Party Hard (or Read A Book)
I think this applies to more than anxiety, but also introversion. Sometimes I make plans, and I'm all for it when I make them, but as the time draws closer, sometimes depending on my energy level, the less up for it i feel.

Remedies Part 3
Doing something kind for someone really, really helps me. Supporting my wife, for example - it takes away all my self centered (!) thoughts and "fears". We have a children wish - so, it may sound stupid - but while this will cause "stress" it also shifts my view to the little thing requiring attention. Other than that: distraction helps a lot. Eating: be careful, I realized too late that I started to overeat as it made me feel "happy" - gained 10kg, now back to healthy dieting (less calories - no sports currently because see earlier images...sucks...)

I'm glad they did a list on anxiety. It usually gets left out with depression taking the lead... but anxiety is the silent killer.. lurking.
It's really hard as well and also may lead to depression episodes while you feel so hopeless and helpless
