Lifestyle changes prompted by existential awareness?

Question

What are some ways that you've altered your life routine to accomodate your existential awareness?

Did you switch careers, abandon material posessions, pursue a cause, change religious views, change your personality...or other? Please explain.

Answer 1

I have basically looked back on my life, and seen how I erred in all the 19 years that I have treaded the paths of this material planet. As you speak, I've also begun giving up material desires (if desires go, possessions are sure to go.) I have tried to make the best use of my mistakes, and churn out results which will probably help me yield rewards as enough to sustain myself and my family. Lastly, I tried making a schedule for the first time ever in my life. :))

Answer 2

I've concluded that happiness is the only good in life, and therefore pursued it with absolute vigor. Thus, I've embraced absolute materialism, structured my life and goals around achieving happiness, and carefully considered and studied what conditions give rise to happiness.
