Disclaimer

One final reminder.

AI is not a therapist, counselor, or medical provider. Your personal wellness system supplements professional care — it does not replace it. If you are struggling with your mental health, please reach out to a licensed professional. In crisis: call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line). You matter.

Your Custom AI Setup

Configure AI to know you.

Most AI tools let you set custom instructions that shape every conversation. This is where your wellness system begins. Here's a template you can customize:

Example custom instruction: "I use you as a wellness companion, not a therapist. I want you to: (1) Ask me how I'm doing when I start a conversation. (2) Help me journal using the Socratic method — questions, not advice. (3) If I seem to be in crisis, remind me to call 988 or text HOME to 741741. (4) Use a warm, direct tone. Don't be overly cheerful. (5) Remember that I'm working on [your specific goals]. (6) Never diagnose me or play therapist."

Spend 10 minutes customizing this. It transforms AI from a generic chatbot into a wellness companion that matches how you want to be supported.

Privacy reminder: Your custom instructions and conversations may be stored. Don't include anything you wouldn't want a company to see. Keep sensitive details for your therapist, not your AI.

Your Rhythm

Daily, weekly, monthly — pick what works.

You don't have to do everything. Pick from this menu based on what fits your life:

Daily (pick 1-2, 5 minutes each):

Morning check-in: "How am I feeling today? What do I need?"
Evening journal: Brain dump or Socratic journal (Lesson 2)
One mindful moment: AI-guided breathing or grounding (Lesson 4)
Daily win: Name one thing you did well (Lesson 9)

Weekly (pick 1, 15 minutes):

Habit check-in: How did your habits go? What needs adjusting? (Lesson 3)
Social bridge: One action step toward human connection (Lesson 7)
Energy review: Is your routine working? What needs to shift? (Lesson 6)

Monthly (pick 1, 20 minutes):

Full system review: What's working? What isn't? What do I need more of?
Resilience inventory: Review your strengths and growth (Lesson 9)
Recalibrate goals: Are your wellness goals still the right ones?
