Want to ruin a relationship? Do this.

What’s one of the quickest ways to ruin a relationship?

Paranoia.

Think about it. How healthy would your relationship be if your partner had constant suspicions that you were cheating on them? Pretty unhealthy.

They would lose trust in you regularly and subconsciously force you to prove yourself repeatedly. That would get exhausting quickly.

The same is true for non-intimate relationships.

Think about a close work peer. What if they routinely thought you were trying to one-up them and get the promotion over them. What type of hostility would that create?

When you are paranoid, you are unlikely to make the best decision.

Whether that’s in your marriage, your work relationships, or even your marketing.

When fear drives your decisions–which it does when you’re paranoid–you’re likely to make a poor decision.

Life is all about decisions.
Marketing is also all about decisions.

And one way to make better decisions is to be less paranoid.

But how do you do that?

Call your therapist.
