Time for a little... CONTEST!
We've been enjoying getting to know more about your minimalist insights and mindfulness practices. We love a backstory, but we're also aware that when stepping onto the blockchain, we tend to put our best foot forward.
So we thought we'd design a little contest that does the opposite of that. Instead of telling us how good you are at walking past sales windows and how you didn't get that overpriced skirt last week, we want your struggles, your elephant-sized pile in the room.
What are you struggling to get rid of? Or maybe there's one area of your life where minimalism just can't seem to apply, no matter how hard you try to. It's fine, we all have that one thing, which is why we thought it might be fun to get it out in the open.
Make it funny, or insightful or take this opportunity to have a little heart-to-heart. We've got your back.
🗣Tell us your secret, it's safe with us!
QUESTION:
"Do you have a guilty pleasure—that one particular thing that you hoard—that goes against your minimalist ethos?"
Here are some ideas on what you could do.
You may write about the onset of your hoarding habit; whether before or after you embark on your minimalist journey.
Your reasons for hoarding such items.
Do you fear being judged as a minimalist if your secret is revealed?
Share what you feel about your bad habit and your goals to overcome.
Or, if you take the topic literally; share with us your decluttering plans,
Be creative, have fun, and make that extra effort to make your post stand out.

PRIZES
There's a grand prize pool of 40 Hive in total.
1st place wins 25 HIVE
2nd place wins 10 HIVE
3rd place wins 5 HIVE
That's everything covered on our part.
We would, however, remind everyone that this is a minimalist community. While reading about other people's guilty pleasures and hoarding habits is generally fun, we're only looking for input from practising, authentic minimalists. So please only join the Cleanin' Out My Closet initiative if you are one.
And just remember - this is a contest with rules and limited time. Which means we'll be rewarding the best stories about hoarding/guilty pleasures. (Which might not be very helpful, affirmative action towards curing you of 'em, but at least it's fun!)

Nice contest!

I don't fit into your criteria as a minimalist. I find some of the principles helpful, but I don't define myself like that (nor a hoarder, either, come to that).
