For racing thoughts “stop that thought”. Literally say/think this to yourself. Anxiety is a form of hyper imagination - where people who are intelligent naturally predict outcomes - and end up predicting negative outcomes. You could pick any phrase, but this one works well. You break up the mind’s obsession with the issues you are dealing with. You are naturally trying to fix/predict/deal with life but it goes a bit too far and overloads. It’s like hitting a reset button.

The other suggestion is exercise - which you are already doing - and from now and then meditating. Just find a quiet place, sit in a chair, close your eyes, and focus on a white spot/sphere 3 inches in front of your nose or forehead. Count your breaths. Count to 121 in segments of 11. If you can do that for 5 minutes straight you will calm down.

And then yes- reading the Bible. Download onto your phone. Read in small doses. Read a psalm, read one parable of the gospels. Amazing wisdom and it can calm you as well.
