Are you a person who feels moody often? Does your mood impact your interactions with people in your immediate environment?
Then you should take a closer look at your behavioral patterns to understand your ability to make better decisions by not relying on your moods but on your individual authority.
In this article, let's focus on the different types of authority based on your human design chart and simple tips to follow to make better decisions without falling prey to your changing moods.
There are 7 human design authorities.
Emotional Authority
Sacral Authority
Splenic Authority
Self-Projected Authority
Ego Authority
Environmental Authority
Lunar Authority
Based on these authority types, you can understand how to control your mood swings and make the right decisions in your life. Let's focus on one by one.
Easy Tip to Steady Your Mood with Emotional Authority
Emotional Authority: With this authority in your chart, you will have your “solar plexus center" defined or colored, which gives you the power to make decisions based on your calm emotions. Riding the emotional waves is the advice for them, and taking a pause to release the emotional pressure to decide with clarity. Your highs will be high, and the lows will be low. You might take impulsive decisions when you are at your peak emotional point but later regret them when you feel low. So, make decisions only when you are calm, collected, and neutral.
If you are looking for a quick way to shift your mood swings when you are feeling high or low, try this method.
Name What You Feel:
If you want to alter your mood swings with an emotional authority or you are a person who feels too much when you are mad or upset, follow these steps:
Reduce your emotional intensity by ‘labeling’ the feelings based on what you are feeling, like anxiety, worry, fear, or depression.
Keep a journal or note the exact emotion or mood you are feeling by stating, "I feel lonely," “I don't feel right," or “I can feel frustration with that person."
This will help in regulating your emotional centers in a better way to make the right decisions by filtering out your moods.
Easy Tip to Steady Your Mood with Sacral Authority
Sacral Authority: This is most common in generators where their “sacral center" will be defined or colored. The sacral center will give yes or no signals, and responding to them as sacral beings will help make better decisions. The sacral response will determine your emotions and mood swings too. You will know what is right or wrong, and setting boundaries will help in interacting with others in a healthy way. If you feel excited, it's a yes, and if there is hesitation, it's a no.
Act on Values, Not Impulses:
As a generator with a defined sacral authority, trying this simple tip will balance your mood swings in a better way.
Take a pause to notice a change in your mood after your first reaction. If you get angry or irritated and you react quickly, it's your mood that needs tweaking, not your reactions.
Keep repeating this method where you learn to act from your values and not impulses that you get from your sacral center. It will always be a quick response, but change it into a healthy reaction.
As you take the time to process your sacral responses, the regulatory pathway in your brain strengthens and helps you act with good intentions every time. Your moods will no longer affect your responses to people.
Easy Tip to Steady Your Mood with Splenic Authority
Splenic Authority: With this authority, you will have a defined “spleen center," and it is common among manifestors and projectors. You have to follow your intuition to make decisions. But you have to discern fear from intuition to make spontaneous decisions, because sometimes your impulses may get the best of you. If you are in doubt, have questions, or second-guess yourself, take a step back to make better decisions.
Check the Restorative Basics:
If you are a person who confuses fear with intuition or vice versa or are unable to take control of your impulsiveness and come to conclusions on why your mood affected your decisions, try these steps.
Regulate your mood swings by eating right and nourishing your body with all the vital nutrients and minerals to avoid unnecessary mood swings.
Sleep plays a big role in monitoring your brain and nervous activities, so follow a regular sleep routine with deep REM sleep to avoid becoming overwhelmed or cranky without proper sleep.
Hydration can also help you avoid impulsiveness, anger, and moodiness, which can help you discern intuition from fear.
Easy Tip to Steady Your Mood with Self-Projected Authority
Self-Projected Authority: The self-projected projector has this authority with a defined identity center in their human design chart. The G-center, or the identity center, will be connected to the throat center, where you need to speak out loud to make the right decisions. If you have mood swings, confusion, or mind blocks, create a safe space to talk with the right people or even use audio journaling to process your thoughts and emotions.
Anchor in the Present:
With the self-projected authority or need for the space to speak your thoughts and emotions, following these steps can help you regulate your mood.
Grounding techniques will help in changing your moods instantly.
Touch a wooden object, walk on grass barefoot, or lie on the floor to anchor yourself to the present.
When you are grounded and emotionally good, the decisions will always be right. Talk it out by sitting on the ground or face-to-face with a person.
Easy Tip to Steady Your Mood with Ego Authority
Ego Authority: This authority is common among projectors, and you have a defined heart or ego center that’s connected to the G-center, or the identity center. The heart center is one of the motor centers that gives the drive and willpower to either do something or not. If you feel overwhelmed, take a rest and procrastinate making hasty decisions. If your heart truly feels connected, then make that decision.
Create a Pause Before Reacting:
If you are a person with ego authority, your impulses will get a hold of you when making important decisions in your life, so you must follow these tips.
Get out in nature, breathe in, breathe out, or drink a sip of water when your ego gets hurt or inflated because of a person or a situation.
Take a pause before reacting to situations because you say things out loud based on your ego and not on logic or emotion.
You must understand whether it's ego or a genuine reaction first to get your moods right and decide in the best manner.
Easy Tip to Steady Your Mood with Mental Authority
Environmental Authority: This authority is common among mental projectors, who must be aware of their environment to check their mood swings and also make better decisions. Some might have only the head and Ajna defined, while others can get these two centers defined and connected with the throat center. When you feel overwhelmed or anxious making a decision in a particular environment, move or change the place to get your thoughts right. Also, don't stay with people or in an environment that's messy, confusing, or exhausting to your mental health.
Move to Shift Neurochemistry:
Since mental projectors are too much influenced by the thoughts and people in their immediate environment, take a look at these things to make the best decisions.
If you feel moody, irritated, or angry in a particular setup, change the environment.
Go for a walk, visit a cafe to grab a coffee, stretch, or be outside for a few minutes to change the neurochemistry in your brain.
Move quickly from that spot, people, or issue to think in a good way instead of making cloudy judgments and confusing yourself too much.
Easy Tip to Steady Your Mood with Lunar Authority
Lunar Authority: Reflectors have this lunar authority where they need to use the 28-day lunar cycle to make the right decisions in their lives. The moods can also escalate based on the new moon to the full moon cycle. Journaling and tracking their moods through the entire 28-day period will help regulate their emotions and thoughts better to make perfect decisions. For long-term decisions, wait and go through the whole process, and for immediate decisions, trust your emotions and be flexible to change if something doesn't feel right.
Track Patterns:
If you are a reflector, you must track your emotions, feelings, thoughts, and experiences every day to make better decisions and keep your mood light. You can do these simple things.
Keep a day and night journal. Write your daily experiences, moods, issues, and tasks in the day journal while you write about your reflections and thought patterns in the night journal.
When you read those patterns as you trace back to the entire day, week, or month, you can find it easier to make better decisions every lunar cycle.
Tracing the mood swings based on your situations, people, and self-limiting beliefs can replace shame with insights.
Conclusion
If you are often regretful, ashamed, or frustrated with the way you react, interact, or make decisions based on your moods, you should learn to rely more on your human design authority. This can help you understand your true self, regulate your moods and emotions, and give you a better mindset to make good decisions in your life.
