Like Water: My Simple Way to Recharge


✨"Water had always been a good way of recharging for me. When I feel tired or anxious, I always pour myself some water, just water, not juice, not soda, and as I drink it feels like life slowly returns to me, drop by drop.
Almost like when watering a wilting plant, the energy gently comes back when I accompany it with a good rest." @madilyn02


Alone, Offline, Vibing: My Simple Recharging Routine.


✨"I just sometimes want to be just alone, like I do derive joy being alone at some point, because getting through the day is never easy, so those moments just come and you see me, I lock the doors, shut myself off from people and I am just there, alone with my thoughts." @treasuree


LIKE A PHONE ON LOW BATTERY ALERT


✨"I have a lot of things I engage in that seem to drain me so quickly. I struggle most of the time to keep up with everything around me but thanks to some of the ideas I have learnt from some of the topics I have written here, I have been able to overcome most of them but then, I still get to that point when I just feel even tired to do the things that I should do to get over a certain level. And now that I think about it, the best metaphor that describes the simplicity of how I tend to recharge is like a phone on low battery alert." @hopestylist


Personal Resets


✨"Taking a power nap. This is my favourite because it vividly describes all my regrets. We all know how to take a power nap. You just have to close your eyes and you’re gone. Very straightforward, simple and natural, no complicated mechanisms involved. That’s how I would describe my rejuvenation process. It’s quick but powerful, and most times, it’s around nature: either at the beach watching the waves or at my window listening to the chirping of birds." @abenad


Removing The Stone, Charging Mode


✨"I don't underestimate the power of rest, especially for someone like me who has come to appreciate life and good health. Just like how we leave our phones unplugged, which eventually dies, so do we when we don't pause to take a break. As simple as lying down on the bed or taking a nap, which I don't fail to do every single day, it's like plugging myself in to refuel my energy." @princessbusayo


By that window...


✨"On my way back from work daily, sitting in a bus that's taking me home, I love to just tune out everything that tugs at my insides. The deadlines to meet, whatever work I have kept aside to be done that evening, I tune it all out and take my time away from it all. Doing life can be very exhausting sometimes, and so, I look forward to moments like these. Moments where I don't have to fixate on anything in particular, rather I just have to look on, as things happen around me." @oluchi31


Breathing Again


✨"My daily activities are always hectic and most times chaotic. I would say to myself that I would cut down on certain things, but when I place them on a scale of preference, I realise that they are all important and I just have to do them to have a better life. Do I break down? Yes, I do, I have had nights where I just say to myself that I can’t do this anymore. Nights when I would even cry, but still, I have no choice but to continue." @beeeee


Feeding the bird that I am...


✨"When I was a child, they had a costume party at my school. At home, there was no money to buy a costume and no money to buy cloth to make a costume. But my grandmother, who took care of me and my sisters, managed to put two pieces of cloth behind my back and told me that those were wings, that if anyone asked me what I was, to tell them I was a bird and if they didn't think you were a bird, sing." @nancybriti1


Killing Two Birds With One Stone.


✨"Eating healthy meals also counts as recharging because we need food to recharge physically. So, my time in the kitchen does a combo recharging for me, just like sleeping; it's fun doing less for more." @george-dee


The Urge To Live Large


✨"I can't even drive a car or talk less of buying one now. Only if I had a car, it would have been less stressful for me to get feedstuff for my fish. I can buy a couple of feeds, stock them in the trunk of the vehicle, and drive home with ease. Compared to the stress I have to pass through going to and fro, packing up the bags of feed one after the other, and then getting a vehicle for the chatter that will take me to the next bus stop before I can take another to my farm." @abdul-qudus

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.
