How to be more independent

So nothing cruel but I spend LOADS of my time with my boyfriend. We're going strong and have a serious good relationship but I want to distance myself to a few days to almost a week to show him I'm not dependent on him , which I think he notices I'm very needy and love being around him. I want to do little things for myself everyday starting at least tomorrow. Any tips on how you ladies still have a boyfriend but still maintain your true self and don't get depressed when you're not with him? Any stories or advice? 😇
