Hello Hive,
It's @millycf1976 here, introducing you to a new place for you to share content.

The MINIMALIST Community

---

Minimalism is a principle/preference that's innate to some persons, or it's an appreciation/practice that's developed for others.

Minimalism helps to free the mind and facilitates a sense of peacefulness and calm; zen energy.
Living a minimalistic lifestyle involves buying only the necessary things, and only keeping possessions that are in use. It also involves having an appreciation for quality over quantity, and keeping things pure and simple; A spartan approach to luxury, and also things that are subdued and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

My Inspiration for this Community

A Minimalistic lifestyle adopts different principles and many elements to it have proven to be beneficial to my well-being.

If you follow my account, you might be aware of my simplistic off-grid lifestyle; and I have been studying and practicing Yoga and Qi Gong, two alternative remedies that go far beyond physical benefits, and deep into elevating my spiritual awareness. Both practices teach principles that encourage minimalism towards life; inclusive of thoughts, personal needs, respect for the body, letting go of material goods, expectations and attachment to people, conservation of physical energy, and natural resources of the environment.
In essence, minimalism creates space, which allows me to live a simple, fulfilling, and purposeful life with intention.

With that in mind,The Minimalist community was created as a designated place for persons to share all aspects of minimalism.

This is a new independent community that's designed to host and produce quality and informative content on the blockchain. I hope authors will contribute quality posts (great images, content, and short titles), that will catch the eyes of curators across Hive.
Thus there should be community growth and proof that it is worthy of support and value to everyone.

To kick things off, here's my first post to the community.
I invite you all to get involved and share your stories about minimalism, and perhaps you would like to invite someone?
