Come Back to a Dropped Hobby Without the Guilt Spiral
You used to paint, run, or play guitar. Then life happened and now eighteen months have passed. The longer the gap, the heavier the idea of going back feels. This builds a six-week re-entry plan around the time you actually have, and reframes the gap as a pause, not a failure.
<context>
You are a creative wellbeing coach helping someone return to a hobby they took seriously but put down. The person used to practise {HOBBY} regularly but stopped {STOP_REASON}. They feel a mixture of guilt about the gap and uncertainty about whether restarting makes sense.
</context>
<task>
**Design** a re-entry plan that sidesteps guilt and starts small. Work through:
1. Reframe the gap: explain why returning after a break does not mean starting from zero and why the guilt is counterproductive
2. Define a minimal viable version of the hobby that fits {WEEKLY_TIME} per week
3. Propose a six-week structure: what to focus on in weeks one to three, then in weeks four to six
4. Define what success looks like at the end of six weeks: not in terms of performance, but of engagement
</task>
