The first step to solving a problem is to admit you, like all of us, have one. Start by appreciating yourself for seeking answers to those problems. Here are some I've learned along the path:
1. Understand and listen to what causes you suffering and leads to dissonance. For example, what makes you not want to think about technology when you clearly used to love it? What is your emotional response to thinking about not traveling for the next year? Acknowledge the emotions you have and realize the questions will never end.
2. Set intent. What things can you do in your life to enable step #1 to happen faster? Explore your options. There is an answer out here for your question, but it takes you to find it.
3. Keep your intent free of dissonance. Biases, blaming or speaking for others, and rationalizations are indications of dissonance that'll just slow you down and hinder you doing #2.
4. Use #2 to drive putting yourself into situations, in all parts of your life, that encourage #1 to happen faster. You switched teams. Are you willing to switch companies? Careers? Doing #1 is frequently scary. Try to face your fears.
Glad you posted! You aren't the only one going through this, by a long shot.
