This book won't make all your problems and worries disappear, but it will help you understand why you feel the way you feel and give you directions on how to manage your anxiety better. Some activities will feel fun and easy, and others will feel difficult and confronting. It's okay to have mixed feelings about this journal. You are safe here; all feelings are allowed. When negative feelings about your journey take over, don't try to push them down or make them go away. Instead, take some time to acknowledge your feelings. Cry or even scream if you must. If you need a break, take a day off, or two, but commit to coming back. It can be hard to step out of your comfort zone, especially when you have so many worrying thoughts in your head. However, I hope you can take a moment to recognise that simply starting the journal is a big step towards unleashing your dreams. You don't have to overcome anxiety alone. I encourage you to talk about your feelings to a trusted adult. Your trusted adult is a person who cares about you and gives you good advice. They can be a parent, grandparent, teacher, family friend, or coach. Sometimes it's easier to talk about feelings with a professional. If you need help or advice, you can call the Kids Helpline anytime on 1800 551 800. (page 3)
