In general things like yoga, meditating and breathing exercises can help a lot. I think it's the mix.
I doubt that doing an exercise as reaction to hitting anxiety does not work so easily - at least it doesn't for me. But that may be depending on individual people.
I find breathing exercises, yoga and walking very helpful. Both meditative and not. I like 5-4-5 breathing I think it is? This guy... James Nestor I think went on Joe rogan and talked about breathing. I would never watch Joe now, but it is wild to think about how much cool stuff I did learn from JRE.
Really. Have you tried jumping on one leg, closing your eyes, twirling and praying to your token deity. You can point to the confused research, but these techniques don't work. You're better of learning a skill than wasting your time trying calm yourself by controlling your breath. Go diving if you're abnormally attached to breath control. You'll at least see things from another perspective.
