I used to be anxious all the time. I am months and months away from any kind of therapy and I needed to take a handle on it myself. So this is what I learned.

Do things that take your mind away. I love creative writing, it is who I am, so during episodes of anxiety I get my pen and paper (or laptop) out and start writing. I often use the anxiety as a vice, I write about it.

Give yourself praise. My tutor taught me at college that every criticism needs four praises to undo. Remember to praise yourself more, give yourself a pat on the back. Stop telling yourself you're stupid or a failure, because you're not.
