How to cope with the short lunch break in the new company and some anxiety and obsession?

Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your message. Kind regards,

In response to the issues you have raised, we would like to suggest the following solutions:

Adjust your lunch break to allow for sufficient rest. Finish eating at least an hour before your break begins. If feasible, discuss with your colleagues the possibility of starting your lunch break earlier.

It is important to create a relaxing lunch break environment. This should be a quiet, comfortable, dark space free from noise and distractions. If necessary, you can use earplugs or headphones to listen to some relaxing music.

It is recommended that you utilize relaxation techniques before your lunch break. These techniques may include deep breathing, meditation, or simple body relaxation exercises. They can assist you in achieving a more restful state.

It is advisable to avoid using electronic devices during your lunch break. Mobile phones and computers emit blue light, which can disrupt the quality of your sleep.

It is important to manage anxiety and obsessive thoughts by accepting that they are a normal part of life. When experiencing these thoughts, it is helpful to view them as a normal occurrence rather than attempting to resist or avoid them.

In the case of compulsive behaviors, it is advisable to attempt to delay the performance of these behaviors and gradually increase the delay.

If company policy allows, you may wish to discuss with your supervisor the possibility of adjusting your working hours or work mode to better suit your needs.

If you are unable to meet your requirements in your current position, it may be beneficial to explore alternative job opportunities. When searching for a new role, it is advisable to focus on aspects such as company culture and working hours.

It is important to remember that each individual's needs and circumstances are unique. Therefore, it is crucial to identify a solution that aligns with your specific requirements. I hope you find these suggestions beneficial.

Hello!

From your description, I can tell you're anxious and helpless, but you're also aware of this. It's good you're facing this.

Look at your description and feel the conflict and helplessness. Maybe you need a nap, but you can't at your new job. This may affect your life and work, making you feel helpless. Is that it?

All questions are resources. We can solve our own problems. Based on your description, I have some suggestions that I hope will help.

Become more aware and clarify.

When we're confused, we can close our eyes and sense where the feeling is in our body. At the same time, we need to sense:

What is the reason for this feeling? When did you first feel like this? Or maybe you could check if there was a time at work when you felt relaxed enough to fall asleep.

What happened then?

How did you do it?

Sometimes we need to know what we really need. Is this a fact or a feeling?

Find a method that suits you.

Or find something you've done before to help you face it.

Second, distract yourself.

It's important to understand your feelings. We all have habits. When our habits change, we feel panic and tension. It's normal to feel overwhelmed. You've noticed this, and you're changing. To change, we need to distract ourselves. Don't look at the emotions that make us feel uncomfortable. Notice and feel the relaxed feelings.

Listen to some meditation or gentle music before bed to help you relax and fall asleep.

Then accept it.

When we feel negative emotions, we can accept them and allow ourselves to feel this way. This helps us to reconcile with ourselves.

You can avoid mental depletion. If you don't make it bigger and don't pay special attention to it, it will disappear.

You can get through it. Meditate, breathe deeply, or exercise.

If these methods don't help, see a psychologist.

I'll recommend a few books. I hope they help.

Mr. Toad Goes to the Psychologist

Coping with anxiety

Meditate for five minutes and you'll feel as rested as if you'd slept for an hour.

I am pleased to respond to your inquiry. I hope that my suggestions will prove beneficial to you.

In this situation, it is strongly advised that you seek the assistance of a psychologist to specifically identify the root cause of your problem and determine an appropriate course of action for remediation.

In the process, we can initially learn to regulate emotions in order to reduce anxiety and thereby focus on work.

Whether the objective is to maintain one's current position or to identify an alternative opportunity, these tasks can be accomplished without undue delay or interference with one's career trajectory.

In terms of one's emotional state, anxiety has resulted in a variety of circumstances that are detrimental to daily work and life.

Secondly, there is a possibility that the subject displays compulsive tendencies.

This compulsion is not only a matter of behavior, but also the tendency to force oneself to take a nap in order to be able to work.

This point is of particular significance and may not have been previously recognized. For instance, an individual may require a specific duration for their lunch break. If this is not met, it could have implications for their ability to continue with their work or other activities for the remainder of the afternoon.

Thus, the necessity of a forced lunch break and the requirement to reserve an hour for lunch are two conditions that, when unmet, can impact one's emotional state and motivation.

It is necessary to adjust not only the manner in which one takes a nap, but also the way in which obsessive thinking and certain emotional and anxious states are managed.

During this process, it is important to be mindful of any instances of anxiety or a state of being out of it, as these can potentially lead to stuttering or other forms of speech impediment, which can have serious implications.

There are two steps to be taken. The first is to calm one's emotions and reduce anxiety.

The second step is to engage in additional language exercises during one's leisure time. These may include reading, speaking with a trusted family member or friend, or seeking the guidance of a counselor.

It is hoped that through introspection and the assistance of qualified professionals, an optimal adjustment can be identified that is compatible with one's professional and personal endeavors.

I extend my affection to the world and to you.

Hello, I am Gu Daoxi Fengshou, a heart exploration coach.

I empathize with the feelings the questioner is experiencing. If it would help, I would be happy to give the questioner a hug.

I also faced a challenge similar to the one the questioner described when I switched jobs. I had to adjust to a new routine.

I made some changes to my work schedule. I started working an hour and a half each way, and I shifted my start and end times from 8:00 to 17:30 to 9:30 to 18:30. I also adjusted my breakfast and lunch times. I found that eating breakfast too late in the morning and eating lunch too early made it difficult for me to adjust to the new schedule. Similarly, eating dinner too late at night made it challenging for me to wind down after work. I had to adjust my expectations and routines to accommodate these changes. It took about two months for me to gradually adjust to the new schedule.

It is understandable that adjusting from one comfort zone to another will require an adjustment period. It may be helpful for the questioner to allow themselves some time to reset their experiences and feelings from the past, and to start anew.

Every inch forward brings a moment of joy. It might be helpful to adjust your focus from how much time you've lost to how much time you can rest today. This could help to reduce the subject's anxiety about the passage of time.

You might like to consider trying a different way of resting, such as going to bed earlier or doing something that is physically and mentally enjoyable to relax the brain. This could help you to relieve your anxiety.

It may be helpful to allow emotions to exist. As the saying goes, it is often beneficial to let emotions out rather than suppressing them. Confronting emotions can sometimes lead to anxiety and cause emotions to be replayed. Accepting that emotions exist can be a helpful first step. When emotions come up, it might be beneficial to lie down for a while, which could help the questioner feel better.

It might be helpful to keep an emotional diary to record the occurrence and triggers of emotions. This could assist you in identifying the causes of anxiety and obsessive thoughts. Additionally, it may be beneficial to be aware of the potential consequences of failing to perform compulsive behaviors and to prepare for them. This could help to promote relaxation.

If you find yourself in a less than optimal mood, you might consider trying a different way of communicating. For instance, switching from verbal to written communication could allow you more time to adjust your mood.

It might be helpful to avoid fixed thinking, such as deciding that you must be like this or you must be like that. You could try telling yourself that you can step out of your comfort zone and adapt to a new environment.

Perhaps it would be helpful to ask yourself: Is it really guaranteed that you can have a two-hour lunch break if you change jobs? Could you possibly have a shorter lunch break?

It might be helpful to consider how long it would take to find it. Attempting to alter one's perspective could potentially assist the individual in expanding their outlook.

You might find it helpful to read "Burns Anxiety Self-Help Therapy," "Accepting Imperfection," and "A Thought Turn." These books may assist you in adjusting your thinking.

I wish you the best of luck!

Hello, I'm Zeyu, and I'm so happy to be here with you today!

"What if I can't get used to the short anxiety-and-obsession-1834.html" target="_blank">lunch break at my new company and feel anxious and compulsive?" The questioner was really struggling with this problem and was even thinking of quitting and finding a new company. They weren't sure what to do and were really struggling to cope, so they decided to seek help.

Now, we're facing a new challenge. Our rest time is half an hour shorter than it was in our previous job. It's natural to feel worried that we won't get enough rest. But, checking the time can make us feel anxious and cause us to act out of habit. Let's talk about a common misconception about sleep. The truth is that a longer lunch break can be just as beneficial for restoring our energy. It's not about the length of time, but about quality rest.

Let's be honest, we all have the same 30 minutes for lunch. It's just half an hour! But we can make the most of it. We can try to find ways to squeeze more time out of an effective lunch break. And when it's time to rest, we can put all our energy and effort into trying to fall asleep and make the most of the short half-hour sleep. But let's not forget that the fatigue and burnout we face comes from the idea that we want to go to sleep as soon as possible. So let's try to remember that "lunch break" is a way to recharge our batteries, not a way to deplete our energy.

We really hope that we can rely on the lunch break to restore our energy, which is our ultimate goal. In reality, in addition to the lunch break, we can actually try other methods to restore our energy and mental energy. For example, mindfulness meditation, body scanning, etc. In addition to this, we can also try to use relaxing meditation exercises before going to bed or using the method of focusing on breathing to restore energy during the lunch break.

It's so easy to get caught up in thinking about the nap itself when we really need to let our minds relax. When we focus too much on the nap, it can make it harder for us to fall asleep and can make us feel more anxious and obsessive. One way to help is to find ways to pay less attention to the nap and distract our attention to other things. The methods mentioned above can be used as a reference.

Hello! I'm here for you, and I'm sending you a 360-degree hug.

It seems like your anxiety-and-obsession-1834.html" target="_blank">lunch break was reduced by half an hour when you switched companies, which has led to some anxiety and obsessive symptoms that are affecting your work. I'm here to help you figure out what you can do. Let me share my thoughts with you.

First, it's been two months since you started your new job, and it's understandable if you're feeling a bit overwhelmed. It seems like the lunch break has been a bit of a challenge for you. I remember you mentioning that your previous job had a different lunch break policy. It's possible that your previous lunch break might not have been enough to fully recharge your batteries. Did you ever experience any anxiety or compulsive behaviors in your previous job?

It seems like in your previous job, you didn't have any anxiety about your lunch break. Is there anything else that makes you feel anxious or obsessive?

For example, relationships with colleagues, communication with supervisors, etc.

From what you've told me, it seems like you're highly sensitive, which is totally normal! It's possible that the things that used to make you anxious in your previous job are still there, but you may have developed other symptoms to cover up those things. For instance, you used to have tense relationships with your colleagues because you were highly sensitive, and you had to change jobs. You found that you still had to deal with complicated interpersonal relationships at your new job, and you didn't want to resign again because of this, so you developed other symptoms to find a reason for not being able to devote yourself to your work.

Take a moment to think about it. If you still had a two-hour lunch break at your current job, you could really use it to recharge your batteries! Is your current job and company really what you want?

We're so sorry to hear you're still feeling anxious. If you feel like this job is perfect if you have enough rest time, we really think you should consider changing jobs.

If you answered that even if you have enough time to rest, this job still makes you anxious, it might be time to find something that really gets your adrenaline going!

I think that your current anxiety about the length of your lunch break may be a way of protecting yourself from other things that cause you anxiety. You could try removing the lunch break variable to see what really makes you anxious, and then work on that real anxiety.

Second, if you're feeling tired because you don't get enough lunch breaks, try to find other ways to recharge. You could, for example, cut your lunch break short, do some gentle stretching, play some relaxing white noise, get a little more sleep at night, wear an eye mask, and create a soothing ritual for your naps.

I really think you should talk to a counselor, too.

I'm a counselor who is often Buddhist and sometimes pessimistic, but I try to be positive and motivated as much as I can! I love the world and I love you!

Good day. From your description, it is evident that you are facing some challenges at work. You have mentioned experiencing anxiety and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive behavior.

I understand that your lunch break has been reduced to 1.5 hours, which has resulted in fatigue. You are exhibiting signs of anxiety and obsessive behavior, which suggests you may have a highly sensitive personality. You are contemplating leaving your current position to pursue a new opportunity, but the transition period is relatively short, making it challenging to determine whether it is the right decision.

I can sense your anxiety, stress, physical and mental exhaustion, and confusion. If you repeatedly check your phone, it often indicates a lack of security. The same applies to your repeated attempts to arrange your shoes in a "perfect" way.

The shortened lunch break is causing you to feel anxious and out of sorts. You are also concerned that you will not be able to get sufficient rest, which may lead to burnout. Not getting enough rest can leave you feeling exhausted every day, affecting your work and social life.

Furthermore, you have demonstrated a tendency to act compulsively in response to time constraints and the need to replenish energy. This may be driven by an underlying desire to alleviate anxiety by exerting control over circumstances that are beyond your control, potentially due to a lack of inner security. I was seconded to a higher-level unit for a period of time, and suddenly I went from being able to sleep in the dormitory during the day to having nowhere to take my lunch break. Initially, I experienced significant discomfort with the situation. However, I later realized that after everyone left at noon, there were numerous chairs left behind, which I utilized for sleeping.

I'm facing the issue of not being able to take a lunch break, and you're facing the issue of not having enough time for a lunch break. However, there are always solutions. If you are unable to take a lunch break, you can still ensure you get enough sleep by going to bed earlier in the evening or waking up later the next morning.

When you return home in the evening, you may wish to engage in some stretching or meditation to recharge your batteries. Should you experience compulsive behavior, you may also find it helpful to take a deep breath and perform some relaxation exercises.

You can always encourage yourself with the affirmation that you will find a solution or adapt to the new lunch break. When considering a change of job, it is important to evaluate your financial situation and development prospects.

I wish you the best of luck in overcoming your current challenges and in your future endeavors.

I am Qu Huidong, a psychological counselor who employs the use of imagery in my practice.

The subject is experiencing distress due to the reduction in the lunch break duration at their new workplace. This has resulted in a range of physical and mental responses, including concerns about inadequate sleep due to the shortened nap period, heightened anxiety associated with frequent monitoring of remaining lunch break time, and the tendency to repeatedly arrange personal items, such as footwear, mobile phones, and earbud cases, in an attempt to mitigate anxiety. However, this has led to increased time expenditure and heightened distress. The subject demonstrates awareness of their anxiety and compulsive behaviors. However, it is uncertain whether these issues would persist if the lunch break duration were to be extended by 30 minutes.

A shorter lunch break can be a triggering event. It is also important to consider whether this new job is something you truly want to do long-term. You have left your previous company in order to develop and earn more. Can the new company meet your expectations? Some children nowadays refuse to go to school, citing various reasons such as stomach aches, headaches, and nausea. However, upon entering the school grounds, these symptoms manifest physically. There are numerous reasons for this, and they often manifest as physical symptoms.

When the body is in a state of illness, parents are obliged to take their children to the doctor or allow them to rest at home, with the objective of preventing them from attending school. The reason why I am asking you about your opinion of your new company is that I hope you will be able to view the current issue of insufficient rest time from a different perspective, and that you will gain a deeper understanding of your needs as a result.

The pursuit of "perfection" is not inherently problematic; it is a natural human tendency to strive for the best. However, if the pursuit of "perfection" becomes a source of distress, it may indicate the presence of obsessive behavior, which is a form of anxiety. This state of mind often necessitates professional psychological counseling and treatment.

During the course of psychological counseling, the counselor will assist the client in comprehending the underlying causes of their behavioral issues, modifying their cognitive processes, and identifying an effective relaxation training regimen tailored to their needs, with the objective of alleviating the problem and mitigating its symptoms.

I recommend an article I wrote, entitled "When You Can't Sleep, Know Your 'Foot'," which can be found at https://www.xinli001.com/info/100490181. It is my hope that this article will provide you with the energy you need at any given moment.

I wish you the best of success!
