The People Performance Podcast - Brought to you by T2 The Power of Mindset: Exploring the 3 Psychological States
In this Leader Lounge episode, Martin discusses three psychological states: the neutral state, the challenge state, and the threat state.
The episode breaks down each of the three psychological states:
Neutral State: This is an "even-keel" state where you are busy doing nothing, avoiding pain, and seeking comfort. It's a restorative state for the brain, allowing it to enter the default mode network (DMN) for inward focus on things like reflection and future planning.
Challenge State: In this state, you seek pleasure and reward and are willing to endure some pain, challenge, and discomfort to build confidence and competence. This state involves a healthy release of adrenaline and cortisol, keeping you focused on what you control and want to achieve.
Threat State: This is a survival mechanism where extreme levels of adrenaline and cortisol flood the body and brain, creating a "fight or flight" response to a perceived threat. The speaker notes that while this was an evolutionary response to predators, in the modern world, it can be triggered by a constant stream of information and perceived dangers.
