do an indoor workout or take up a hobby that engages you physically and mentally.

Do not introduce your children or other young people to drinking and avoid getting intoxicated in front of them.

How to Manage Drinking During the COVID-19 Outbreak

If you have problems with alcohol use, here are some ways to manage your drinking under the current circumstances.

Although it is a stressful situation, the pandemic also provides a unique opportunity to reduce drinking or quit altogether. Without pressure from social situations like parties, bars, and nightclubs, you can feel more in control over how much you drink and reduce your use.

While it’s important to put physical distance between you and others, it doesn’t mean that you have to socially isolate. Calls, texts, video chats, and messaging your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors can help you feel less lonely and likely to drink.

Try to avoid triggers, like music, movies, television shows, social media, or advertisements, that create a craving to drink.

To stay grounded and reduce anxiety, focus on things that you can actually control. Maintain as much of your daily routine as possible, including workouts, cooking, hobbies, and relaxation techniques.

Getting Treatment for Alcohol Addiction

Even in the time of a pandemic, remember: there is no bad day to start treatment. Whether you’re already in recovery or looking to begin or restart treatment, it is still possible to get treatment for alcohol addiction at this time.

If you are having problems with alcohol use, many addiction treatment programs have switched to a virtual care model. At Eleanor Health, our members can use our telehealth services to access medical professionals, therapists, peer groups, and medications over the internet from the comfort and safety of their homes.

Although COVID-19 has changed how we provide addiction treatment services, it has not changed our high level of care, commitment, and compassion to support you through every stage of your recovery journey.

Alcohol Awareness Month: How the COVID-19 Outbreak is Impacting Alcohol Consumption

    Originally posted on Eleanor Health

As people across the country continue to practice social distancing and follow stay-at-home orders during the COVID-19 outbreak, health authorities are raising awareness of another growing public health concern: increased high-risk drinking. These timely concerns come as sales of alcoholic beverages skyrocket following the stay-at-home orders, and also in recognition of Alcohol Awareness Month.

Importance of Alcohol Awareness During the COVID-19 Outbreak

Established in 1987, the purpose of Alcohol Awareness Month is to increase education related to alcohol addiction. While the negative effects of alcoholism have been well-established for decades, during this time of high stress related to the pandemic, some people may use alcohol as a “coping mechanism.”

In reality, excessive alcohol consumption can cause serious health problems and severe social consequences. With the pandemic disrupting normal life routines and leading to feelings of isolation, it can make it more likely for a pattern of excessive drinking to start or continue.

There have also been false social media posts regarding alcohol’s ability to kill the virus that causes COVID-19. There is no scientific evidence to support these claims and in fact, drinking alcohol is likely to increase health risks if a person is infected with the virus. Alcohol will not work as a disinfectant for your internal system or provide any protection from becoming infected.

Alcohol’s Impact on Health During the COVID-19 Outbreak

To minimize the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19, it is of the utmost importance to maintain good physical health. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to a variety of short and long-term health complications, including weakening the body’s immune system and ability to fight off infectious diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), heavy use of alcohol increases the risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which is one of the most severe complications associated with COVID-19.

In terms of mental health, some people believe that alcohol helps them to cope with stressful situations. In reality, “self-medicating” with alcohol is more likely to increase worries and negative thoughts during these challenging circumstances. Alcohol use can also worsen pre-existing mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and others.
