When you say "I feel anxious and tense" be more specific. What specifically is happening in your body that tells you you're feeling anxious and tense? For instance, you might just scan your body from head to toe assessing and then make a list: (something like) jaw clenched, frowning, shallow breathing, shoulder muscles tight, stomach clenched, hands dry---something like that. Then you could make a list of how to respond to those states more exactly---loosen jaw, open mouth, smile, breathe, stretch, lotion. I'll bet you're already doing something like this as you work on the timer exercises---right? Congratulations on making such a good choice in your life. I wish you well. Judy.
