As a therapist that works primarily with trauma and post traumatic stress, I have found mindfulness to be very helpful in reducing anxiety. People I work with sometimes laugh that the first exercise I team them is breathing and just attending to a single thing in a single moment but the value is huge. There is also a biological basis to why belly breathing or deep breathing is helpful, it turns off the stress system. Thanks for sharing!

Uh, 1 & 2, and that relaxing thingy. Personally, I use deep breathing to relieve an onslaught of an anxiety attack, and that helps but if it persists, I have to extricate myself from the reason for the attack. Maybe stepping back from whatever issue that caused it, or pushing through it to seek an ending.
