ou have the right to set your own priorities and they can be different than other people's priorities!

The trick is that some people may not like for you to have different priorities than they do they.

How do you stay resolute with these differences? But, it all starts with you recognizing your own priorities!

What are some of the red flags of negative and potentially abusive relationships?

On the list - Love bombing. When, usually at the beginning of the relationship, expressions of love and affection abound. However, the love bombing ends and it has an element of inauthenticity.

The love bombing can also feel slightly overwhelming and so great, it's a little too hard to believe which has the quality of throwing off the other person in the relationship. This is another red flag but, I'll mention that in another post.

Just 1 red flag doesn't mean you've snagged a bad relationship necessarily but, one red flag after another ... that's when to really take notice.
