I learned many breathing techniques in my yoga classes, and they are extremely helpful.
Breathing also ties in nicely with meditation for the same purposes.
Try closing your eyes and breathe in through your nose (deep breaths) and breathe out slowly through your mouth or nose. At first breathing via my nose was not comfortable or natural and I felt I could never get a deep enough breath. Nine months later I prefer it. Like anything else, it just takes practice. Good luck.
When I do get anxious, I try repeat to myself, "Come back to my breath." If I take the time to actually close my eyes and breathe it works.
