Positive visualizations like you said, meditation, prayer, and if all else fails watching an old movie/tv show that I love to get my mind off things.

meditation and practicing in the now if you have flashbacks. like i habe flashbacks and try to say ok that was then today is a new day/ or new thought. or try the hairband trick flicking when you start to get anxiety.

When I was pregnant at night I would wake up stressed at times. I would just get up and bake something rather than lay there, thinking about whatever it was that was bothering me. It was a way to get my mind off of it and create midnight snacks, which probably also helped the stess

Nothing helps at all. I am not pregnant but I have social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder. Nothing calms me down, nothing stops my attacks. I basically ride them out. If I am having an anxiety attack and I try and calm myself down or slow my breathing or think of my anxiety at all it trigger an even bigger attack and then I snowball from there. I really can't think of anything more fun

I work out or read. I try not to think about how badly I want a glass of wine. I write things down--things I need to do, mostly. Having my to-do's written down helps me remove that from my brain

I had huge amounts of really unexpected anxiety after my mum passed away and what helped me was acupuncture. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who was having more than just the occasional bout of anxiety.
