Demotivation Buster: Micro-Action Guide Prompt

I built Demotivation Buster: Micro-Action Guide. It's a prompt template designed to help people who are feeling demotivated by past failures.

The template guides an AI coach through a process. First, it acknowledges the user's past efforts and the challenges they faced. Then, it helps reframe those challenges not as definitive failures, but as learning experiences. The core function is to define a single, tiny, achievable first step. The goal is to shift the user's focus from the overwhelming outcome they might be dreading, to the manageable process of taking one small action.

This is for anyone who finds themselves stuck after a setback, feeling like past failures are blocking progress. It's about breaking the inertia with a concrete, minimal step, rather than trying to tackle the whole problem at once.
