Question by : How can I grow outside of my relationship?
When in a relationship I tend to focus more on my relationship with that person rather than my relationship with just myself. My boyfriend and I have a relationship that keeps growing stronger, but I want to grow as an individual too. Do you have any tips on how I can spend time on myself while still maintaining a healthy relationship with my boyfriend?
We spend a lot of time together, and when we’re not together he’s usually on my mind.

best advice is to really just get some more activities, if you dont do anything you should pick something new up.
it really is important to grow outside your relationship. something to where you can divide your attention if you ever need the release.
so set aside some alone time with the girls
or read a book, yoga,etc but do it alone.
it will really make your relationship stronger, and better yourself as an individual

I’m answering this from a guy’s perspective, but I understand what you’re saying. One thing I suggest, is make sure you have some “you time”. Where you just do something which you enjoy, alone. This will allow you to relieve any stress, think about anything, and just appreciate the time with your boyfriend even more. I hope you figure out what you need.
