I just found a note card my last therapist made for me, which reminded me of what to do when I start having negative/anxious thoughts. I am passing the info on to you folks.

Distraction---Thought Stopping

1) STOP!

2) Visualize a red stop sign.

3) Visualize a pleasant scene.

4) Distract yourself.

What advice have you been given or read about dealing with anxiety that you have found helpful?
Thanks for this!
