Do you think your romantic relationships are messing up with your personal branding,  career, and business? Watch the video to find out. 

Romantic relationships closely affect our process to build our personal brand. They impact us emotionally, mentally and physically.

3:08 The red flags start.
1. Feeling confused in a relationship
You are either happy or not. Period. If you have to figure out what is happening in your relationship every day, then it’s a red flag. It’s even exhausting. You are either appreciated or not. And you will know if you are appreciated. If you feel someone is not appreciating you, then trust your feelings. This applies to not only romantic relationships but all the other kinds of relationships. There is something called ancient wisdom that all of us have. That’s our guts, the sixth sense. Never ignore it. I have wasted most of my 20s figuring people out while people who understood me were standing right next to me. I hope you don’t waste your time as I did.

2. You are consistently unhappy
Red flags, in the beginning, will turn into bigger problems later. You can’t rely on someone else to make you happy all the time but if you are consistently unhappy, then maybe it’s the time to leave. Because you might have heard if someone is making you cry all the time, then you should ask yourself you are in a relationship with a person or an onion.

3. Toxic Communication
Researchers have shown three ways to communicate in a romantic relationship: Mutual constructive; Demand withdrawal, and Mutual Avoidance. Mutual constructive communication strengthens your relationships where couples talk about the solutions. If you are doing that, congratulations, you are doing great. Demand withdrawal is when one criticizes, and another always has to explain themselves. And one person always avoids communication. It’s a very significant red flag. Mutual avoidance is when you are happy at the moment, but there is always an underlined anxiety that there is something unsaid, and you are not talking to each other about that. That is when two people, slowly, grow apart.

4. You are the one putting all the efforts
This point is self-explanatory. So, I’m gonna stop here. (chuckle) Nope, I’m not. There is no certain way you can measure the amount of effort both of you put into your relationship. But, if you are the one who is always open to communication and the other person is not; the other person always focuses on the problems and not the solutions, and tests you constantly, then it’s a red flag too.

5. They only appreciate your ideal self
This hits me home the deepest. I come out as this confident, focused, and put-together woman with the leadership attributes, but I am a human being with flaws. And when someone appreciates only the fearless persona of mine, but not when I am vulnerable, I should definitely see the red flag. I stayed in the relationship longer than I should have when I wasn’t appreciated for who I was. I hope you are not doing the same. As the saying goes, “If you don’t love me at my worse, then you do not deserve me at my best.”

6. Values
It’s a huge word. First of all, you should define your values and if your values don’t align with theirs, then you may not wanna stay in the relationship. RUN!!! Or, CHASE THEM AWAY…
