Train interoceptive accuracy through body-scanning practices

Train interoceptive accuracy through body-scanning practices that correlate physical sensations with decision outcomes, calibrating which somatic signals are reliable in which contexts.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Emotions manifest as physiological changes in the body… (somatic markers occur before conscious emotional experience) and Emotions function as evaluative signals that provide… (emotions function as evaluative signals).

The principle prescribes the four-step protocol: baseline body scanning, tagging decision moments, retrospective correlation, triangulation.
