That's a good list, Gail. Expanding on the "Get Creative" category, you might take up an artistic hobby if you don't already have one. I play classical guitar and I've found that to very helpful when I'm feeling anxious. If you got into music or painting or drawing or knitting, sewing, cooking, or anything like that you might find it helpful as well. Artistic activities like this are great because they not only give us something to focus on other than how we're feeling, but they also give us new ways to express ourselves. And most art forms you can usually teach yourself if you get some books on them. I started taking guitar lessons when I was 11 but I made more progress after I quit lessons and started teaching myself. Just a suggestion.
