Are You An Observer Or Preserver?

Often when I hear the words “LOOK OUT”, I automatically get into defense mode. Harm is coming (I don’t know in what form), but right away my body tenses up, my mind goes into survival mode, and I’m ready to attack. I can think of one incident in particular, where “looking out” maybe didn’t end…
I think I’ve got my head in the sand.
