I've been wondering...
How can I tell my anxiety to shut up? What can I tell it to calm me down?

It really is going to depend on what works for you. The whole idea of telling your anxiety to shut up - well, sometimes you can. I talk to myself and will just stop in my tracks and say NOPE - we're not doing this right now. I have things to do and I don't have time for anxiety!!!
Other times I have to meditate. Or sip some hot tea. Or just go to sleep. Or take a walk.... You really need to figure out what will work best for you.
