Hello everyone,

It's Monday. Not that I'm excited about anything this week, I just feel it's another week to get better on the things I'm working on. For example, I'm enjoying my Spanish, I think I'm improving faster compared to last year when I was frustrated for the most part. My lifestyle is a very simple one and today we examine it using this prompt provided by the community.

I enjoy writing about my lifestyle and my growth process and that is why I'm so focused on these prompts since I discovered the community. You too can write to them if they interest you. I would be looking forward to reading your publications.

You can find the prompts here

In this week's prompt about Lifestyle, I would answer some of the questions posed.

Q1 - Do you live a low-consumption Lifestyle and how does this affect your health and well-being?

I think I've answered this question before, it is a case of me having to live a low-consumption lifestyle because I'm all alone. Over the years, The number of offline friends I have has drastically reduced. I could stay indoors for days without anybody noticing. I eat once or max twice every day not because I can't afford a 3 Square meal but because my routines don't allow me to.

I have bad eating habits as I don't eat too much at the right time. For example, I rarely have breakfast because I sleep in the mornings. Weird right? Maybe.

As for my health and well-being, I think a low-consumption lifestyle helps me save costs and also allows me a range of different meals.

I don't eat alot but I eat healthily. My well-being is always in check and I feel healthy or rather I can't trace any health issues to my meals.

A look at my lifestyle, it's easy to suggest improvements however, some of these things come at a cost. A low-consumption life works for me. I think all I have to do is to work on my timings.

Q2 - What are some of your Minimalist Lifestyle Practices? What impact do you think your practices have on the environment?

I have alot of them that people find annoying sometimes because it is something they don't expect from me. I don't know when they would realize that I'm a different person now.

• Spending Habits: I have stopped spending money like I use to. I'm fond of always helping people whenever they ask and not only has this privilege been abused, I've come to realize that it affects me in the long run.

I've always been the go-to guy when my friends need money. Sometimes they are truly in need but other times they just want to collect from me.

Recently, I've started to simplify my spending, practicing the principle of minimalism. Spending on only what I need with a little budget for charity

• Rules: It's weird but I've created rules that would see me stay indoors more and allow friends to visit less. I feel more comfortable in my space and for now, I enjoy more time staying alone.

My friends don't like it as they always want to be around. I understand that they feel I've started this routine out of my loss. However, the reason doesn't matter as I enjoy it.

I have started these practices cautiously and it has helped me as I now understand myself better. Question 3 On the prompt inquiries if my ideologies are different from my family and peers.

Yes! they are different from friends, however, It's a family trait. I have been different all along but it's gradually making sense why I enjoy leaving this way.
