Synonym For "Self Preservation"?

Hello!
Does anybody have a word for this? It's tricky to find.
The other word I was stuck on was a synonym for "Common Sense", which ended up being "Prudence" as best as I could find. As well, to be taking as much as one can without going too far was considered to be the word "Indulgence".
It was not so much "Ego", as that was more one's image of their self, either shared by others or exclusively held by them! It was not "Pride", as that is more just basking in your accomplishments. It wasn't "Recognition", as that is merely to identify with something ultimately as either true or false; to not linger in a hazy realm of thought about that given item of thought.
So, what word looks like it would be a synonym for "Self Preservation"? It is only a single word I am looking for, hopefully not too short or too difficult & long that ends up sounding like some other strange thing! Words like "Googleplex" would not be what I were looking for haha!
What are your thoughts?
