“a special type of periodic motion, where the restoring force on the moving object is directly proportional to the object's displacement magnitude and acts towards the object's equilibrium position.”

Simple harmonic motion is defined as a periodic motion of a point along a straight line. It’s acceleration is always towards a fixed point in that line and is proportional to its distance from that point.
