Emily has recently found herself overwhelmed with school work, social life, activities, and family. She has so much going on she has been very stressed. Emily is looking for ways to manage her stress and find peace in her life without sacrificing all that she has to do. 

Emily I know you have a lot on your plate, and I don't want you to be stressed and overwhelmed. Why don't you try journaling? 

Thanks mom. I just don't know if journaling is for me. What would I even write about? 

You can write about anything you want. Journaling is good for your mental health and will help relieve stress. 

How about this weekend we go to the store and you can pick out a journal and then we'll go from there!

I'd like that! I really appreciate it. Maybe I'll even start looking up ways to get into journaling.
