Be madly in love with the simplest thing by @pinkchic
I have been madly in love with the simplest things that surround me not to mention that a simple smile brightens my day; a gentle hug soothes my soul; a loud laugh heals my broken heart; a sound sleep relaxes my mind, and every golden memory is a blessing.
The Path To Freedom by @trucklife-family
Freedom is a state of mind, with the biggest thing that imprisons us, being our thoughts. It is our thoughts that affect how we live, and how we view ourselves and those around us. Our thoughts are what become our reality.
My mind has been simplified 🙇🏻♀️ by @purpleglitter
If my closet or my work desk is clean, tidy, and stocked with only what I need, my mind will most likely be clean, tidy, and stocked with only what I need.
When I discovered the relationship between these things, my emotions and thoughts began to simplify. I began to realize what situations were robbing me of the peace and harmony I wanted.
Sublime! I don't practice Santeria, I practice minimalism by @grindan
Earlier in the week, I moved furniture around- I like to do this every few months. Something feels invigorating about refreshing and recreating a space- AND it gives you an opportunity to deep clean! My goal in this is always to reduce visual clutter.
Repurpose - Minimalist Lifestyle by @meyateingi
This is eco styling gel container, after using I decided not to throw it away, instead, I washed it and put my beads, rubber bands, and other tiny hair accessories in there. Instead of keeping them in nylon which might tear or on the table where they might fall off.
The Life Changer by @teknon
My small room was getting stuffy and overcrowded with unnecessary things making the space so uncomfortable for me, depriving me of good sleep, and creating a path for mental disorder.
I wasn't at peace at all...
Be a Minimalist and be Simple by @hopestylist
As a minimalist, I always do what I know I can do and worry less about the things I can't do. So many times we are so concerned about what we can't do instead of focusing more on the little we can do
Keeping it Simple by @riz611
A few rusty weights and a decent few machines were enough to keep me busy with pumping iron. As I got fitter and maintained a very consistent and simple diet, I realized that this was all a person needs. A fit body, a calm mind, your loved ones around you, and a gig that you can tolerate, one that is enough to put a roof over your head and food on the table.
Minimalist life, habits that make us grow - Personal experience by @jemima1996
The disorder in our house influences us negatively, seeing that something is dirty or full of things causes us much discomfort and even if we are not at home, we have this thought permanently in mind "I have so many things to do when I arrive" or "I do not have a tidy space to work comfortably" and although it seems not, this negatively influences our performance during the day, a dirty and messy place can leave us mentally exhausted because we do not feel calm.
Freedom through minimalism by @young-boss-karin
Rather than have a thousand pieces of cheap clothing that I'll barely use, I make do with only a few expensive ones that I use until I can get rid of them. It's functional and efficient.
Minimalist lifestyle help my Physical and Emotional well-being by @johnbenn
Freedom is being free, of obstruction, barriers, and unwanted desires in our state of mind.
Some tips
🔸 The community encourages authors to engage and build rapport with other team members by leaving meaningful comments.
🔸 If possible we recommend that authors try to use personal photos, however, if free images from the internet are used, please be sure to cite all relevant sources for photos and text.
🔸 Just a reminder that the weekly #KISS Blog Ideas is presented with ideas on topics to write about and to help you to structure your blogs, they are not meant to be questionnaires for you to list information and publish.
🔸 The presentation of your blog goes a far way and sharing aspects of your lives and your personal stories and experiences should be a lot more than a list that can be found in various places over the web.
🔸 There's no need for you to wait or only blog in response to the prompts provided. You're free to share any aspect of your minimalist lifestyle at any time.
