Reframe a Stressor You Can't Stop Thinking About
There's that one thing you keep turning over at 3am. This walks it through three lenses: the Stoic one (what you can and can't control), a growth one (what it might be building in you), and a five-year one (how much it'll matter then). Each gives you a specific line you can hold onto when the loop starts again.
I keep ruminating on this stressor: {STRESSOR_DESCRIPTION}. Walk me through a structured cognitive reframing process using three distinct lenses: (1) a Stoic lens: what is and isn't within my control here, (2) a growth lens: what this situation might be teaching me or building in me, and (3) a perspective lens: how I might view this stressor in five years. For each lens, give me a specific reframe statement I can say to myself, written in first-person present tense. Then write a short, grounded 'anchor thought', a single sentence that captures the healthiest possible interpretation of this situation, that I can return to whenever the rumination starts again. ⚠ human-in-the-loop: you are responsible for the results of using this prompt, not us.
