You need to sort out your relationships with authoritarian parents or parent figures and forgive them genuinely. Also work out your unfavorable response to authority in general. It might have been too painful to take other’s control over you as a child. If you can disassociate pain and unpleasantness with the control / dominance factor, your professional life will become easier.

Step 1 : Remember your boss has no control or dominance over your response towards him/her. Exercise your freedom of choosing your response.

Step 2 : Review your childhood dominance in a new light. You may have allowed this dominance in order to avoid taking responsibilities at that point of time. The more responsibility you take, the lesser you invite dominance or control from others.

Step 3 : Look at the possibility of living in harmony and operating out of team spirit in your environment.

(Work with this affirmation for 21 days) before you move to step 3)

I manifest harmony in my environment. I manifest wonderful team spirit.
