# 2nd Week October 27th Learn to reduce and manage anxiety

## 2nd Week - October 27th - Learn to reduce and manage anxiety
Repeat from last week:
- The normal Understanding of anxiety
- The Buddhist way of Understanding anxiety
  - mainly Self-cherishing,Self-directed anger
- Suggesting from our own experience how to reduce these - possible ideas:
  - Patience - purposeful training ourselves to be able to bear peacefully        unpleasant states of mind -> this one is so helpful
    - returning to explaining delusions and how reality seen by delusions is not            reality -> learning to go against the appearance
  - Love - cherishing others -> as a method to reduce self-cherishing => reduce fear
  - Wisdom - Learning to accept impermanence or emptiness of the self and the    situation -> as a method to reduce fear
