I woke up without a new year's resolution. It didn't feel like a new year to me. I started well with my hive account. I am hoping I'll continue till the end. I read 30 different posts this morning and left a comment on about 25/26 of them. It felt great. I decided I am going to be this hardworking this year...... This, right now, is one of my new year's resolutions.
As a result of reading the number of posts I mentioned above, I stumbled upon an #HivePUD post by @traciyork. I said, to myself, "why don't we start the year with a power-up on your account?". And I did.
I checked my wallet and found about 42.626HBD that can be exchanged for a few liquid Hive. I was overjoyed.
I went back to the post to read all the instructions. I needed to do the power-up before the end of today. I needed to have more than 100 Hive Power and less than 8000 Hive Power in my wallet. The rule also said, my reputation should be above 39 and below 70. And finally, I've got to power up at least 10 Hive today.
Judging from the current price of the hive, I knew my HBD will be just enough and more. Again, I am at reputation 61. My hive power was just about 232.824. This meant I was qualified.
Quickly, I didn't waste any time so I don't miss the time zone differences. First, I moved 20% of my HBD to savings
(it's a routine, I have been doing after my first withdrawal. I started with 10% then someone advised me I should do up to 20% to grow my savings faster). This cost me about 8.5253HBD.
The balance, being 34.101HBD went straight to the market for conversions.
Being that I already had about 0.8 liquid hive, by the time the conversion was done, I ended up with 23.106 liquid Hive.
Without further Ado, I clicked on the power-up option on my wallet, and boom, my balance went up in number. How many? 255.930HP as we speak.
I was proud of myself. I just took a positive step towards building my account, and it was done on the first day of the month, as well as the first day in the new year.
If I say I resolve to do power up every month till the end of the year, I'll be having two resolutions. For someone who had no resolution, when she woke up, this is a good one to add to the list. Yes, this is resolution number 2. I am happy to do this.
With these two plans in sight, I am confident that 2022 will be an awesome year for me on hive. It will be a wonderful Ride, and I can't wait to see where this leads.
Will there be other plans for my hive account? Definitely. I am sure, as I move around hive today, I'll find them. Then, I'll have more resolutions to pursue with hard work, consistency, and strong convictions that I will accomplish them all.
Should you follow suit? I think you should. Not only will the numbers in your wallet increase, the numbers you can give someone when you vote on their posts increase too. You get to gain curation rewards as well. It's a win/win for everyone. I have a feeling you will feel as awesome as I did once you hit that power-up button. So, go ahead, try it and see.
Are you looking to experience the awesome feeling of doing a power up on the first of the month as a sign of a new beginning? Here is the link to the description. Hive Power Up Day for January 1st, 2022. I wish you luck.
