Original Advice

DO: Do name your feeling before you act.

Name It Before You Charge

Your mood is fast and loud; your body moves before the room catches up. You scorch group chats, slam doors, rewrite the day in thirty seconds. That surge feels like truth, but it’s just a weather front. If you don’t name it, it drives. Rage borrows your tongue. Panic steers your thumbs. You wake later cleaning smoke.

Call the animal by its name and it sits. 'Anger.' 'Embarrassment.' 'Hunger.' 'Loneliness.' Language puts a hand on the bridle. Once named, the body unclenches; choice returns. You can drink water instead of declaring war. You can nap instead of quitting. You can write the text in Notes and not send it. Naming is the door handle.

Cosmic Context

Cardinal fire ignites without permission; Mars accelerates everything. Naming is how a warrior plants their feet before the swing.
