    "title": "A Thought, Not a Law",
    "notice": "Choose a recurring thought about an ordinary task. Write it once, as briefly as possible. Then place these words before it: ‘I am noticing the thought that….’",
    "functionPrompt": "When this thought appears, what action do you usually take or avoid? Is there a safe, value-aligned action you could choose without first proving the thought false?",
    "softenPrompt": "Complete: ‘I am noticing the thought that ___, and I can still choose what to do.’ If the wording feels artificial, try ‘That thought is here.’ Nothing needs to disappear.",
    "actPrompt": "Choose a two-minute action that matters to you and can coexist with the thought. Use an if-then: ‘If the thought shows up at ___, I will ___, or pause if that is what I need.’",
    "light": "You do not have to win an argument with a thought to choose your next step.",
    "caution": "A thought can describe a real problem. Do not use distancing to dismiss danger, discrimination, practical limits, or information that needs action.",
