Relationship green flags! From @seenandsafe

We often discuss red flags in relationships, but green flags are important to be conscious of as well. Some other examples of green flags are:

- their words align with their actions and behaviors
- they are able to apologize
- they honour and respect your boundaries
- they don't compare you to others
- they contribute equally to shared responsibilities
- they encourage your relationships with friends and family

Grounding techniques are a wonderful resource that can be used to calm the mind and body when one is experiencing symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, or an emotional trigger.

There are many ways to practice grounding, but this technique is easy to remember. Grounding brings us into the 'now', and can help with self-regulation.

Give it a try. 🖤

Thanks to @galileohealth for this infographic!
