There are many factors of either prevailing or perishing in a crisis, some of which are in our control and others that are not. One of the most powerful factors that are 100% in our control is the survival mindset. For instance, survival mindset is mental stability under pressure, handling situations with strength and intelligence and making good, tactical decisions. In addition, when properly trained, our brain can adapt to almost any circumstance. The appropriate mindset can be the difference between a survivor and a victim, and even life and death. Survival mindset wires rational thought while our emotions are being flooded with fear, stress, anger, and frustration. However, when a crisis happens without warning or when we are faced with a horrific situation, some people will crack under the pressure. Others will remain calm. Survival mindset feeds an unbreakable faith that the situation is survivable, and triggers the brain to take charge.

Survival Mindset vs. Victim Mentality

The opposite of the survival mindset is victim mentality (“Why is this happening to me?). This is often the initial reaction to a traumatic event. The danger of this mindset is that if sustained, it leads away from survival. Therefore the person becomes paralyzed by fear and cannot react in a way that will help them towards safety. As with any skill, survival mindset needs to be developed over time. Here are six ways to become mentally prepared for the emotional and psychological stress encountered in a crisis:

1. Practice Situational Awareness – know your surroundings

2. Take Responsibility – you are in charge of your situation

3. Believe in Yourself – channel an unbreakable faith

4. Be Decisive – commit to action

6. Be Resilient – refuse to give up

We are capable of extraordinary strength and physical feats to protect ourselves, loved ones and even strangers when we are in a crisis. There are countless stories of unprepared people who survive incredible odds. Why? Above all, some people simply refuse to give up. A mom who lifts a car to save a child underneath? That’s real! Untrained people, who have survived being lost in the wilderness for weeks? It has happened! There is no doubt that panic, chaos, and fear occurs in these situations. However, people with survivor mindset make use of the fear—not ruled by it. They use the fear to FOCUS on survival. Survival mindset and situational awareness can save your life and the lives of those around you in a crisis. Flex those brain muscles often to empower yourself to be prepared for any situation. In conclusion, your mind can be your biggest asset or your biggest liability…YOU decide!

Description

A living world full of surprises, secrets and danger awaits in The Survivalists, an adventure-filled survival sandbox set in The Escapists universe. Explore, build, craft and even train monkeys with up to three friends in a desperate bid to survive. Your newfound home will change with day/night cycles as you explore and uncover its secrets. Hunt (or be hunted by!) animals for food and an array of mythical enemies, who aren’t necessarily pleased to see you. Get quests from a Mysterious Stranger or find them washed up on the shore. Prepare to trek into a procedurally generated wilderness, with a variety of biomes, for an adventure that’s unique to every player. Complete joint adventures, gain loot, trade and ultimately survive together and as you and up to three fellow castaways explore fantastical island. If you’re in need of a builder, a lumberjack or even a soldier, the monkeys on the island can be tamed and trained to help you with everyday tasks or back you up on raids to a fanatic camp! The Mimic System means a wide variety of functions can be performed by your cheeky new friends, with monkey management becoming key to surviving the island’s challenges.
