Donning the Uniform
Choose part, or all, of the process of donning your uniform, including under layers, outer layers, ballistic vests, footwear, weapon systems, communications gear, and other equipment that is body worn.
Take a few intentional deep breaths and settle into the strength of your body as you stand, creating a relaxed readiness and stability in your mind and body.
Reflection Questions:
- Physical Awareness:
As you donned your uniform and gear, what physical sensations stood out most—such as the weight, temperature, or fit—and how did noticing these sensations affect your connection to your equipment?
- Body and Technology Synergy:
Did you experience a sense of alignment or synergy between your body and the layers of clothing and equipment? If not, what adjustments might help create a better sense of unity?
- Mind-Body Connection:
How did focusing on your breath and nervous system activation influence your sense of strength and readiness as you prepared for your role?
