Don't Forget the Sunscreen by @nickydee
I relish getting lost now. It's a hard-won privilege after a lot of sacrifices and I'll never relinquish this freedom again. I'd rather live in a tent, quite frankly, than give up these moments of living, experiencing and adventuring with my son... The freedom and simplicity of being able to stop and be here right now for a while. I used to feel as though I was running against the clock from waking until f*ck I can’t sleep again. Time. That’s always what I asked for more of.
Nature Is The Best Medicine by @trucklife-family
Nature is here to guide you, as we all navigate our way through the year. Taking the time to slow down and observe what is happening in the natural world around you, is a wonderful reminder of what we also need to be doing. Look to the trees, to the plants, and see how they are responding to the passing of seasons. We too are beings of this earth and if we wish to thrive, we need to reconnect with it more.

Long before the human race existed, nature was there. And it will last till the world breathes. Minimalism and nature go hand in hand. A little dose of minimalism and you will find ways to live to the fullest even with the bare minimum. Although nothing comes near to the beauty nature entails, there is a hidden grandeur in minimalist living that only a few privileged souls thrive on— souls that know how to admire the simplistic life muzzling the greed and jealousy inside.
Simplicity of mind and the habits of childhood by @cira1964

Stress, anxiety and depression sometimes come into our lives when we fall prey to our emotions for too long. Sometimes, we were taught since we were little not to express our feelings and instead to act strong, many of us were taught that no one should see us vulnerable and we create a shell while inside we feel a lot, a very complicated way of living and that sometimes fills us with frustration.
A Verdant Routine by @riz611
The only form of ecotherapy and greenery we have access to right now is within our home. Taking care of our little plants and flowers, sometimes sitting by them on the balcony and reading, maybe having some coffee or tea. If you have a balcony or terrace big enough to accommodate plants and trees, a fair bit of greenery, then you're one of the lucky ones. Yes, there are a fair few people mostly living around the outskirts, who are fortunate enough to be living around open areas, parks and natural lands of green.
This Is Where I Belong by @trucklife-family
The very bright lights, the stale air and the frequent intercom announcements, were all too much for my senses... I really, couldn't help thinking about all those products in each shop and there were a lot of shops. I could only begin to imagine, the amount of waste produced, just to get them to the shelves and then what would eventually b just thrown away, as things come in and out of fashion. I just felt rather uncomfortable and out of place there.
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.
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 from.
I invite you all to get involved and share your stories about minimalism, and perhaps you would like to invite someone.
