Well you should avoid clicking links in emails and consider disabling links/images in emails too so you get text only and not html emails to your domain registrant/admin emails.
However, that's also another reason why you should consider TFA (Two Factor Authentication). The idea of TFA is to incorporate (a) something you know ie a password with (b) something you have ie a mobile phone or token or something else. Therefore someone with your username and password alone is not going to get into your account.
It's a standard feature at Namecheap (free of charge) but they also have a lot of other security features that would defeat phishing and other similar kinds of malady. For example, you are able to disable the "Forgot Password" options which means that if someone gains access to your email they also will not be able to send the login details to your email address.
