I still struggle with this, too, Marie. I haven't completely figured it out (and I don't think I ever will), but what helps me is making sure that none of the different areas of my life become my sole purpose. It requires constant awareness and reflection. I'm currently dating someone, but I make sure to still spend enough time with my friends. The same goes for my job - if I feel crammed with my work schedule, I make sure to remind myself that work is just work, and I schedule time for my creative pursuits and don't neglect them. Essentially, I'm trying to balance everything in my life. Especially with my creative work, I sometimes isolate myself to write at the weekend. Still, I remind myself that I also need social time with my friends, which is also good for my creativity.
Approaching things naturally this way helps me avoid becoming unhealthily attached to different areas of my life. For example, I sometimes see friends who start dating someone and totally disconnect themselves from their social life. You also see this with married couples, and I'm thinking, why?
