Sounds to me like you have a great start on ideas for helping with anxiety. I also like to do something physical like hiking with my dog. When I get angry, which does happen, I beat the crap out of a pillow. I needed to buy a foam pillow. It can take more of a pounding. When I wasn't mobile, I would listen to music or watch an inspirational movie or TV show. I also would do breathing exercises while visualizing somewhere peaceful like the beach. I do know the more anxious that I allowed myself to get, the worst I felt. So, I try my best to limit how anxious I get. Ever beat the heck out of a pillow?
