Don't ignore the Red Flags!
At times we ignore the red flags because we want to see the good in people. If you have ever ignored the red flags, you most certainty learned your lesson in the end. I can tell you countless of stories of all the times i ignored red flags and how the situation almost destroyed me. Ignoring red flags aren't just in relationships. But they are also in jobs, cars, apartments, houses and more. Some of these situations cannot only cause burn out, but heart attacks, strokes and nervous breakdowns. Nothing is more heartbreaking than watching yourself go from a healthy, working individual to not knowing who you are any more and needing care or someone to care for you because you ignored the red flags and tried to remain strong in the situation.
What is considered a red flag you might ask. Red flags by definition is a flag used as a warning of danger. Let that sink in. A Warning! Meaning do not pass go, STOP, make a U-turn, exit stage left, get out of there. You understand? Good.
Now that we have an understanding of why we should ignore red flags, don't attempt to paint another flag white! You see that red flag, RUN! Do not ignore your non-negotiables, do not allow anyone to cross your boundaries. No means NO. Do not allow anyone to manipulate you and definitely do not allow anyone to gaslight you. Remember, It's Okay to tell yourself NO. You do not have to accept any and everything. There is patience in waiting.
