G: good morning!
N: good morning, Gav! Did you sleep well last night?
G: I slept like a baby. I fell asleep right away last night, didn't wake up once, and didn't have nay nightmares!
N: that's great news! You look much more relaxed than you did yesterday.
G: I feel much better, but I'm still worried about something.
N: what's that?
G: well, I have to drive to school for a meeting this morning, and I'm going to end up getting stuck in rush-hour traffic.
N: that's annoying, but nothing to worry about.
G: for me, traffic jams are quite stressful, because I'm pretty impatient. How can I prevent myself from getting stressed if I get stuck in a traffic jam?
N: just btrathe deeply when you feel yourself getting upset.
G: Ok, I'll try that.
N: is there anything else bothering you?
G: just one more thing. A school called me this morning to see if I could teach a few classes this weekend and I don't know what to do.
N: do you have any other plans this weekend?
G: I'm supposed to work on a paper that'd due on Monday.
N: try not to take on more than you can handle.
G: you're right. I probably should just work on my paper. Thanks!
