What is the negative loop about?

What is the core thought or belief?

This is the prompt Claude will receive

I'm stuck in a negative loop about [TOPIC]. The core thought is [CORE_THOUGHT] and I know it's not totally rational but I can't shake it. It usually gets triggered by [TRIGGER]. What I want to feel instead is [DESIRED_STATE]. Help me understand what's driving this, challenge the thought gently, and give me 3 practical things to do right now.
