Original Advice

DO: Drink water and rest before tough talks.

Rinse the Sting Before Speaking

Your favorite trick is control dressed as clarity. When you're parched and running on fumes, your precision turns into a blade. You read hunger in others and bait it. You ration warmth to steer outcomes. You call it strategy; it is need. Drink water. Sleep. Let your body stop screaming so your mouth stops hunting. A tough talk is not an ambush. Flush the poison before you aim.

Dehydration and fatigue make scarcity feel holy. Your body shouts emergency, so you reach for levers. Water lowers the sirens. Rest returns options. You don't need tricks when your cells are fed. Clean blood, cleaner motives. Go into the conversation with circulation, not adrenaline. Let silence be space, not a snare. If they resist, you can still leave. That's power that doesn't scorch.

Cosmic Context
