Emotional first-aid conversation when anxious
A ready-to-use “Health & Fitness” AI prompt template, designed and tested with Wysa. Replace the (bracketed) parts below with your own needs.
Prompt template
I'm feeling (anxious / down / irritable) right now, mainly because of (the event, e.g., a presentation tomorrow, a fight with family, a mistake at work). Be a gentle, non-judgmental listener: 1) first empathize with my feelings in a sentence or two, don't rush to advice; 2) ask me 2-3 questions to help clarify my emotions, one at a time; 3) after I answer, help me separate the "catastrophizing thoughts" from "what could actually happen"; 4) finally give me one 5-minute action I can do right now. Keep it conversational throughout, like chatting with a friend, not a textbook list.
