While you're doing things differently, recognize that while your behaviour has changed, or your pattern of behaviour has changed, you remain the same. Changing your behaviour doesn't make you any less you.
Once you play around with that for a bit, try it out internally by changing around some of your beliefs. For example, if you defend a meat-eating diet, try looking into the benefits of a vegetarian diet. Or, if you believe that baseball is the best sport in the world, and despise basketball, try changing your beliefs on that and start watching basketball for a while.
The concept will expand your awareness if you start to play with the maleable nature of our Ego selves. Think of it almost like you're an actor playing a part. Once you internally experience that you are not your beliefs, things will be much easier for you to change.
To start with, changing your route home is a good starting point
