Anxiety can be dealt with in several ways. Always rule out if there's a medical cause to the anxiety. If it's not medically caused then exercise, good nutrition and getting enough rest are primary. Therapy is also recommended to identify the root of the anxiety, to ensure healthy habits and to provide the additional support needed to facilitate change.
There are lots of good self help books out there, but another good way is to go to a counselor and they can help better understand and address anxiety.
