Hi, Tobias!
I read your post, and then I had to check the levels of conciousness article to remember what Steve said about that. I'll post the link here, because it took me a while to find it.

Honestly, I've never really understood the levels that well, especially all the ones below courage. It seems to me that they overlap. So, I can't give you any help on distinguishing there. I also think that with such broad labels like "fear" and "anger" giving yourself that label may make you more inclined to stay there. However, maybe that's because the levels confuse me. Someone will else will have to respond and straighten us out.
Steve also has another article that might be helpful. It's about taking each area of your life, assigning it a rating from 1 to 10, and then picking something to work on. You determine what actions would best bring you a 10. I find that it gives clear focus.
Cheers!
