White: inattentive/distracted
example- helping a child; listening to an ipod; texting; on the phone; relaxing at home.
Yellow: functionally alert
example- focusing on your car as you walk through the parking lot.
Orange: attentively alert
glancing around you and at the vehicles parked next to your car in the parking lot.
Red: high alert
example: noticing the vehicle following you and driving to a well lit and populated area. Active duty military personnel.
Your level of awareness should be somewhere between yellow and orange. Red is too exhausting to remain in all the time. The more you practice being surprised the sharper your senses become.
