BECOMING INDEPENDANT AGAIN!!!

Before my man and I were together I was so independent and all about taking care of me, it was even like that maybe after the first year we were together. But now 4yrs in, I feel like I have been so dependent on him, including all my time. I use to think I had my head on straight but now I don’t do anything productive for myself. I keep telling myself that I need to better myself and do things for me instead of him, but haven’t. Oh and I've been saying that for the last year and half. If you have any suggestions, they would be much appreciated.

Hi OLVOIL,
My suggestion is to start with baby steps. You know what you want to do, you just can't start things up because it's a change from your lifestyle and people hate change most of the time no matter what they say.
So start out with something small, like maybe taking a 15 minute bath every second day, think of it as an escape into yourself, time spent with yourself, doing it for yourself rather than with or for your husband.
Then expand into something more like taking yoga classes every week, where you actually have to leave the house and spend 2 hours on your own, etc. etc.
Do whatever pleases you, including simply reading a book or a magazine, don't go overboard and start a three-month makeup course or anything like that, too much of a shock to the system. Little steps work, kinda like quitting smoking or learning how to walk.
Hope this helps you some, do let us know how things pan out in the next little while.
