One of the ways I stop feeling anxious about things is to think about something else that will ease my mind. Sometimes I go for a run which is helpful in feeling good about your self and your health, or watch tv, and do my best to be less anxious. I drink coffee amen times a day and since I have cut back, I have noticed a change in my level of anxiety. Usually school and work gives me anxiety and what I practice at work is to do some breathing exercises a couple times and clear my head.

Maybe the question can be reframed as how can I be okay with feelings of anxieties in my body? The question assumes that anxiety is a bad thing that need to be stopped. I don't like feeling anxious either but feelings are just sensations in the body and they come and go. We can learn to cope better with it and understand that it's temporary. If we befriend the feeling, we can learn more about our values, i.e. what we care about; and recognise any patterns of thinking which may or may not serve us. Sometimes our minds tell ourselves very negative stories that aren't true and we use a lot of time and emotional energy feeling bad about something is not happening.
