making decisions based on how you feel about something

How to make good decisions with emotional authority

It’s certainly not about what someone else tells you to do. No one has authority over you other than yourself.

Your human design authority is here to support you in making decisions – like an inner GPS that is unique to you. Decisions can be anything from what to have for breakfast to what job to accept and who to be in a relationship with. 

Despite what we have been taught, we are intended to make decisions by listening to our bodies instead of our heads. Your human design authority tells you exactly where in your body to tune into so you can make the best decisions for you.

Bottom line: Your decisions are an embodied experience. They are not “logical” because logic lives only in your mind.


If you have emotional authority, the way you make decisions is impacted by how you feel about things.

Spontaneous decisions are not for you as you need time to tune into your emotional state. There is no clarity for you in the present moment (this applies to decisions bigger than what you want to have for lunch!). Be ok with buying yourself the time you need to leverage the intelligence of your emotions. Trust that the best decisions come when you feel ready to make them. The right opportunities will always be there for you once you have gained internal clarity. Give yourself at least 24 hrs before making major decisions. 


As a generator or manifesting generator with emotional authority, you still need to consult the response of your sacral centre. This is the energy centre that runs the show for you. The best time for you to make decisions is when you are feeling a sense of internal calm rather than riding the high or low of an emotional wave. Your decision making process is waiting until you are in a neutral emotional state before tuning into and following your gut feeling (i.e. your sacral response).

As a manifestor or projector with emotional authority, you are designed to make decisions by tuning into how you feel about something. You do not necessarily have to wait until you reach a state of internal calm to make a decision. Your best decisions come when you wait until you can tune into whether something gives you good feelings or not. Your embodied decision making process is activated when something about a potential decision makes you smile, feel happy or generally gives you a good and uplifting feeling. This is especially true if that feeling is consistent throughout your emotional wave. You may need to give yourself extra time to gain clarity to make sure that you enter into big, life-changing decisions correctly.
