Mindful Monday for Aug. 31

The Mindful Monday for Aug. 31 is on the topics of roommates. Sharing your space is hard, even with the best roommates, but it doesn’t have to be unbearable. There are several proactive ways to create roommate success in your living space. First, know your non-negotiables, but be reasonable. Not everything can be a brick wall for compromise. Ask hard questions up front instead of waiting for issues to bubble up. Make time for fun. Even if you aren’t best friends, scheduling dinner or a TV show once a week can keep you connected.
