Outstanding Minimalist Blogs in no particular order.

THE COURAGE TO BE

✨"I’m battling with negative self-talk. The moment things start going the other way, I start putting all the blame on myself and start becoming less appreciative of myself in any way. If there is one thing I want to eliminate so badly from my life, it has to be this negative self-talk. I want my mind to always be filled with the most beautiful positive thoughts all the time because that’s the only way I can easily win against myself (the negative one)." @hopestylist

Reuse is giving things a second chance.

✨"Reuse the things we have is a way to give a second chance to materials, this has several advantages such as: minimize waste to the maximum, save money, avoid wasting things that can be repaired or reused, which contributes to a decrease in waste and energy thus helping our planet to be preserved for longer." @liyuxiexie

The ability to be aware of the environment and reflect on it

✨"This time was specifically full of yellow leaves on many floors that I have walked on, for me it has been a time of much reflection, of realizing in my inner self and learning something new from what surrounds me. These leaves on the ground give beauty after having been detached by the breeze of his life in the branches of the tree, making me think about the way I chase myself when I go through difficult situations." @jemima1996

The One Thing I Want to Remove and the One I Can’t Let Go

✨"I love to handle things on my own and wouldn’t ask for help unless I am left with no other option. On no account would I ever say, "I need you to help me with this," until I started making conscious efforts to change. But even now, it's still something I find hard to eliminate because I naturally prefer doing things alone." @princessbusayo

Miss “Nothing goes to the bin”

✨"Even after getting all the ingredients, I was very hesitant because I had no idea what I was doing. Right from the onset, I knew that although the whole point was to save the overripe bananas from going to waste, any little mistake was going to mean wasting more than just a bunch of bananas. This thought alone made me pay attention to what I was doing." @abenad

Everything changes, everything transforms

✨"At my age, I have very little shame in recognizing my flaws, because I know that perfection does not exist, but although I accept myself and do not devalue myself for them, I am trying to work on those behaviors that detract from me as a person. As I tell my friends, I work on my operating system daily." @nancybriti

The reconstruction of a custom

✨"For as long as I can remember, I have had an unhealthy diet, mainly because it is cultural to eat mostly sugars, flours and all those things that are not good for the body and that are admittedly delicious. This way of eating obviously, at the beginning you do not see any kind of consequence because you are young and your body, but there came a point where it begins to notice sequelae." @jemima1996

Cutting Corners Not Ties...

✨"My financial life gives me concern a lot of the time, and it's not like I don't have a solution for myself. I do, but taking the easy route to solving this issue doesn't sit well with me. I remember some years ago, while having a deep conversation with a friend and he said something that left me troubled for days." @george-dee

The Final Letting Go? (Transformation Thursday)

✨"The heavier we become and with all our baggage, the harder it is to keep moving. It's why it is so important to keep shedding, in all areas of our lives. Life is all about flow.
Flow in our movement, flow in our thoughts. It's not good to try and hold on to too much in life. And yet, we have been redesigned to do just that. I say redesigned, because as the years have gone by, the more aggressive the wheels of conformity have been turning." @trucklife-family

My Happiness Blueprint (No Price Tag Required)

✨"I can’t exactly place how long, but I’ve always had a clear mental picture of the kind of woman I want to become. It's like I can see clearly how she dresses, how she’s addressed, how she talks, walks, just everything. Working on myself every day brings me closer to being that woman, and the closer I get, the happier I feel." @whatmidesays

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.
