<p>In this letter, the Rebbe advises a woman struggling with anxiety to try "Hesech Daas"—putting unpleasant thoughts out of her mind, and distracting herself with other thoughts and activities. In the class, we trace this strategy back to a letter from the Tzemach Tzedek and discuss how distraction can help with Teshuva, defend us from Ayin Hara, and bring Moshiach. <strong>Iggros Volume 28 Pg 131</strong></p>
