In addition to anxiety felt during the day and evening being bad for blood pressure, that can lead into not being able to sleep at night because of stressing about all that we're thinking about. It's a vicious cycle, but you need sleep to help your body overcome the anxiety and to heal anything else going on.
While the trick I've found only solves the problem temporarily, it is a way to relieve stress from the mind long enough to get to sleep. Even tho they say to turn the tv off an hour before going to sleep, I've found that watching a light-hearted tv show that makes you laugh helps. My favorites are oldies but goodies, like "My Three Sons" or "Frasier." A crime or drama doesn't do it for me as far as helping to get to sleep - but just letting go even for just a few minutes before going to sleep helps. Then make the decision not to think about anything issues afterwards.
I like the suggestions especially about exercise, being with other people, and staying in a routine. Writing is suggested in the article, but maybe write down what each anxiety is, and then logically try to work out a plan to counter it.

Many anxiety sufferers experience a variety of scenarios created by ‘what if’ thoughts; these can often be about health but may also be about harming oneself or another person or maybe about sexual themes. All of these thoughts are the product of the anxiety reaction and should not be feared.

Get moving...Instead of sitting around thinking about how I feel, I just get moving. The effects are fantastic. During my walks I practice "no thought".
When You realize you are no longer present ( in though) you automatically become present.It helps stop anxiety momentum.

Anxiety as common and unpleasant emotional experience tight everyone, but not in the same way and strength. When it destroys our daily activities, then it should take any action, in order to avoid its numerous damage consequences for our general well-being. Among them certainly, are Your ten recommendation activities. As You noted, there are unlimited activities that help us to overcome this unkind feeling. In this way, I would to stress the necessity of active dealing with anxiety in order to soften the psycho-somatic suffering. Otherwise, we would to face with many bad personal, professional and social repercussion.

I have found that a family member triggers anxiety for me. Their problems are so overwhelming I can't imagine living like that, and just thinking about their problem clouds my thought process until I can't think straight. It takes days to overcome a phone call from them. I do my best to avoid, because I don't want to hurt them.

Jodi, Really great suggestions. I am finding that a routine is very important to me.
I like your point that when we're feeling anxious, we're not trusting ourselves. For the first time, I've been thinking about how I don't trust myself. Following at least some of your suggestions will help me begin to trust, I hope.

Exercise and Clonazepam are the only things that work for me.

For me, like Nikky, in your article, the routine is really important. It is too easy sometimes when we experienced prolonged anxiety to begin to lose track of our daily routine. In depression the routine is more or less removed from the individual. Such as getting ready in the morning, having a shower, shaving if male or applying makeup if female... and sometimes visa versa :)
Just crawling out of bed and throwing same old clothes on shows that you are starting to care less about yourself.
Affirmations can be really powerful over time but I find that if the individual doesn't believe in them then they can be rejected in the mind. Best time for them I believe, is just before falling asleep or just after the moment you wake up when the mind is highly suggestible.

Very interesting points! I do apply some of them, others I never do (exercise).
My favorite points that work best with me, is helping someone, talking to people, the routine. A routine is not necessarily something difficult. It is as simple as a text message saying good night right before bed time. It works better than tranquilizers!
