Yeh definitely.

Anxiety is a state isn't it and it's almost more about the state than the thing causing it. The state is unpleasant and you're aware of it when it returns, maybe even monitor for the anxious state itself. "It's back ! I don't believe it, here it is again !" Then very aware of it.

Try not to keep hold of it by forgetting it as quickly as you can. Turn it into a blip instead of an episode that takes up a lot of your day.

I try to put my mind back on where i was as soon as I can and look away from it. Then your state has a better chance of returning to where it was.
