What does everyone do to calm the obsessive thoughts?

Music? (If so, any particular genre/artists help in particular?)
Reading?
TV/movies?
Activities?
Other?

I'm finding it hard right now - harder than its been in a very long time - to calm these thoughts and my anxiety. It's coming to a point that it's affecting how I act and my ability to maintain a stable, clean household. I really don't want my oldest daughter to worry that I'm going crazy.
