Prompt Template

Generate journaling prompts for me based on:

What I want to explore: {{focus}}
Current life situation: {{situation}}
Journaling style: {{style: reflective/gratitude/goal-focused/emotional processing/creative}}

Create:
1. {{count: 10}} journaling prompts with varying depth
2. Mix of:
   - Quick prompts (5-minute journaling)
   - Deep prompts (15-30 minute exploration)
   - Perspective-shift prompts
   - Future-focused prompts
   - Past-reflection prompts
3. For each prompt, a follow-up question to go deeper
4. A weekly journaling template using these themes

Make prompts specific enough to spark writing but open enough for exploration.
