How do you deal with anxiety?

[IanSaysHi]

1) Trying not to procrastinate. The more things are put off the worse the anxiety gets so it's better in the long run just to deal with whatever it is that you're anxious about now.
2) Look back at past experiences. Did they all end as badly as you thought they would?
3) Take a long deep breath. Sounds simple but sometimes it helps.
4) This probably goes against professional advice, but nowadays when I'm anxious or worried about something and it's not my fault or someone else's issue I try to get myself angry. Or fired up. Whatever. For me it's about turning around the feeling of being nervous and small to being confident and fired up. Sounds easier said than done but it can be done.
5) Avoid alcohol. Yes alcohol can make you feel good for a short time but afterwards it acts as a depressant and can make things feel so much worse.
6) Blow stuff up on a video game.
7) Go for a meal with friends. Laugh as much as possible.
