When the lending position is only "three steps" away from the liquidation line, I usually stop looking at the K-line; the more I watch, the more anxious I get. First, lower the leverage near the red line: either add some collateral to bring the health score back to a level I can sleep peacefully with; or simply repay some of the debt, reducing both interest and heartbeat. The worst thing is to impulsively add to the position to "save the fire," only to end up getting myself liquidated.
There's also a small habit: try out all available on-chain entry points, cross-chain transfers, and deposits in advance, so you're not stuck at the bridge or in line when it really counts. Recently, the community has been arguing over privacy coins, coin mixing, and compliance boundaries. I can somewhat understand why people are tearing apart: some things seem insignificant in normal times, but when faced with risk control or restrictions, it suddenly impacts your "three-step" decision space. Anyway, I prefer to keep my positions simple and live with less noise.
