Shifting Focus from Red Flags to Green Flags

In relationships, it is common to focus on identifying red flags, which can lead to negativity and anxiety. Rather than solely concentrating on potential issues, one should consider the importance of recognizing green flags—positive traits and behaviors that indicate a healthy and supportive partner or friend. This shift in perspective encourages individuals to appreciate the good qualities in others, fostering healthier connections. Therapy can aid in this process by helping individuals recognize and affirm these positive traits within themselves and their relationships.
