Emotional
Emotional Authority means your Solar Plexus is defined, so your truth isn't available "right now." Your feelings move in waves—highs, lows, and everything in between—and each point on the wave can make the same option look completely different.
Your decision-making isn't about finding a perfect mood; it's about waiting until the charge softens and a quieter clarity arrives. Over time, you learn the difference between emotional intensity ("this is amazing" / "this is terrible") and emotional truth ("this is correct for me").
- Notice the emotional charge: excitement, dread, urgency, or pressure to decide.
- Pause the commitment. Use a placeholder like: "I'll come back to you."
- Revisit the same decision across different points of the wave.
- Choose when it feels steady—less reactive, more clear, with no need to persuade yourself.
Give decisions time to "cool." The key is to wait through your wave and avoid choosing at emotional peaks or dips. For bigger commitments, check in more than once over time until you feel consistently clear.
Clarity often feels like neutrality: your body relaxes, urgency drops, and you don't need to talk yourself into the choice. If you feel pushed, spun up, or emotionally "hooked," it's usually too soon.
