Make the decision that you’ll still respect when you’re calmer. That’s a strategy you can trust.

Heat makes certain choices feel obvious. Quit, send it, walk out, say the thing. The version of you who is fed and rested has to live with every one of them, so using that calmer person as the judge filters out nearly everything you would regret. It does not make you a pushover, because some angry decisions survive the test and those are worth acting on.

Before you do something with force behind it, picture explaining it on a quiet Sunday afternoon. If calm you nods, go. If calm you winces, wait a day.
