Any diversion... mostly movies. If I can pop a movie in, I can generally calm myself down just by trying to relax while being distracted by it.
However... sometimes if it's bad enough that I don't even feel like watching a movie, I just lay down in my darkened room and lightly close my eyes... and just concentrate on breathing. Then, logically step through that's causing the anxiety. This helps alleviate it a lot as well, but nothing I've tried is ever 100%, most just lower it a bit, and different kinds need different approaches.
