I think so. Focusing on Breathing alone helps me.

Hey there, yes as a matter of fact mindfulness has been proven to help with anxiety and ADHD. I learned a breathing technique recently that has been helpful for me that I can share with you.
1. Lift your arms up to create space in your lungs with palms facing upwards
2. Raise your chin up a bit and take in a breath filling your lungs completely, letting your belly expand.
3. Then slowly release the breath and have your mouth just slightly open so the breath passing out makes a sound.
4. Repeat this until you are feeling calmer.
You want to aim for a short in breath of a count of around 3 and exhale long to about a count of 10
That’s different, I’m going to try that next time. I was taught to lay with my hand on my abdomen to feel the air going in and out.

That totally works too. Try them both and see what feels best. If I had less energy I would choose to do the lay down one. Most likely at night after the day is done, before bed. But this one I have mentioned here can work well during the day when your at work or what have you, and need a quick calming recharge.
