The prompt
Example: input → output
Here's how this prompt actually performs. Real input below, real output from Claude Opus 4.
<previous-attempts>Tried Headspace for 2 weeks last year; stopped</previous-attempts> <preferred-time>Morning before work</preferred-time> <specific-goal>Reduce morning anxiety</specific-goal>
Week-by-Week 30-Day Plan
Week 1: 5 min daily. Just 5. Same time morning.
Week 2: 7 min daily. Same structure.
Week 3: 10 min daily. The target.
Week 4: 10 min daily, with 1 day of 15 min if comfortable.
Session Structure (same every day)
1. Sit upright on cushion, chair, or bed. Feet flat.
2. Set timer.
3. Eyes closed or soft gaze.
4. Notice breath — nostrils, chest rise-fall. Don't control.
5. Mind wanders (it will, repeatedly). Notice. Return to breath.
6. Timer ends. Open eyes. Sit a moment. Continue day.
Common Obstacles + Response
'I can't stop thinking': Stopping thoughts isn't the goal. Noticing them + returning IS the practice.
'I fell asleep': Sit more upright. Or earlier time before sleep-debt.
'Boring': It is, especially early. That's part of the work — tolerance for present moment.
'Missed a day': Resume next day. Don't try to 'make up.'
Week 2 drop-off: common. Push through. Week 3-4 often turns.
