Sounds like some kind of motivation/identity crisis or burnout syndrome.

I have a proposal that might sound strange and maybe you cannot do it for family reasons or whatnot... but it worked wonders for me and I think it's worth sharing.

Have you ever heard of Camino de Santiago? It's a pilgrimage route across Spain and I walked that when I was in some sort of personal crisis and I needed to clear my head and figure out my life.

The point is that you get out of your environment and your 'normal life' routine and you just walk. No plan, no pressure, no distractions (I did not check my email for weeks) and you just walk, enjoy the sun and rain, meet new people, think about what they have to say, enjoy occasional dinner and wine with your co-pilgrims.

It's difficult to explain the experience but the thing is that things start to happen in your brain and you start to see everything differently. I came there with anxiety attacks and one month and 750 km later I felt like a different person, relaxed and full of energy, ready for new adventures.

I've considered doing Camino. Would love to chat more about your experience.

I would be happy to - my email is my HN nickname at gmail - get in touch, ask anything, I had great times at Camino and I love to talk about it.
