✨"Over the past two years, I've shifted my focus to many different aspects and tried to test my limits. Whether it be work or hobbies, now it was the wrong decision. One person can only focus on one thing at a time. " @riz611
Dialing Things Back A Notch

✨"And one thing about doing projects in groups is that you get to work with different folks. There are some people who are so lazy, they wouldn't even show up for anything at all. There are some who thinks that just contributing financially is enough." @terjix
What I Really Need... Checking Beneath The Surface

✨"Being able to make decisions is important in our lives. People often say that today's decisions shape tomorrow, and I completely agree with that. Both good and bad decisions have consequences, sometimes with a ripple effect." @phyna
My Life Essentials.

✨"Times like this are just inevitable, and it just reminds us of how valuable and important it is to be healthy mentally, physically, and emotionally. Everything a human would become has a great connection with our health, and since there is no happiness without a stable health, good health is automatically a need for me." @george-dee
Bask In The Moment

✨"In a country like mine, and I’m sure it’s same for other countries, an activity like that could get you into some serious issues. One, because you don’t want someone that may have been in a bad mood already to go ballistic on you for staring. And two, you don’t want to attract the predators who may think your gaze at them is a show of interest or.... consent." @jhymi
BEYOND THE SURFACE: MY PATH TO INNER PEACE

✨"Meandering through life can be a tussle if you always find it hard to give the right answers to those questions we are faced with daily. I remember running away some days ago from this question because I felt I don’t think I could give the right answer to it." @hopestylist
The Wind-Breath Moves Through The Rib-Clouds

✨"I can't help but think all this incessant doing isn't as important as the things that most people would say are traditionally not-doing. Lying on the back deck listening to raga with the pelicans flying over head and the clouds like a giant rib cage with the wind-breath cold between the white bones. " @riverflows
Peaceful Living.

✨"With these things under my control, it's easier for me to cope wherever I find myself. I remembered when I moved into my apartment, it was the kind of environment I have always wanted. Quiet, calm, and peaceful, but it's been three years plus, and so many things have changed." @george-dee
Inexpert Skincare

✨"Another key person who tells me to take care of my skin is my wife. I'll be honest, if she wasn't pushing me as hard, I wouldn't put in half the effort I put in now. Before I used whatever I got my hands on, cheap, expensive, and even expired; I'm not even kidding haha. However, after getting married, I've been "feeling myself" a lot." @riz611
FINDING CALM IN EVERYDAY SIMPLICITY

✨"An aspect of true and healthy relaxation is being able to get away from unnecessary noise and stress, as well as cutting my screen time. Most of my daily activities somewhat revolve around digital screens, which can be stressful for my eyes. Of course, to be honest, I do enjoy scrolling through social media, but I wouldn’t consider it a preferable choice for relaxation." @lizizoo

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.
