What are they, you ask? Green flags are signs that are relationship is healthy! They are dynamics and behaviors we give and receive such as respectful communication, honesty & accountability, non-threatening behavior, trust & support, shared responsibility, and independence & autonomy. Green Flags can show up in big overarching ways in our relationships or they can be those small ways to show love. Green flags are what make your heart sing—they leave us feeling valued, being able to laugh together, supporting each other’s goals, and respecting each other’s boundaries. Today, we invite you to reflect on your own relationship green flags. What makes your connections thrive? Share your thoughts with us! 💚
