Meditation helps: You might try meditation. I would pick a reputable program, like the Silva Method or perhaps yoga, where you exercise the body and the mind.

Big topic!: Start with small, easy steps. Identify 2-3 triggers for your anxiety. Come up with a plan for each. Practice redirecting your anxiety with your action plan for those 3 triggers for 1month. Your response time and confidence will improve. Then tackle a few more. Exercise, sleep well, eat healthy, meditate/pray daily.
