Thank you Rabbi! I have been treated for Anxiety Disorder for over 20 years. Your explanation if the antidote for anxiety, made more sense to me than anything I have ever read or heard. I am a retired nurse, and worry about everyone and everything. Not any more, thanks to you.

I think people forget that g-d is in control. I always forget. I worry and need to be reminded. It’s easy to get distracted. Thank you for this message. A lot of people need to hear it.

Rabbi, i was born to an Irish mother and a Sicilian father and into the Catholic Church, but I watch your videos and listen to your lessons and what you say resonates with me so deeply, especially this one. I'm disabled due to a work accident and in constant pain for 13 years now. My condition is one of slow, gradual deterioration of the injured areas. People often say they're amazed at how well I'm handling it. To be honest, it's crossed my mind a few times too! But I know how and why, praise God, and I don't mind telling them. I started writing this to say that you, (for lack of a better and less cliché word,) "validate" my thoughts and understanding of life. It's obviously not "a Jewish thing" we share in common! So, I'm thinking it must be our connection to The Creator of the Universe! The Almighty God and the total trust we have in Him. Long ago I stopped trying to figure out His plan for the world and my life and started just being grateful for His blessings and grace. I decided watching my life unfold in His time, guiding me on the crazy path He had long ago drawn out for me and feeling safe against all harm as He guides my every step along the way was a much better way to live. Even the very painful steps, because each one has a purpose for HIM at that moment! And a purpose for me, for another time. The experience of life certainly changes once a person truly submits to trusting God! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and insights! Shalom aleichem!

This is such profound wisdom that risks putting all the shrinks out of business

"Trust in God" extremely grateful.

The tweet about this video just popped out ! While waiting in ER for anxiety Feeling down, sad , worried watching my racing heart rate . indeed G-d is with me . Thank G-d for you

Thank you Rabbi Friedman for your teaching. It's so awesome how a simple shift in thinking can profoundly change a person's experience.

The best ideas I have ever heard about stress. This is pure gold❤

This is one of the best messages I have ever heard in the past 10 years ! And it hit me right when I needed this the most

Baruk Hashem. Nothing comes close to liberating Hebrew wisdom. Thank you Rabbi.

I needed this tonight. Thank you Rabbi.

so wise and relevant. we should put our trust in our Creator, in our God

God bless you Rabbi.

I feel blessed to have come across these words of wisdom.

Amen! Beautifully said and so helpful. Moshiach now and very blessed to have you all and all you do. Thank you truly! :)

Rabbi - Your words ring absolute truth - we so often worry because it seems irresponsible if we don't and we have been programmed to think this way.

Barukh HaShem. Thank you Rabbi for your teaching and wisdom. I pray that many people can listen to this and not be anxious anymore because HaShem is in control and everything is going to be okay.

Good definition of stress , Rabbi 🌷 thank you

God bless, great words

I am grateful for the wisdom you share. The words and thoughts you pronounce to this world are comforting and of eternal truths. I have learned so much from you, Rabbi. Thank you seems inadequate, but from my heart, mind, and soul, thank you, my cherished teacher.

You are so right, Sir Thank you

It’s absolute truth. I realized that recently

Thank you

Truly Brilliant Maestro Friedman! ✌️ ...just what I needed to hear

Wow I needed this.

This video gives me such a peaceful sensation 😊😊😊❤❤❤

Thanks very much for giving up my needless anxieties,

Thank you Rabbi

Thank you for this valuable video

thank you for addressing such hard topic. there is a fine line between relaxing by letting it go & not caring. this balance is very hard to achieve. i think that struggle for better life, with real events, real battles and study of The Torah is the key of our growth. as usual, balance is the hardest. all day study or weeks without study are not healthy for our body and spirit.

great message

Exactly what I needed to heard today ! Thank you 🙏🏼

Am a Muslim but I really love you. May the almighty bless you and your generation 🙏 Ammin

👍👍 Thanks I needed that.

Thankyou for sharing your wisdom.

Very refreshing to hear this

FUNNY, I HAVE AN NA RECOVERY BUMPER STICKER THAT SAYS, "RELAX, GOD'S IN CHARGE" !

I love you Rabbi....great teaching..

God bless You Rabbi 💓

A great message! Thank you ❤️

Great teaching

PTSDs should watch your videos. 😇🤗

Thank you, Rabbi Manis. What about situations where the anxiety does make a difference though? For example worrying that staying up all night, not being able to sleep affects your baby’s health during pregnancy? Which it does. This was the situation i was living with in my 1st pregnancy and it was hell. Now I have those moments again and I fear that I may not be able to go forward with another pregnancy. And extending my family is my biggest dream.

I love this message..

This saved me

Very inspiring to me

We know that God is in control so why do we still worry I don't understand it I worry a lot and I know God is in control.

Worry causes me to pray and to give to God what I can not do myself. All things work together for good.

Hi Rabbi, thank you for your kind words. I have anxiety after menopause. I remember when l was my 20’s l do have a little anxiety. But l didn’t know what wrong with me. Then it’s stopped for 30 years. After 30 years l started to have anxiety till now l do have anxiety off and on. l don’t know what the reason?? I can feel it when the anxiety slowly creeping in. I just have to accept it. But l do take some natural herbs 🌿 to reduce my anxiety. It’s helpful. Lately l know that when lm worries l do have anxiety. But sometimes l don’t have any worries l do have anxiety. Yes lm a worrier person. Thinking to much. Conscious or not consciously l don’t what the real reason. I most happy person is to have peace in ourselves. I saw your message about The real story Adam and Eve. My tears 😭 just naturally come out. Many thanks to you Rabbi🌸🌸🌸

Agree Rabbi Manis .. trusting G-d's love casts out fear , and hearing His words builds trust . the root of stress is condemnation which leads to fear then to stress and which can cause physical/mental problems - answer is build trust ... peace+love>

Without faith it is impossible to please God . 🙏♥️ Blessings ... ...

Thanks you rabbi this was again another great video

"There are people who do everything right. They don't get the success they're hoping for. And there are people who do everything wrong and it works out fine" That sums up how I feel, as a person on the first half of that statement. It's frustrating 😅

Also, in the case of worry, there may be a legitimate reason for worrying for example not being properly prepared for what you're about to do, yet doing it anyway.

Loving your channel 😍 Thank you 💟

Sometimes worries are inevitable 😰

People who are compassionate - feel sympathy or are genuinely empathetic, sensitive - actually feel what others are feeling. Literally, they feel for them. It's as if their nervous systems extend out from their bodies. Fear, anxiety and stress often come from without and impose themselves on such people. Questions like "what difference does it make?" simply don't help anymore than telling someone to not scream "ouch" when they are hit on the head by a hammer.

My son is having anxiety after bullying at school- it's really difficult for him and us- how to explain and help him ?? For children is much difficult to deal with.. thank you Rabi...I hope it will give me ideas...

I have panic attacks every morning and I don't know why ? I write to HaShem and my guardian Angels to help me stop panicking .

It takes the attitude of, "It's the Nimrod's world, I'm just living in it... While hiding right in plain view doing my own thing..."

Replace the word "Stress" with "Anxiety" and anxiety with "god is in control"

❤❤❤❤

🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤

People today, have more anxiety because of the social media, people trust in social media and its killing this beautiful planet.

How about understanding physical pain and illness

My father says all the time: Is worrying going to change anything? No? Then why worry? I feel this is inhumane. It's just my reaction, like how the leg stretches' when the doctor hits it with his hammer. I now treat anxiety like something normal, a healthy reaction to a problem. It is INACTION that is the cause of our suffering. When you treat anxiety as a stimuli, a spark to ACT, it becomes a useful companion. Do not take this to the extreme. You're gonna do great.

Hi

Selah♥️

THE AMAZING JEWISH MYSTICISM Dear Rabbi Since when I read the Hebrew Bible, in 2016 at the age of 63, when I read about Avraham in which THE ETERNAL Decreed that all Nations will be blessed by him and, later, about Shelomon who loved women of all ethnicities I noticed that the destiny of YERUSHALAIM (Jerusalem) would be to welcome all the spiritual descendants of Avraham with no distinctions of ethnicity. As the proselytes I met in 2016 abhorred these observations of mine, I wrote together with the fragments of an article I wrote in honor of my grandfather Maurício Samuel and a late physics professor Abraham Moyses Cohen, in the Manaus Synagogue in particular to dear Rabbi David Benchimol these my OBSERVATIONS that are being verified today. What I think is EXTREME is the fact that many only understand the Professions when they happen making them more likely to tell the heretics that it was pure coincidence. My cordial Shalom

We are all travelers on a wavelength of light

Even rich people have problems, but, poor more so. We must not go back to certain old age ways, to do so is to go back in Time so to speak. Not after discoveries, trail and error, sacrifice, medications, medicines. Though, inspiring words can help and is appreciated.

do your best and then give it to ha shem

😊 ...the INFJ door slam 🌈🪶 Grace Victoria 🦋💕

I really like this Teacher. He's literally not like most Jews. ❤

Why not WORRY about very small EASY to fix things? DARE to CARE, but focus on simple things to fuss about? Otherwise, we are ALOOF, I think Every day I spend a few minutes walking to a nearby park to unwind, It seems to help me. Take the EASY button (from Staples) "That was easy" it says. Take it easy with WORRY?

What does hamesh mean?

Can't find the link

Depends on how much a person values life, young people have a greater desire, there are those whom have a death wish. Are we not told to fear? I'm 'not' indifferent to those that worry, to those that have adversity, to poor people.

Of course what you say is true “logically” but anxiety stems from subconscious fears not conscious rational fears. So when someone is anxious it is usually because something within them is triggered. Something more often than not they have no clue about. Today neuroscience has shown that as much as 95% of our actions are motivated by subconscious programs. Would you not agree?
