About intention of the PRIZES
Our intention for introducing cash prizes for the challenges needs to stated very precisely. We believe there core reward for doing the challenges is the challenge itself, plus the personal growth that is the result of going into discomfort. However we wanted to add a small cherry on top as an incentive to journal and share progress from the challenges to help engage the community of fellow participants.
The intention of the cash prizes IS NOT:
- To push someone into doing a challenge they wouldn't do for the challenge, and it's personal growth aspect, alone
- To participate in a challenge in a unsafe, reckless or irresponsible way. Being more "hardcore" does not in any way increase the chance of winning the cash prize
- To make someone feel like they have to finish a challenge they started, even if they don't feel like it
- To introduce any form of unhealthy competition between participants
If the cash prize has any of the above effects on you do not participate in the challenges.
The intention of the cash prizes IS:
- Provide a nice cherry on top for someone willing to commit extra time to journal and share their progress
- Reward creativeness of documenting their challenge
- A way to give back to the community for helping to crack the code of physical & mental well-being
Any participant sharing their progress in a way not aligned with the intended intention will not be eligible for a cash prize.
