Question

What are the different states of mind?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Four States of Mind. When you combine the types of focus (internal and external) with the ways we focus (helpful and harmful) you get four distinct states of mind: autopilot, critical, thinking, and engaged. We want to be in the helpful states.

Answer 2

Answer:

Autopilot, critical, thinking, and engaged are the four different states of mind.

Explanation:

• The thinking deals with solving problems and making decisions, correcting mistakes, ‘making sense of a situation’, and ‘reflecting on the past’.
• Autopilot is when you ‘stop thinking’ about a situation which responds in a pre-programmed ways.  
• Engaging is something that is focused externally in the immediate environment, and when you’re performing.

• The best state of mind is engaging and thinking.
