In this concise video, Tom Krieglstein explains that a person's "state" consists of three interrelated components: thoughts (what you’re thinking), emotions (what you’re feeling), and physiology (how your body is positioned or moving). He asserts that state directly determines outcomes—e.g., a slouched, leaning‑back posture tends to produce feelings of tiredness and boredom, while an upright, forward‑leaning posture promotes alertness and engagement. The key insight is that these components are interconnected, so altering just one—specifically physiology—can rapidly shift the other two. By physically moving or adjusting posture, you can quickly change your thoughts and emotions, providing a practical lever for managing fatigue, frustration, or annoyance.

Chapters

Did you know that your state is made up of three parts? They are your thoughts, what you're thinking, your emotions, what you're feeling, and your physiology, which is how your body is positioned or feeling at any given moment. These three parts make up your state. And why that matters. Because your state equals your outcome, meaning what you're thinking, how you're feeling, how your body's position will equal your outcome. So if you are slouched down, leaning back in your chair, your outcome is probably going to be one of tired, lethargic, bored. But if you're up, leaning forward, nodding your head, it's going to be more awake, aware, in tune to what's going on. And here is the secret. Because if you change one part of your state, you can change all three parts your state, because your state is interconnected. Now, which part of your state do you think is the easiest to change at any given moment? If you said your physiology, you'd be right. If you just physically move, you can change your thoughts and emotions much quicker.
