The times we live in feed it.
Focus on the things you can be thankful for. We all take too much for granted.

Stage 3 cancer, surgery and follow-on radiation when it recurs will tend to generate a little anxiety. A good job and focusing on “right now” helps keep it in the back of the mind. .

Figure out what your "triggers" are and work on those or at least find something else that will distract you from them.
For instance, if claustrophobia is a trigger, always find you an aisle seat in concert venues and leave before the crowd does. You can also occupy yourself by reading or music for instance if flying but get a aisle seat!
Found out recently I don't care for heights anymore....must be a function of getting older....didn't bother when I was younger or maybe it was the POS ladder I was still using, when it should have been melted down long ago?

Not these days,....but back long ago when I was working my life away in that Japanese factory I'd get anxious about it every now and then.
I warded it off with poetry. (It's not a recommendation. I was fairly buzzed when I wrote it long, long ago)
Yeah, Bristoe took a bite of the triple A,
Then he went into the bedroom to slam the hay,
He needs a night's sleep and there is no sorrow,
If he doesn't feel the need to awake tomorrow.
Workin' night shift since he was a lad,
Passin' on the world that the rest has had,
Grinnin' at you folks and flippin' the bird,
Pretending that he never was a part of the herd.
Yeah, he gonna hit the bottle like a workin' class pawn,
Starin' at the ceilin' 'till the break of dawn,
Wondrin' how it ever got to be this way,
That to get a night's sleep he needs the Triple A.
Monday looms tight with it's new beginnin',
Crankin' on the mill and continue the sinnin',
Keepin' up the energy however he can,
With Alcohol, Ambien, and Ativan.
The "Triple A".

I work harder at what I love to do. Took me a very long time to find out this was the answer for me. Get lost in what you love to do.

I will tell you.
If you wake with fear in the night with the feeling of evil near, say "Get the behind me, satan, the Kingdom of Heaven is within me.
For other cases, pick up the Bible and open to any page in the New Testaments (and probably the Old) and start reading.
Ecc 10:2
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but that of a fool to the left.
A Nation which leaves God behind is soon left behind.

,...long time ago,.....written in the wee hours of the morning after a 12 hour day in the factory,....with another 12 hour day coming up.
Entertainment was evasive back then. I had to take it where I found it.
