5 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Getting Into a Relationship

Relationships come and go and sometimes we are prepared when entering in them and sometimes we are not. As time changes and we grow, the more solid you are in your personal foundation you will see that maybe you are ready to step into the relationship of your dreams.

I'm currently in a relationship and to be honest I wasn't ready to get into a relationship when I did. Realizing that now of course I don't want to leave my babe but I'm definitely more intentional in my actions when it comes to me. It's easy to feel yourself getting lost in a relationship when your foundation isn't solid. If you are feeling lost in your relationship I would say to start with some self care rituals to get back to you! Thats the first step.

I would also self analyze yourself while your are not in a relationship. Ask yourself a few basic questions to make sure you are really ready or somewhat prepared. Here are a few questions I think everyone would should ask before partnering up!

1) Who am I?

This is major! If you don't know yourself how do you expect anyone to figure you out. Make sure that you have a clear understanding of your current likes, dislikes, morals, values, etc.

2) Am I over my ex?

This is key too! Why hop into a new relationship when you still feel connected to your ex and miss them to the point you feel like there could be a second chance. It's a lot less complicated and not fair to the person you are dating, yourself or your ex. Figure out your past situation on your own free from commitment. It will make your life a lot less stressful. I know it can get lonely out here but get a body pillow, plant, fish, stuffed animal lol anything that can fill that physical void.

3) Do I have my own routine?

This is critical! Especially if you all are going to cohabitate with your partner. Living in close quarters can distract your from yourself especially if you and bae have a similar 9-5 schedule. It's easy to get distracted when you get home get the talking hours could pass and you haven't even checked in with yourself after a day of work.

4) What are my hobbies?

Make sure you have your own personal interests. It doesn't matter what it it is but to have things that spark passion in you individually. It's sexy and its cool to introduce your partner to new things and/ or show them what you are passionate about.

5) What are my Career Goals?

Stay focused. This is still your life individually and you deserve to be successful in whatever you are working toward. Never loose site in what you are suppose to bring in to the world.

I hope this helps you on your journey to love and if you are already in a relationship helps with the first steps to getting refocused on yourself!
