No one brain state is superior to all others. For example, creativity actually requires relaxation, not stimulation.

I never thought about it this way. This is something new. Simple but I needed that extra reassurance haha

I like how you said even thinking about doing something may light up the same neurons that light up when we actually do that thing. This applies to working out as well. Say, when you're curling, instead of just doing it, there's studies that have shown that thinking about the muscle that is working can actually make that muscle grow faster/better!
