Chase From Within
✨"I thought to myself whether or not I was truly happy. Why was there this perpetual heat lodged in my chest that sat invincibly? Feels weird but you can only notice it when you truly pay deeper attention to how you’re truly feeling." @jhymi
From self-hate to self-acceptance
✨"Do you know one thing about turning a new leaf? It's so easy to say it, it’s so easy to boast about it, heck it's so easy to keep up for a few days or weeks but the real struggle comes when you begin to have triggers and feel demotivated" @ibbtammy
A minimalist wallet: yey or nay?
✨"One night, at a party, while heavily and slightly drunk, that wallet disappeared from my back pocket. The result of losing every single document scaled to a rather bizarre situation: I'd lost my money and bank card, so I needed to cash out some fiat with my ID at the counter, but I'd lost the ID too. To make a new ID, I needed cash (that I couldn't cash out). I suddenly found myself in a doomed loop." @mrprofessor
Simply Rooted In Happiness...
✨"Looking back at the past, it's fair to say that my family was happy despite our struggles then. We lived in a small room and didn't have electronics or fancy things like other families but we were happy. We loved each other wholeheartedly and that helped nurture the feeling." @george-dee
Happiness From Within
✨"Every morning I wake up and go outside barefoot. Earthing myself, that connects each morning, has a profound effect on me. It's my most important daily ritual. To step down from my truck, take a deep breath, take in my surroundings, take in the day that awaits me." @trucklife-family
Happiness Changes...
✨"It seems that sometimes, my tastes just switch up and I am doing new things daily that make me smile. I also realised that these things make themselves known when I am going through an incredibly dark period in my life. Either I find myself just doing something new, or I am doing something I used to do in a very different way. I guess this is what people mean by, as you get older, you change." @deraaa
A Fire Pit With a Hefty Price Tag? No Thanks
✨"I always think it's an act of resistance to reject this dark side of consumerism - I see you, I think, and I'm not emotionally responding to you and hitting the 'buy now' button before having a damn good think about it." @riverflows
𝑴𝒚 𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝑶𝒇 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔
✨"I wish you could take a trip to my phone gallery, then you'll understand what I meant when I say I immerse myself in nature. Some people stand and stare at me in surprise when I begin to capture pretty flowers, birds and skies, little did they know that it is a source of happiness to me." @amiegeoffrey
Simple Things Of Life
✨"No matter how stressful my day is, I try to spend an hour or two with a loved one, and honestly, it makes me happy. Sometimes we don’t do anything but then spending time in their company helps boost my mood." @beeeee
The Pursuit Of Happiness: Just Enough For Each Day
✨"Some days, I have to fight through bad news, bad feelings, aches and pains to make sure I find happiness once again. It's like a daily fight between sadness and happiness but I feel like I was born to win this fight no matter what." @merit.ahama

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 anytime.
Thank you for checking out the #MoreOrLessTheBest Curation Compilation presented by The Minimalist. This is the new official community account, where the weekly #KISS Blog Ideas and all community events and activities will be published.
I invite you all to get involved and share your stories about minimalism, and perhaps you would like to invite someone.
