Whenever I'm stressed or have something really important I need to do I usually brainstorm and jot down what's going through my mind. This is what I wrote: So here I am, all done with school (finally got my Master's in Psychology) and looking for some adventure. I was working as a counselor but found myself slowly "drifting away." Not from my clients, but from work. Hard to explain. I'm not "burned-out", I just started feeling "Blahhhh." Blase, bored. I've been thinking of going back to get a Master's in School Psych. because the better-paying jobs in counseling are in the school systems. I'm also considering getting a Teaching Certification and then trying to get into the school system that way (as a teacher). But as I'm entertaining these different scenarios one thing keeps coming up -- Adventure/Excitement/Something Different. Ok, so that's 3 things. This explains why I kept trying to get into the Navy as a counselor (their ad about Adventure and Excitement did it). I think I'm gonna contact that Nova Group about the teaching English in Japan position. Now that would be something DIFFERENT! I just don't wanna live my life with any regrets. Lately, it just felt like there's something missing in my life. If I could describe what I envision for myself these would be the things I would want : 1. Adventure- I'm living and working in some cool place & trying new things, like rock climbing. 2. Excitement- I'm dating and partying like there's no tomorrow. 3. Something Different- I wanna be living in a place that is "different." Dallas, Texas is getting mundane and dreary. There's no character to this city, no LIFE, no EXCITEMENT (from my perspective)! I'm yearning for more, much more... Please know that this is just me rambling. I guess I'm wondering if others reading this have gone through anything similar. If so, what did you do or didn't do to resolve it? Thanks for your feedback or replies. I would love to get some perspective from those living outside the U.S. also. Thanks.

Take a year off and travel. DO something totally crazy like Hike the entire Appalachian trail from Georgia to Maine. Just up and move to someplace else and see if you can do something else.
