What's the term used for the following?
When you decide to eat a different meal instead of your usual, or go to work on a different route to your usual, just to get a different perpective on things, to get different stimuli, to do things you wouldn't normally do, to see things differently.
Above are just examples. Is there a term or saying/phrase for doing it?

It should be 'to deviate', 'deviation', 'deviance', or the phrase: 'breaking the norm', or, may be 'divergence'.
Or, could there possibly be a new word upon the horizon of good old English language. Now that you have identified a niche in the dictionary pages, and you are, as I have gathered a kind of person who like to change things around, then why not come up with a new world. Something like 'alterite' or 'changification' or, 'thingsmustchange' etc.

Being adventurous. Feeling spontaneous. Just for the heck of it. Playing it by the ear.
