The reason we want everyone to be in the YELLOW state is that those that are in the WHITE state (unprepared and unready) tend to go straight to the BLACK state during a crisis where they panic and are paralyzed. If you are constantly in a YELLOW state of mind, then you are able to respond during a crisis and make quick, informed decisions, and respond appropriately to the crisis at hand. You will likely go from WHITE to BLACK if you don’t choose to go to YELLOW first. |
Never ignore doubts or intuitions. In some situations, stress can be a good thing. We need an appropriate amount of stress to motivate us on a daily basis. However, the freeze (BLACK on the color code) happens when our fight or flight system gets overloaded from an unhealthy amount of stress and are will not be able to respond appropriately. Talking and Breathing helps stop from going straight to the BLACK and keeps in in ORANGE/RED. Condition BLACK leaves us helpless to respond in any way. Sometimes this is a blessing in that we completely forget a traumatic event. But this should not be our default strategy.
