Maybe you need some adventure in your life – something totally out of the ordinary, like taking a mule ride down the Grand Canyon (this will give you religion in a hurry, believe me). Or plan a wilderness camping trip with your friends. Summer’s coming – are you near the water? Sailboat owners often look for crew on their racing or cruising boats, and you don’t necessarily have to have any sailing experience, just a good attitude.
Even taking off for a week and just driving somewhere you’ve always wanted to see – alone on the road – can get you out of that burnt-out feeling.
These aren’t “deep, fulfilling” things, but I’ve always found that adventure leads to a new outlook, a different way of seeing myself and others, and good stories to tell! And a change in environment, even temporary, often leads to a changed outlook in ways you can’t predict.
