Several!: Meditation, with practice, can reduce your anxiety very quickly and help you to focus. Long acting benzodiazepines, like clonazepam, can reduce your baseline anxiety at the same time. Lastly, for discrete performance anxiety, Propranolol can block a lot of the physical symptoms and essentially trick your brain into believing you are not anxious.

Stay active: Exercise is a great way to relieve stress. Your body releases endorphins during exercise, which can help you feel calm. If you exercise 30 - 60 minutes a day, your stress levels can improve. When stressed, take 5 slow, deep breaths with your eyes closed, then roll your shoulders forward 5 times, then back 5 times. This will slow your heart rate and release tension in your neck and shoulders.
