Self-Directed Physiological Control

Meaning

Self-Directed Physiological Control is the individual’s capacity to consciously initiate, monitor, and sustain behavioral adjustments that positively influence internal biological regulation, particularly endocrine homeostasis. This involves metacognitive awareness of bodily signals and the deliberate application of learned strategies to maintain equilibrium against internal or external perturbations. It moves beyond passive treatment compliance toward active self-regulation of physiological set points. Such control is key to long-term wellness resilience.
