	Risk Thermostat
	We each have not only a certain tolerance for risk, but a true need for it! Risk analysts call this our “Risk Thermostat.” It’s a fact that we each adjust our behaviors to keep our exposure to risk at the level we need. In other words, if routine makes the risks present in our activities invisible, we will inevitably start taking additional risks. The simple truth is: the more risks taken, the greater chance of an "accident" occurring to the risk taker. Take a look at a classic risk for all people: heart attacks. Nothing motivates the majority of people to start fitness programs on their own quite like a family member or friend falling victim to a heart attack or some other potentially preventable medical condition. In fact, the most fanatic exercisers are often heart attack survivors for whom the risk has taken shape into an "accident" in their lives and they become truly motivated. The same cure tends to work for complacency and improperly set “Risk Thermostats.” The problem with that type of motivation is that you risk injury and death in the real world waiting for something to motivate you to improve your skills, IE: "adjust" your “Risk Thermostat.” The better choice is to train for the “Risk Thermostat” using a multi-prong approach. The Survive Institute’s team, with over 100 years combined experience in natural, criminal & accident disaster prevention and defense, uses empirical data along with other assessment tools to make training personal, powerful and effective in eliminating complacency and learning how to handle the risks present in the real world.
