These are small things but they help me.

Taking scented baths, use tea bags if you don't have scented bath oil,bubble or salt. Stay in the tub as it drains and wash of troubles and anxiety visually let them go down the drain with the water

Coloring, or just use regular paper pens and pencil and just doodles..start in one corner and don't consciously draw anything, just make lines, thin lines, thick lines, wavy , curly, Zigzag lines until the paper is filled.

If you can get a blue screen on your tv...usually when you switch to the DVD but with no disk in its blue. Just look at it for 5 minutes and try to empty your mind of fear, think calming thoughts. Think of swinging, running across a field of wheat or heather, sitting in sunshine, etc

Lay on the floor and stare at the ceiling just look without trying notice cracks or shadows. Breath deeply and let it out very slowly.

I hope these help or give you ideas that help.
