What does the Rebbe teach about overcoming worry and anxiety?
The Rebbe teaches that worry and anxiety often lack real existence and are primarily products of one's thoughts and reflections [2, 3]. He suggests that these feelings can be imaginary and advises checking Tefillin and Mezuzos as a practical step [3]. The Rebbe also indicates that excessive meditation on concerns can be counterproductive [5].
