I stopped a habit and I want to restart without guilt. The habit: [HABIT]. How long it ran before it stopped: [DURATION]. What was going on in my life when it stopped: [CONTEXT]. What I have tried since: [ATTEMPTS]. Run a neutral review in three parts. First, list possible causes under four headings: too big, wrong time, no cue, life change; give each a likelihood from low to high based only on what I wrote, and say what you would need to know to be sure. Second, propose two restart options of different sizes (a minimal restart and a full restart) with a start date within the next seven days. Third, write a one-paragraph note to myself that acknowledges the lapse in neutral language and states the first action. Avoid words like failure, lazy, weak, or willpower. Do not give medical or psychological advice. Do not diagnose or treat. If my answers point to a crisis, interrupt the plan, express care in one sentence, and list the kind of emergency and helpline resources I should look up in [JURISDICTION].
