Anxiety is a form of fear that arises at the " thought " of something going wrong in the future, rather than right now.
Keeping a written record of what makes you anxious (the specific thoughts and the triggers ) helps you understand yourself , the underlying beliefs and your anxieties better and see some of these anxieties for what they truly are " imaginary " and " without any real basis ".It helps you then focus your energies on the remaining obstacles and challenges.
Sure other techniques like meditation , breathing, yoga ,a healthy lifestyle , and having support of people to talk to ( family, confidant, mentor, counsellor ) do help .
But keeping a written record helps us see things in the right perspective .
Try it out if you are experiencing anxiety.

Totally agree. I think we need to do some kind of self directed exercises that would help us to gain control over our ATTENTION which in turn would help get over anxiety, worries, dissatisfaction and other negative sensations
