Compost Pile - Auto-Regulation

2022 Recon Challenge

Auto-regulation is a tool that helps you become more aware of your surroundings both internally and externally. It's important to approach auto-regulation with a sense of individuality, as it requires a feeling of awareness unique to each person. To help you get a sense of how you're feeling before or after a training session, ask yourself these questions:

- Are you excited to train today or feel burned out?

- Do you feel any tightness or soreness in your body?

- Did you meet your performance goals yesterday?

- Are you feeling happy, hungry, and energized?

Auto-regulation helps your mind and body communicate effectively, finding a balance to avoid added stress during tasks or activities. It's important to recognize that everyone experiences the world differently and has unique lifestyles. While auto-regulation can be used to determine energy and exertion output during exercise or tasks, it's not a numerical scale. It's a skill set that's valuable not only in training programs but in everyday life.
