An alternative to needing to seek novelty would be to cultivate equanimity. Past me would have shared your desire to find ways to have novelty, but present me is more equanimous and so more indifferent between different conditions (not totally indifferent, of course, just not different on so many dimensions). In a scenario where people are living forever, they’d have plenty of time to stumble in to something like a spiritual practice with meditation that would help them better cope with the long forever.
