Well, that was the first month of 2021 and we didn't have a martian invasion, giant spiders or a new pandemic, so that's awesome, right? I know some of you are still in lockdowns of one sort of another, which is still tricky, but at least the shock of last year has eased a little and we're learning to live with these transformed times. HIVE, however, is consistant - a nice place to come and zone out, check out some #naturalmedicine posts or find a little catharsis just writing about your troubles. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, I hope this post sees you nourished, happy and full of vitality in this brand new year.
@phoenixwren kicked off the challenge with her book review [here](https://peakd.com/hive-120078/@phoenixwren/review-of-the-woman-s-book-of-yoga-and-health-by-linda-sparrowe). Did you know that there's a new book community on HIVE - we'd welcome more #naturalmedicine tagged book reviews such as this one!
@lizelle sure took a different spin with her post about [the magic of a new coif](https://peakd.com/hive-120078/@lizelle/the-magic-of-a-new-coif-african-braiding) - how important is a haircut or treatment in these times! Self care is so important, even when - or especially when - times are tough. @lizelle figured out how to buy some LOTUS too - that's cool bananas! @tarot911 wrote an amazing post [here](https://peakd.com/hive-120078/@tarot911/ritual-of-cleaning-and-harmonization-of-houses-and-apartments) on the ritual cleaning and harmonisation of houses and apartments. I think this is pretty relevant for all of us, especially as so many of us have been confined both energetically and physically inside our homes in the last year. If you missed @edouard in tiny shorts, it's not too late - check our his fitness moves [here](https://peakd.com/hive-120078/@edouard/my-ritual-exercise-snacks). @chronosclocks wrote a post about the importance of going for a walk - something she took for granted before COVID: > Due to the social distancing I stopped going out almost completely, I literally spent two months without leaving the apartment, until one day I started to get skin infections for any small cut. When I went to the doctor he said that the infections were showing up so easily because of the lack of sun, so he assigned me to go for a walk everyday for at least 15 minutes per day, an indication I ignored at first.A month later I was in an emotional state that gave a lot to be desired, I was very sad, so I started to attend online therapy and in the first session the psychologist indicated me to go out to sunbathe. So it was no longer the opinion of one doctor, but two and different areas. So I decided to pay attention and started to going out interday, the difference was noticeable and quick.
### Sadly, we had under ten entries for the January challenge. This means we can't give away the whole 100 HIVE - we always require at least ten to make the challenge worth running! However, we're pleased to give 20 HIVE to @chronosclocks whose entry was so beautifully put together with images in a really creative way, detailed a personal story. 2 HIVE each goes to all other participants - thanks for joining in! There will be more opportunities to win HIVE for Febuary, so keep an eye out in Discord and in the community!
