Start a budget.

That might sound odd, but a budget isn't just a way to limit your spending/saving, it's a way to prioritize it. Choose some things you want to explore spending money on and budget for that. Then when you have saved enough do it. It could be an experience, a new set of saucepans(seriously, upgrade your pans if you enjoy cooking! You'll still love your cast iron but you'll be able to do so much more), a trip, or a donation.

I somewhat agree with other commenters who are saying don't change, but you clearly want to. So setting up a budget to allow yourself the permission to spend the money you are earning in ways that make sense to you seems like one possible solution.
