Somatic brain · Procedural Memory & Motor Habit
Proprioceptive Awareness
The sense of where your body is and how it is moving; posture and position feed back into felt state, which is why hunched, cramped or off-balance positions colour judgment.
An everyday example
Negotiating from a low chair with your knees above your hips, feeling smaller than the argument.
What it can cost you
Reading a bodily state produced by position as a state produced by the situation.
Warning signs
- My chair is lower than theirs.
- I feel physically cramped and mentally cornered.
One thing to do
Fix the body first: sit level, feet flat, shoulders open; then re-read the situation.
