And now for an introduction into survival training with Survival Wisdom
Why should I try survival training?
The point of survival training is not simply to equip people with skills they
may need in a life or death situation, though there are obvious benefits to
acquiring such skills, but to increase people’s ability to adapt and cope with
a range of situations throughout their lives.
Survival psychology requires people to hone their thinking skills, control
feelings of panic, and focus solely on the issues that they have the capacity
to do something about.
Some of the benefits
Being in green space can improve mood and result in a decrease in blood
pressure and muscle tension. *
Physical activity can offer benefits to those receiving cancer treatments
and can reduce the likelihood of breast and bowel cancer reoccurring. **
Exercising outdoors in natural and green spaces more beneficial to health
and wellbeing than indoor exercise. ***
