I am not the same person at work as at home, with or without people. I feel different at night then day, my skills and energy levels have their own prime hours.

Just sitting down or putting on some music can already greatly affect my conscious state.

All of your environment is context for your mind, in some ways you are your environment, at the very least you reflect it.

It’s all set and setting.

I have not read the article btw

This kind of reads like meditation, these words somehow have a calming effect. Like a call to be conscious and just take in the current moment and the surrounding vibes.

Also, I'm kind of high right now, so maybe it's just that, but thanks for your insights!

I have even given it my own name, the conscious shift

Describing the contant momentum and flow of our state of mind.

Meditation is quite useful to observe this yourself.

My theory is that you develop the first state within the comfort of the womb, it is contrasted with the suffering of your first shift your birth , your early existence is you in confusion trying to shift back to that first comfort, you can’t but end up finding something similar in your mothers lap.

As you age the shifts form patterns: sleep itself, the groggy feeling after waking up, you washing down that feeling it with caffeine. You try to stay focused at work, then you try and relax as you come home. We are always trying to travel to the comfort states we know.

Learn the patterns and you control your life.

This is also how drug addiction form btw (in my subjective observation) when the patterns off the conscious shift are so that its the only state where you are comfortable.
