Sorry, but I think Ishida's translation as "rule" is more spot-on in this context than your suggestion. "Commandment" is basically only used in religious contexts, and even if you ignore the religious context "my commandment" sounds as if you're commanding someone else, imho.

"My rule" is idiomatic. I think you could also use "my maxim" or "my imperative" instead.
