I stopped drinking alcohol, gambling, smoking weed and in general living to pleasure seek. I started planning for the future and basing decisions on that. Got my finances in order, and prioritised them over everything. Basically just took responsibility for my life and prioritised appropriately, the things that change will differ for everyone but you just kind of know what you should do and if you do it things get better and just sort of compound over time and your kids get the best version of you that you can be at that time. They act as like plug and play motivation, just sort of instantly change you when they arrive. Different experience for everyone I’m sure, there’s no manual. The sooner you face the reality of your existence though, the more likely you are to address any things that don’t align with who you want to be before they arrive.
