Vitality: the experience of energy available to the self

Vitality: the experience of energy available to the self that can be directed, sustained, and recovered from, specifically generated through autonomous self-regulation rather than controlled self-regulation

Why This Is a Definition

This definition precisely establishes 'vitality' as a distinct concept from mere arousal or activation, specifying its key characteristics (available to self, direction, sustainability, recoverability) and the mechanism that generates it (autonomous self-regulation). It contrasts with the drain produced by controlled regulation and provides a precise semantic boundary around the term.
