Example Input
I want to start a side business selling handmade ceramics online, but I keep putting it off. I just can't seem to get started — every time I sit down to work on it, I find something else to do instead. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what to do about it?
Example Output
Let's break down the obstacle: your brain is trying to protect you from disappointment by avoiding the possibility of making something that isn't good enough. To overcome this, we'll shrink the goal and separate the act of making from the act of judging. Start with small actions like opening your clay storage and placing clay on your work surface. Set a timer and make one pinch pot before doing anything else. Post progress photos to stay accountable. Remember, the first ten pieces are tuition — focus on learning and creating, not perfection.
