Without bringing new standards based on mindfulness and minimalism in your life's repertoire, it's mighty difficult to even phantom achieving any type of control and awareness in the future. The presence of these in your new life and career are priceless. Not only do they afford you more freedom, they also allow you to accomplish something deeper and more meaningful on a daily basis.
Minimalism is an art in and of itself: it opens up the paradoxical experience of having and doing less while gaining more. And although that is often easier said than done, minimalism is far from a radical lifestyle. It's main purpose is to allow you to be the master of the things you posses and to be able to only acquire that which is of function and which positively impacts you. That's why the common way to explain minimalism is through the principle of Less is More—because we often find the true use and the true meaning of things through less. Cut the superfluous and see the essence—see the value.
In terms of blogging, it's about finding perspective. Asking yourself the right questions. Why am I blogging? What do I want to create? Who do I want to be? Where do I want to go with it? How will this journey make me feel? This is day one.
Additionally, The Minimalists have also written a fantastic guide to starting a successful blog in 2017, which includes very simple step-by-step instructions that will add a lot of value to you.
