Sometimes, the best option for managing your relationships is to strike a bargain that works for everyone.

Demonstrating that you can be flexible will often help your tribe to be more flexible as well. 

For example, negotiating a way for a housemate to buy food they like, but that isn’t overly tempting for you.

Or, changing the time that you workout or meditate to accommodate your family can also help to resolve resistance.

Being flexible doesn’t mean compromising your lifestyle. It’s that careful balance that promotes harmony while allowing you to stay on course.
