Here are a few suggestions which may help with anxiety:
Exercise - both aerobic and non-aerobic. Walking, jogging are great. Yoga and similar relaxation techniques are very helpful.
Socialize with neighbors and friends. Volunteer in the community to help others. An active mind is a healthy mind.
Start a journal and write down your feelings when an anxiety attack occurs.
Avoid or limit caffeine. Caffeine is in tea, cola, chocolate, - and so many other items, including some over-the-counter medications. Read labels.
Try deep breathing exercises and/or meditation.
Find new hobbies that inspire relaxation - painting, drawing, writing, puzzles, music.

Sometimes anxiety treatment is combined with training in the practice of mindfulness meditation to help one become less reactive to stress triggers and more at ease with themselves. The referenced link on anxiety treatment has this practice listed as a recommendation as well as many other suggestions.
I will not repeat the other person's answers but I would like to reinforce a couple of suggestions, like journaling so you can take a more objective view of your reaction to stress triggers and following a good diet that does not have any stimulants like coffee.
