Fitting question given my day today.
The big one is sleep. If I can get a good night's sleep (or at least a nap), I find my anxiety lifts to a more bearable level. Otherwise, I try to find a puzzle or problem to solve or just generally anything that exercises enough of my brainpower to distract from my intrusive thoughts. At least for a while.
If you had to choose, Cherry Coke or Cherry Pepsi?

Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
