Start a session by typing what’s happening right now, even if it’s messy or hard to explain. Lotus works best when you share a few concrete details—what triggered the feeling, what you’re thinking, and what you want to change (sleep better, calm down, make a decision, handle a conversation). From there, you can use the chat like a guided check-in: answer its questions, clarify what matters most, and track how your emotions shift as you talk.
When stress spikes, you can use Lotus for quick grounding. Describe the moment (where you are, what your body feels like, what’s racing through your mind) and follow the prompts to slow down, name the feeling, and pick one small next step. For ongoing patterns—worry loops, burnout, loneliness, or relationship friction—return to the same thread and summarize what happened since last time. This makes it easier to spot triggers, rehearse healthier responses, and plan what to do differently in the next situation.
It’s also useful for preparing difficult conversations. Paste a draft message, explain the goal, and iterate: adjust tone, set boundaries, or ask for what you need without escalating conflict. If you’re stuck between options, lay out the choices and constraints, then use the back-and-forth to weigh tradeoffs and commit to an action you can actually follow. The simplest workflow is consistent: describe the situation, identify the feeling, choose a realistic next move, and check back after you try it.
