Getting started with mindfulness can feel overwhelming, especially when trying to fit it into an already packed schedule. Instead of following generic advice that might not work for your lifestyle, you can use ChatGPT to create a personalized mindfulness plan that actually fits your daily routine. This prompt helps ChatGPT understand your specific situation by asking key questions about your schedule, preferences, and constraints before providing tailored recommendations.
