State #1 is high energy usage, but often ineffective and rarely feels good. At it's best this is brainstorming, worst, thought loops.
State #2 is high energy usage but highly effective. Feels good but exhausting. This is how you get important deep work done.
State #3 is low energy. This is zen-state. Piercing eye contact but without force of #2. This should be your default state for peace.
