How many times have you thought about taking on a new habit or practice or diet or anything you knew would help you grow into the best YOU , only to shelve it or put it off? Have you ever taken on a new therapy only to realise it wasn't for you? Have you ever felt sick enough that you knew if you didn't take on advice to change that you'd only get more sick?
This challenge asks you to consider the blocks that you have experienced, or might be experiencing, to a way of life, thinking or being that is more nourished, supportive and healthy. It's brought to you by both @innerblocks and @naturalmedicine, and there are lots of prizes on offer! Both of us are contributing 30 Steem each to the prize pool, with some additional LOTUS tokens to be won!
We're not asking you to 'fix' yourself in a way that might suggest there is something 'wrong' with you at all - only to consider the barriers that might prevent your inner lotus blossoming.
Use #naturalmedicine and #innerblocks as one of your first 5 tags. It doesn't matter which one you choose to put first. We're all in this challenge together!
Some ideas:
- Write about a time where you were desperate for change in your life, and discovered a 'medicine' that brought about that change (remember, it doesn't have to be a 'plant' medicine - it could be a changed habit, physical exercise or a new way of seeing the world)
- Write about a 'medicine' you WANT to adopt, but discuss the reasons why you're finding it difficult to do so. What help might you need? What barriers or blocks stand between you and the medicine?
- Write about a time where you adopted something you thought might be a good medicine, but in the end, changed your mind/strategy for whatever reason
- Write about someone you know that refuses to take upon a 'medicine' that you know can help them.
You can write about your physical/mental health, or you might like to choose something that is more environmentally focussed - for example, what practices could you adopt on your homestead that could restore health to the land?
Be as creative as you like with your approach to the challenge! Make sure you drop the link to your post below. Only entries that do this will be considered.
The Prizes
- The first 20 resteems of this post will be awarded .25 Steem each
- Each entry will be rewarded with LOTUS TOKEN
- A week 1 wrap up post will reward one winner with 100 LOTUS
- The final entries will be judged by @riverflows, @freedompoint and @freedomtowrite. The prize pool of 60 Steem will be distributed as we see fit between all entries.
Natural Medicine will also be burning the equivalent winnings, matched by @lotuscoin, at the end of the contest, to help support the Lotus economy.

hmmm, my personal development is not a subject to online content creation (ego says)
i trust your tribe, however the management is too stagnated for my options to grow...
otherwise prizes look well! ;)
Great challenge, so much has changed since retiring 3 years ago, and so much for the good.

I like the idea, I'm in. I wrote this post without having the challenge in mind but when I finished it I found it kind of fit in here.
