Fear is the basis of defensive, reactive thinking. It makes you hesitate, it makes you incapable of committing to an action, it makes you freeze up. There is no internal debate, indecision, or worry about possible outcomes. You make things happen when they need to happen. The difference between offensive and defensive thinking is as simple to understand as action vs. reaction, cause vs. effect.
Defensive thought is concerned with reacting to actions that have already taken place.
They will take the same external stimuli and make decisions, which are executed as actions, to effect the source of the stimuli in the manner most appropriate and advantageous to the situation. We take people from fearful to fearless by using proactive linguistics to change thought patterns, and then anchor those thought patterns through physical action. The Power of Words Neural Offensive Linguistics TM is the use of proactive terminology to replace fearful, defensive terminology. If a word has a connection to a mental picture whose emotional content is fearful, then we must replace it with a fearless word in order to achieve an Offensive Mind-Set. For example, if a person has been told to block a punch thrown at their face, they are immediately dropped into a fear-state.
