minimal, optimal, essential, intentionalism…?
I have stumbled across the minimalism group… the internet world of peoples who follow minimalism blogs and videos and podcasts….
They all want to tell us there are no rules to follow these practices.. but then you read “the rules are”…?
To be minimalists you need to do this… then they say its up to you. You need to find what fits for you with minimalism, simple living, essentialism and living your life intentionally.

Minimalism is all about living with less. This includes less financial burdens such as debt and unnecessary expenses. … For many minimalists, the philosophy is about getting rid of excess stuff and living life based on experiences rather than worldly possessions.

yes. It’s also the title of a book by Cal Newport. https://www.calnewport.com/books/digital-minimalism/ He writes a philosophy for technology that suggest we get off our devices, off social media and live a real life. Technology is intrinsically neither good nor bad. The key is using it to support your goals and values, rather than letting it use you.

I’m a registered nurse working in Aged Care… which used to be a respectable thing. Now staff in aged care is portrayed in a bad way.
Why? because residents are getting Covid 19 and they never left the facility – it was brought in to them. Same as Norovirus, Influenza etc. All staff working with the residents come and go. We have families, we have needs, we go shopping, supermarkets, butchers, doctors, restaurants, schools. We do our best. e don’t want to pass anything onto the residents intentionally, nor do we want to bring a disease home to our children, our families, our loved ones.

Bitter Melon Tea
Bitter melon grows in tropical areas, including parts of the Amazon, east Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean, and is cultivated throughout South America as a food and medicine. It’s a slender, climbing annual vine with long-stalked leaves and yellow, solitary male and female flowers borne in the leaf axils. The fruit appears as a warty gourd, usually oblong and resembling a small cucumber. The young fruit is emerald green, turning to orange-yellow when ripe. At maturity the fruit splits into three irregular valves that curl backwards and release numerous brown or white seeds encased in scarlet arils.
