Maybe this is divine timing, the new boss coming in just as you're becoming more involved in the business. Possible promotion on the horizon? You do sound outstanding at work, which I imagine is going to make you stand out 🙂
Do you know what's causing the anxiety? I've found myself going into this kind of hyper activity in the past when my thoughts are too fast and/or not ordered (there's no solid step by step plan to them, when it involves a huge amount of things I've got going on). I suppose you could say it feels like a 'thought tornado' that takes my body along for the ride. Another way of looking at it is - if 'emotion' is energy in motion and thoughts are a form of energy, the more intense the thinking the more intense the mental/physical emotion. Hope that makes sense. If I throw a stimulant (caffeine) into that tornado it'll pick up speed.
A couple more possibilities, amongst many: Could you be picking up other people's anxiety or could such emotional hyperactivity be misinterpreted? Could you actually be feeling positively excited, with all your cells vibing (vibrating) to the point where it's almost breathtaking? Could you be feeling yourself 'In charge'. Kind of like a battery being in a state of charge, with a stack of energy (aka excitement) coming in.
The body is such an incredibly intelligent thing. It'll find ways to vent some of the activity. I've found one of its typical ways involves sighing. Explains why certain breathing techniques work so well. Focusing on the 'exhausting' or 'venting' breath with controlled breathing is about the out breath being longer than the in breath. You could actually say this kind of breathing technique is controlled conscious sighing/venting.
Sounds seriously weird, I know, but you could try asking your body 'Why are you so hyped up?' and then see what naturally comes to mind. Kind of like if it had a voice what would it tell you. I imagine you've already heard words along the lines of 'You need to calm down' 🙂
