Original Advice

DO: Name your feeling out loud before reacting.

Name The Wave, Then Act

Your mood is not sacred weather; it is a switch you flip. You call it mystery to dodge accountability. Stop. Say its name before it drags you. Angry. Jealous. Tired. Hungry. Homesick. Bored. Lustful. Lonely. The word is a leash. The moment you speak it, the wave finds an edge. Without a name, you flood the room and blame the tide.

Names are nets. They catch impulses before they harden into decisions. You don’t need perfection; you need a label. It shrinks the monster to pocket size. It turns claws into cutlery. Once the creature is tagged, you can feed it, walk it, or put it to bed. Saying it out loud steers the body. Silence lets the body steer you.

Cosmic Context

You are moon-ruled; your tides answer to names. Give the feeling a shell and carry it instead of drowning in it.
