Questions I would ask (and do ask) myself:

Q1) What makes you happy? (easier said than done, but if not as work, finding things that you can do outside of work, and like-minded people you can meet makes life worthwhile I feel. I am still working on this myself)

Q2) What makes you want to feel like you can't wait to get up every day in the morning? (Sometimes it's just a mindset switch, from this is a "job" to actually finding ways to become very engaged, and passionate. Finding ways to tie it into your long-term goals whether pursuit of knowledge or curiosity, for example)

Q3)What are your financial goals? (Whether you're FI, or not has a huge effect for the questions above I feel, and sometimes that will help you sort your short, medium and long-term expectations)
