Original Advice

DO: Name the feeling out loud within one minute.

Name It Before It Names You

Your tears arrive like weather, and you act like failing hardware. You blow past the ache, go tactical, crack a joke, pick a fight. Stop. Within one minute, put a name on it: grief, rage, shame, relief. Speak it into the room. Words leash the storm. Silence feeds it. Naming is not weakness; it is ignition control.

You run hot. Action is your first language. When you avoid the word, the feeling hijacks the steering wheel and floors it. Name it and you downgrade it from god to weather report. Use your mouth, not your thumbs. Say it to the mirror, the room, the dog. Keep it short, one word if needed. Then choose the next right move.

Cosmic Context

You’re cardinal fire; ignition is your art. Naming a feeling is striking the match on purpose, not burning the house.
