Outstanding Minimalists Blogs in no particular order.

Sunday, football & Me

✨"I’m a football lover but not much of a noisemaker. Watching live matches, especially those involving two fiery teams, and laughing at the banter that comes with it is a whole lot of refreshment. It has a way of rewiring my body system, and at that moment, even if I was heartbroken before watching the match, that pain goes away." @kingsleyy

My Coping Mechanisms

✨"Whenever I am in charge of my emotions I have less emotional breakdowns, in that moment I know the things I need to react to and the ones I'd let slide, and this results in making me calmer than I can ever be. If your emotions are everywhere trust me you’d react to almost everything, things that are not relevant." @ibbtammy

Finding Serenity In Today's Society.

✨"My family and a few friends know quite well that once I start listening to music at the least expected place, there is something uncomfortable about the environment I am in. It could be a random noise, a cluttered space, or someone even talking too much around me." @george-dee

A tree in the city 🌱

✨"I woke up that day with a great need and I didn't know what it was. I'm happy, I feel happy, I'm comfortable where I am and who I'm with, but that day I realized how much I wanted my connection, my grounding cable, my outlet, my exhaust pipe." @purpleglitter

Routine, Reflection, and Real Friends

✨"If I was invited anywhere, I would say yes before even figuring out if I wanted to go. Because of this, I frequented clubs and house parties. Deep down, as I would attend these events, my inner self constantly asked me why I was doing this." @zitalove

WEEK#8: Releasing My 'Feeling Guilty' With Mindfulness Exercise

✨"When I'm still reckless with my social media usage, my mind is a mess. I sometimes think a lot of unnecessary things about the future. I fear things that haven't happened yet or even that might not happen. In my head, these worrisome thoughts kept popping up and intertwining, causing me to have frequent panic attacks. From there, the idea of digital minimalism started." @titisnariyah

KISS # 124 - Closer Each Other By Giving

✨"According to Danshari, that it is necessary to maintain the metabolism of space to stay fresh by sorting out suitable, necessary, and comfortable items. So the items that I usually get rid of are clothes." @viviehardika

Not A Public Space

✨"Sometimes I even felt like this wasn’t my kind of thing but maybe I needed that change so I thought. It took me months before I was finally able to cancel on them most times I was invited out for parties, clubbing, and the rest. I made it look like I had other plans, well my other plans were to stay home reading a new book I just got or maybe stay home see a movie, or sleep." @beeeee

Socially Simple.

✨"Growing up, there was a common adage here that says "it's only when you celebrate with people, others will celebrate with you," and many Nigerian kids grew up with this mentality because it wouldn't make any sense for people not to show up on your big day." @george-dee

Minimalist Socializing

✨"Being a minimalist, I have always preferred being calm and handling situations with patience rather than being mad. For this instinct, I have also chosen similar types of people rather than the opposite. And this particular choice helped me severely in my social life while mixing with people." @minhajulmredol

Some additional 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 original photos taken by you. Photos count toward the possibility of your post being curated.

🔸 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 long 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.

🔸 You do not need 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.
