A big one. I am moving from the business world to being a teacher. Big pay cut, but it is keeping me on my toes and it's great fun to be around the kids. I just embarked on a career change.

A sense of boredom, especially when you've got plenty (or even too much) to do, is a sure sign that something is awry. My clients often report boredom and try to explain it away as an unsatisfactory social life, for instance, when the real problem is their jobs. They may be highly stressed and very busy, even overwhelmed, at work, so it's sometimes hard for them to believe that their jobs are boring, but that sure is what it is! In fact, I wrote an article on this recently: http://www.svahaconcepts.com/archives/articles/article_2007-06-30_boredom.html I also want to say I wish you'd underline, bold, and large-font your closing sentence. It's SO important to remember that you're the only one who's ultimately responsible for your own happiness! Rob has pointed out the boredom factor that I wanted to write about as well.

All that other stuff could be great, but I used to find if I'm not being challenged I would be bored and thus feel like I was going nowhere in life....which lead to some of those other things.
