How do you guys manage your anxiety?

I’m someone who can’t be still when I’m in overthinking, anxious-thought mode and I’ll usually sit and bounce on a yoga ball for a while. Id like to have something that I can manage to calm myself down and not feel the urge to be moving.

There is always breathing. That is the start of everything. And you don't have to start off breathing in any sort of way. Just focus on thinking "I'm breathing in" when you breathe in and "I'm breathing out" when you breathe out.
If you need a more structured breathing technique, you can always try box breathing. Breathe in for four seconds, hold for four seconds, breathe out four seconds, hold for four seconds. And repeat that three or four times and see how you feel after that.
