Take your belongings with you when you’re leaving.
Bring implies movement towards someone or something.
Take implies movement away from someone or something.
Even after the usage rule, I couldn't reason why 'take' is right choice in the above sentence. Some explanation would help me.
with thanks.

If the person addressed is leaving, then they are moving away from somewhere.

The answer is in your definition:
Take implies movement away from someone or something. Since you are "leaving", you are moving away from this location. Therefore, you need to take your belongings with you.
