Reframe a Setback as Information Instead of a Verdict

Something went wrong and your brain has already turned it into proof you are rubbish at this. This separates what actually happened from the story you are telling about it, offers a fairer version of events, and gives you one small next step instead of a spiral.

Take this recent setback and help reframe it: {INPUT} = [describe what happened, in a sentence or two].

Explain, in plain and kind language, the difference between treating this as proof of something permanent about you versus treating it as one data point about one situation at one moment. Suggest one specific, more accurate way to describe what happened, and one small next action that follows from the more accurate version rather than from the harsher one.
