I was at the point where I was getting short of breath delivering status in meetings...so I started meditating + exercising which definitely helped.

The biggest thing, however, that ended up helping was that I had to give two 5 min presentations in front of about 100 people. I practiced for a couple of hours, got super stressed out and a little nervous during the presentations, but got through it.

And now...the day to day anxiety is much less. I think my anxiety meter got reset at a much higher level so most interactions now are not a big deal. So it helped to lean in to the problem rather than try to minimize it.
