The Paradox of Being Aware that You Are Not Aware.
Keen attentiveness to your immediate surroundings is the single most important factor to your survival. You may not know it, but your alertness, power of observation, memory, and ability to process opportunities and threats has already saved your life, the lives of your family, and your team dozens of times over the years.
You may call it intuition, your gut feeling, or a sixth sense, but it is not instinct; it is learned skill you need to thrive in crisis and every other demanding life circumstances. It’s known as Situational Awareness and it is far more vital for day-to-day success and extreme crisis mitigation than any other tactical drill, piece of gear, or form of weaponry that you may have mastered.
Even at your present level of aptitude, Situational Awareness can occasionally give you an almost clairvoyant ability to avoid jeopardy. How can you improve those odds? How can you develop your Situational Awareness skills? How can you make it more dependable and consistent? How can you avoid threats, detect opportunities, and make decisions based on facts and information that no one else is aware of?
Just like any other skill, Situational Awareness must be instructed, trained, drilled, and evaluated in order to develop it, sharpen it, and maintain its edge. Outside of special military or traditional martial training, there has been no systematic, reliable, and safe method for teaching and honing this critical skill, until now.
Now, there is the KIMinder360 Mobile App.
To the US Special Forces, Situational Awareness is taught using “Keep In Mind” (KIM) drills. Soldiers are prompted to take note of aspects of their current situation to be randomly quizzed later on. Essentially you must be made aware that you are not aware. This makes self-training Situational Awareness impossible. Without a battle-hardened cadre following you around all day and night, KIM training is just doesn’t work. Until now.
The KIMinder360 app will send a curated Directive to you at a random time within your customizable active window, frequency, and category parameters. Each Directive gives you a task to perform; sometimes mental, sometimes physical. It may remind you to notice a crucial resource of your surroundings. It may ask you to identify an escape route. Or, it may get you to do a few push-ups. There are hundreds of other micro-missions to keep you alert on many levels. Each task is selected from more than a dozen categories that you can choose from. The point is to break you out of your oblivious torpor and activate your natural senses to collect information from the world around you.
KIMinder360 should expand your Situational Awareness within days of starting the program, making you, your family, and your team safer, better prepared, and more fully ready to seize crucial opportunities and deal with threats as they arise.
The app is currently in alpha test phase for Android devices. Coming soon to iOS!
