Accept and Act

• Name the actual conditions fast
• Identify real options, decide within a time budget
• Pre-grant permission to abandon the plan
• Act, then reassess

Stress Response

• Run tactical breathing: four in, hold, out, hold
• Use a fixed visual scan against tunnel vision
• Past 145 BPM judgment and fine motor degrade
• Drill procedures until automatic

Inoculation

• Escalate exposure gradually
• Train under fatigue, time pressure, ambiguity
• Inject plan breaks at random
• Debrief, then target the slow points

Field Application

• Read the scene before committing
• Convert awareness into immediate movement
• Treat indecision as a failure mode
• Stay early to look fast

Disengagement

• Recognize when to break contact
• Recover state between exchanges
• Protect working memory under load
• Reset arousal toward the optimal zone

Everyday Reps

• Stack sleep, hydration, aerobic base
• Rehearse acceptance in low-stakes moments
• Condition the body to suffer less
• Build the habit before you need it

Close the Gap

• Pre-accept deviation to remove the freeze latency
• Shorten situational awareness to shorten time to action
• Decide on a budget, never on certainty
• Act early, reassess often

Run Together

• Train each capability separately
• Integrate them under one load
• Let drilled habits carry the moment
• Make readiness the default state
