When you experience bad turbulence on an airplane, lift your feet up. The movement of your feet messes with you mind and makes it freak out. So if you lift them your anxiety goes down instantly.
Always works for me, but if it doesn’t quite do the trick I recommend ordering a few beers in quick succession.

If you make a list of everything you have to do, and always write down anything that comes to your mind on the same list, you will not worry about forgetting things. Once it’s written down on a list that you know you’re going to look at, your brain stops keeping an “open tab” for it.

I officiate golf tournaments. This involves long hours of sitting in a golf cart. Then when I had to get out I’d be very stiff.
A friend told me to put a towel down and sit on it and I wouldn’t be as stiff. How could that work, I’m just sitting there not moving, not even driving the cart around.
Well it does work. I’d get out and I wouldn’t be stiff.

As a welder, an old welder told me if your eyes get flash burned to put raw potato slices on your eyes and it will stop the pain.
It works, but don't ask me why.
