Here are some intentional habits to start with: ✨ Lock all doors and windows (garage access included... USE deadbolts, girlfriend) ✨ Home security systems are a great layer of added security to deter intruders: bonus if you have motion-sensor floodlights near points of entry ✨ Vary routines: don't park in the same spot, try to leave and come home at different times, even vary the pattern of lights you turn on and leave on in your home ✨ Don’t overshare online (and make sure if your kids are online they aren't either) ✨ Don’t answer the door, there's no reason you have to: use those convenience doorbell auto-responses on Ring doorbells + if you do happen to answer the door out of habit, don't panic, keep your answers brief and never imply you’re home alone ✨ Build relationships with neighbors: community eyes can be such a help, whether you left a garage door open accidentally and they text you to let you know or just the comfort of knowing they keeping tabs on anything suspicious happening in your neighborhood I could go on and on about this topic, but want to hear YOUR best tips for the community on personal safety and how to rest more easily when your sig other is on the road, drop em below + comment "safe" for my top product picks for personal and home safety!
