As a student of psychology, I can add this tip: Bounce a ball against a wall, or do some juggling (or something similar which involves the use of quick reflexes and/or eye-to hand coördination). The human mind can't handle 'planning' (which anxiety is a derailed version of) and quick action responses at the same time, and it gives precedence to the quick action part. This gives your chemical regulation system the time to reset.
