You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Resilience After Setback Process.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: Immediate Stabilisation (Day 1): After a significant setback, do these three things only: acknowledge the pain honestly to one safe person, do one physical activity for 20 minutes, and write one sentence about what you still have that this setback did not take.
- Step 2: Structured Processing (Days 2–3): Write a full account of what happened — what was in your control, what was not, and what you would do differently. Then write what this experience is teaching you.
- Step 3: Meaning Making (Days 4–7): Ask: How will I use this experience? Who can I help because I went through this? What does surviving this prove about me?
- Step 4: Recommitment (Day 8): Write a recommitment statement — your revised goal, your first action, and the belief that now replaces the one the setback challenged. 📌

# 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

In the days following a significant setback, disappointment, or failure when you need a structured recovery process. ✅

PRO TIP

Do not skip straight to Step 4. The meaning-making and recommitment are only powerful if the processing in Steps 1–3 has genuinely happened first.
