I'm 39 and just feel like I'm in a rut. My career is going fine, but it just doesn't excite me the way to used to. Sometimes I think changing jobs or moving would shake things up but I don't know if that is a long-term solution. Are these feelings of boredom and unfulfillment a me problem or just part of being an "adult"?
