Your first sentence “I burn a new incense stick for a change” is a little weird, and I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Did you mean “Instead of burning an old incense stick again, I burnt a new incense stick instead.”?

For the second sentence, it’s more natural to say “Since we always eat Chinese food, why not we eat French food today for a change?”.

“I work as a delivery man for a living.” sounds more natural. For the second sentence, you can omit “for a living” as it makes the sentence sound unnatural. Instead, you can say “She worked as an barista before, so she makes good coffee.” (When you say she worked as a barista before, it is implied that she made coffee while working as a barista, so there’s no need to state that information).

Other example sentences:

“Let’s sleep early this weekend for a change! Maybe it will help us feel more refreshed the next morning!”

“Everyone has to work for a living.”

Hope this helped!☺️

Your examples work perfectly.

Then he thought, what if - for a change - I didn't do everything he asked, unthinkingly?

On the outside I work at the tech company for a living, but making my boss less depressed is my real job.

@thetrees you mean you had to make your boss pleased by complimenting him or listens to him like a counselor?

@Kazuma_San thank you! This is so thoughtful! And yes! That’s exactly what I was trying to say! I’ve been burning an old incense stick and bit tired of it. So I wanted to buy another kind of incense sticks for a change!
