the important thing with open focus is to use it 24/7 in your day to day life not just confine it in your 30 minute session per day.
You have to get used to realizing when you become anxious and then change to open focus immediately in the same second. The timing is important. If you change to open focus while the trigger is still there, the anxiety and the trigger get disconnected more and more. The more often you get the timing right the weaker the response is that the trigger can cause in you, until the trigger cannot cause any anxiety anymore at all.
If its too difficult to change to complete open focus on the go, then first just try with peripheral vision. You should be able to get a conscious control of your vision rather quickly and be able to change from peripheral to focused vision on command. next time when you feel anxious just switch to peripheral vision and it dissolves your anxiety. Its impossible to have anxiety with peripheral vision, anxiety and narrow focus go hand in hand.
As soon as something excites you, you automatically go to narrow focus. Got adrenaline from a fight? -> Narrow Focus. See a hot girl? -> Narrow Focus. Got anxiety during a public speech? Narrow focus. You can reverse the process by getting control of your vision and through peripheral vision you can manually "brute-force" an unexcited, relaxed mind. If you can extend your vision control to complete awareness control up to Open Focus of course its even more powerful. But for me the peripheral vision alone was already powerful enough to dampen any anxiety I'd get by 90% .
