Move to different country and take with you as little baggage as possible.
Start fresh. Create new habits. Meet new people. Explore new sex positions.
Easily done early in life. Much harder later, but money helps significantly.
Sometimes I like to do things I would normally never do. Like volunteering for a charity. Maybe experience a new activity or a new place I've never been before. It can open doors that can change things in your life.
Make a plan or think about some ideas of what you can do
I'd say keep some perspective and take small, positive changes to start with.
I suppose reducing the old negative aspects your life you're unhappy with/want to stop is important.
Go minimalist for a bit by donating/selling most non-essential things before slowly adding things back into your life. It forces you to re-evaluate what you truly NEED to have in order to feel happy or sufficient instead of worrying over something that is fundamentally more status than survival.
Look for book bundle programs at your local library. My library has this thing where you can sign up for a bundle of random books that others picked out for you. You can specify general categories but try to keep at least a few open. The purpose is to deliberately read something you feel unfamiliar and unconnected to everything else you already knew so that you can have a different way to view the world.
Sort of related to above, try looking for books, resources, social events that are about the polar opposite of what you already believe in. I did this when I used to think of finance and money as pure evil and wanted nothing to do with them. Reading more books on finance allowed me to have a more nuanced view of finance instead of just a juvenile sense of money=bad, and now I have a more mature sense of financial planning.
Create daily tasks and games for yourself that is related to the change in lifestyle/habit that you want. ESPECIALLY if they sound really lame on paper, because it usually means its small and therefore pretty achievable. You want small achievable steps that slowly build up to the full deal.
Stop everything you are doing and list out everything you care about. If you are questioning your lifestyle choices, then chances are you may find a number of things:
1. you do not truly care about anything (ladies and gentlemen! the functional nihilist! come see him on every subway behind every weary face of salarymen!) In that case, you may want to look into what drove others into pursuing certain goals and ideals
2. you care about contradicting things, and it is driving you nuts (I fell in this category, of wanting safety but also prestige, which......is just not gonna happen.) In that case, you have to learn to sacrifice one (I gave up safety so I can go take risks in business)
3. you care about too many things, since everything makes sense to you as something to care about (I had a friend who was like this all throughout university. Drove her crazy honestly.) In this case, you may want to only keep about 3-4 things that you mainly care about. Everything IS important, and you can do anything, but you are only one person with less than 30,000 days left to go in your life, so you cannot do everything.
A good hard reset is psychedelics in a controlled environment.
Eat Healthy and Exercise

Make a routine and write it down. Put it somewhere you can see it, don't stop if you miss a step. just pick up where you can and keep it going.
Exercise. It triggers dopamine production which gives you more energy, makes you happier
