Golfing legend Tom Watson was asked several times how he maintained the high stakes pressure of winning Majors and golf tournaments.
He stated that he used deep breathing and slowing down his breathing to calm him down when the tournaments were on the line.
Magnesium glycinate is used by millions of folks. Take some about an hour before your bedtime if you have problems going to sleep. Yes, its your cortisol ramping up.
Make sure you get a good high-quality brand, stay away from the cheap crap on Amazon and the big box mega stores.
Exercise is definitely a huge help in relieving anxiety and stress.
Try to help others in need. You will be surprised how much of a boost that will be to your moral and overall health.
Quote Scripture to yourself, over and over again when times get tough.
I can't tell you how many times I have used Philippians 4:13 in my life:
'I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.'
This one scripture has gotten me through some of the most challenging times in my life.
There are many more Bible verses that you can use. Find what helps you.

Results: In a 12-week Phase 2b trial involving 198 participants, a single 100-microgram dose of MM120 (LSD) resulted in a 48% remission rate for GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) at week 12.

(not professional therapist advice for obvious reasons)
Things that work for me (I was diagnosed with GAD in my 20s, absolutely had it all of my life):
- Magnesium Glycinate when I need something to take the edge off. When it was at its worst I was taking Buspirone but I don't like feeling super drowsy.
- Finding a hobby that got me moving and focused on something enough to be a distraction (birding and photography) was a huge help. Really allowed me to "shut my brain off" for decent periods of time and lower that cortisol.
- Deep breathing and mindfulness practices (like meditation, yoga) have also been really helpful.
- Some things I use for myself (and with clients) to trigger that vagus nerve: Cold water on face or running over wrists, an ice pack on chest or back of neck, progressive muscle relaxation (the tensing you talked about).
- I also love a good body scan. I've been doing some somatic experiencing workshops professionally and there's some wonderful stuff out there about being in tune with your body and where you physically experience/hold the anxiety. I'm horrible about clenching teeth, my jaw, and carrying tightness in my neck and shoulders. So doing a scan and being mindful of when that's at its worse is helpful.
