You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Emotional Intelligence Journal Practice.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: Emotional Vocabulary Expansion: For the next 7 days, at the end of each day, identify and name 3 emotions you felt — using the most precise word available. Not 'stressed' but 'apprehensive.' Not 'good' but 'quietly proud.'
- Step 2: Trigger Mapping: Each time you name a strong emotion this week, write its trigger — the exact thought, event, or interaction that produced it.
- Step 3: Pattern Recognition: At the end of 7 days, review your log. Identify recurring triggers and the emotional responses they produce. Note any patterns.
- Step 4: Response Design: For your most disruptive emotional pattern, design a pause-and-choose protocol — a 3-step sequence you will execute between the trigger and your response to interrupt the automatic reaction. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When you want to build genuine emotional intelligence through a structured journaling practice, not just conceptual understanding. ✅

PRO TIP

Emotional vocabulary is the foundation of EQ — you cannot regulate what you cannot name. The more precisely you can label what you feel, the more agency you have over your response.
