I'm married with a 6 year old and 8 year old and looking for ideas from other people of how they get a buzz/excitement in their lives? I've very content, i love my husband and kids, nice home etc and hobbies i love like singing in choir but i'm keen to get a little bit of the feeling of pride/buzz i used to get in the past. To give some concrete examples, i used to write speeches and do comms for a charity and when someone delivered a speech i wrote or i got an article in a broadsheet i would feel a buzz. Or i would be whizzing off on a train friday night to cornwall for a weekend away. Or securing an award for my school when i started teaching which came with a pay rise. I've been teaching 15 years and, whilst it's fine and i'm good at it, there is zero buzz from it so it won't come from work. Between the behaviour, workload, lack of pay, pressure and crammed curriculum there is no room for fun anymore in teaching. I almost changed jobs this year but it wasn't going to work well with my kids so i decided to stick with teaching for now. So what things do you do that give you a real buzz/massive sense of 'yess!!!' that i can try around work and kids etc. Any ideas welcome! (I didn't like wild swimming although i can see how others do get a buzz from it and long distance running is been there, done that for me.)
