Lily's Journey 2: A Tale of Bravery and Confidence [StoryTime]
Lily had become a brave and adventurous girl, always ready for new challenges. But lately, Lily had been feeling scared and anxious. She had been having nightmares about monsters under her bed and in her closet.
One day, Lily's parents took her to see a therapist. The therapist was kind and patient, and she taught Lily some new skills to help her feel more confident and in control. She taught her how to take deep breaths when she felt scared, and how to use positive self-talk to calm herself down.
Lily practiced these skills every day, and soon she felt like she could face any challenge that came her way. One night, as she was getting ready for bed, she heard a strange noise coming from her closet. She felt her heart racing and her hands shaking, but she remembered what the therapist had taught her. She took a deep breath and told herself that she was brave and strong.
Lily slowly walked over to her closet and opened the door. To her surprise, there were three big, scary monsters inside! They were growling and snarling, and Lily felt her fear coming back. But then she remembered her new skills. She took another deep breath and told herself that she could do this.
The monsters started to lunge at Lily, but she was ready for them. She used her karate skills to kick and punch the monsters, and they started to back away. Lily felt more and more confident with each punch and kick, and soon the monsters were retreating back into her closet.
Lily had defeated the monsters! She felt proud and powerful, knowing that she had used her new skills to overcome her fears. She climbed into bed feeling happy and content, and she fell asleep with a big smile on her face.
From that day on, Lily never had nightmares about monsters again. She knew that she was strong and brave, and that she could handle anything that came her way. She continued to practice her skills every day, and she always remembered the therapist who had helped her become the brave girl she was.
