I am stuck!

Recently, I feel like I am stuck. 

When I say recently, it means a few months. 

When I was younger, I imagined myself having achieved a few things before I turned 30. I imagined that I would be married and have a couple of kids. Also, I thought I must have figured out what my career would be and have a successful one. Earning a good amount of money and having financial wiggle room were included in my made-up imagined world where I would have it all. 

When did my stuckness begin? 

I teach English in Japan to children, and sometimes adults, too. It has been a couple of years since I started my job as a full-timer. I accepted the offer because of the pandemic, companies stopped hiring and out of necessity, I accepted the offer after completing my MBA program. 

Until the current academic year began, it was good. I was learning new teaching techniques and testing them out. I learned about different programs and introduced them. I suggested ideas and implemented some of them. However, it started to change this year. I felt like I was doing the same thing over and over again. I mean I did but all the curiosity and challenges that were presented in the past were gone. I started to feel like my brain was going mush. I felt too comfortable in my current job and I am agitated, very much so. 

The stuck feeling comes and goes. When I am very busy with seasonal programs and camps, which I really enjoy, I enjoy my job. However, when I get into my usual academic routine, my mind wanders and starts agitated.

Sometimes, I don't know what to do, and other times, I do. One thing I am sure about is that I want to do something totally different and can bring in additional income. 

To be continued, I guess. :)
