1) Body Language:
55% of any message we give out is “unconscious” and we are constantly giving out these signals on a regular and daily basis and other people are “reading” our body language all the time. If you constantly walk around in a “slouched” position, head low and generally not paying much attention to your surroundings, what kind of signal do you think you’re sending out?
That’s right, “come and get me” I know that sounds harsh but is fact, if you’re walking down the street oblivious to everything apart from your mobile telephone or busy texting as you’re walking along you’re a target.
Try to be aware at all times, stand erect, walk straight, don’t necessarily look people straight in the eyes but let them know that you know that they are there.
Try not to take isolated shortcuts no matter how tempting across waste ground, dark alleys or parks and try to stay in public view.
PAY ATTENTION!
