Interoception

Interoception is when your body tells you how it's feeling on the inside. Have you ever felt your stomach growling when you're hungry or noticed your heart racing when you're scared or excited? That's interoception! It's like your body has its own special messenger who sends messages to your brain to let it know how you're feeling.

Think of it like a superpower - your body can give you important information about how you're doing on the inside. This can help you understand when you need to take a break, eat some food, or go to bed. It can also help you be more aware of different emotions, like feeling happy, sad or angry.

Different people have different levels of interoception - some people are really good at sensing how their body is doing, while others might need a little more practice. But just like any other superpower, you can get better at interoception by practicing! Pay attention to how your body feels throughout the day, and notice any changes when you eat, sleep, exercise, or feel different emotions. With practice, you can become an interoception superhero!
