It's the first day of the month! You know the drill. 😉 Today's #HivePowerUpDay! ![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wittyzell/AK7zsQSjaW3ee3zxFBxhUC3Q4k5ePiKJQq3zPPHTgvZ4jQmKF3h3NHtm2xpSnLS.jpg) Every first day of the month, we celebrate **Hive Power Up Day** aka #HivePUD! To know more about it, you can read [this post](https://peakd.com/hive-122221/@hivebuzz/pud-202207) by @hivebuzz and/or [this post](https://peakd.com/@traciyork/its-here-hive-power-up-day-for-july-1st-2022) from @traciyork.

Lookback

I started joining this movement last May (few days before my month-sary in Hive) and from then on, I kept doing it. ![Status - Power Up Day, screenshot from HiveBuzz](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wittyzell/23u5ticnNi8RNxFywbDzLK4qHaq8YtzawBK4WMZbrhu1ebXq4U5GdKTQxMY981d2gJNxM.png) I received delegations from @forykw and @hiveph for winning the raffle. It helped me a lot, as I'm still a redfish in Hive at that time. Thank you guys! It's definitely a fun event! Seeing many people investing in the platform by doing the power up, it also inspired me to continue being active here on Hive and contributing more to the platform. (*Oops I said the exact same thing last time* 😂)

Progress

--- ^{These screenshots are taken from HiveBuzz} After being here in Hive for almost 3 months, I've graduated from being a **red fish** to becoming a **minnow**. 🎉 I made **12 new posts** and **853 comments** for the month of June. Interestingly, during the month of May, I made 12 posts which is the same number as for last month. My comment count has increased by 243 which is understandable since recently I've been very active in promoting [HivePH](https://peakd.com/c/hive-188409/created). Thank you to everyone who supported me from the very beginning til now. Much love to all of you!

Power Up

Before I power up, I usually look at my wallet. ![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wittyzell/23tGXnLGEqmKMtaUXezqC69JecQwXTdUJQeYZnUTqU6jUgAAxwFhgikNgKKMNEoC28L43.png) Actually I got 62 HIVE just yesterday. I sold all my HIVE to HBD when the price was so high. It was really a gamble because I was really planning to power up today. ![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wittyzell/23tGTG6nDfp61g8JT3DHL1naxHce4pqaKuPgC9MFoA7tsRPdkHJCpdmtN2w7cXmw4CvnP.png) My initial plan is to power up only 50 HIVE but I don't know why I just decided then and there to power up all of it. ![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wittyzell/Eo1wPExVzftDV8S3eomFZmo8bkVuGHaeD7cqSNNAyW6xrZZ6urjCh7w2LbngkkP1VN8.png) And tada! I'm now in the 700 HP level!

Goals for Next

I don't plan to power down anytime soon because I want to hit my goal of **1000 HP for the month of July**. I'm not sure if that will really happen but I am hoping it will. 🤞 I also want to start **inviting my friends** to the platform because of so much potential in here. There's a lot in Hive than just earning rewards. I hope I can guide my friends here and hope they will contribute something.

Final Thoughts

Hurry, power up at least 10 HIVE and get the badge! Maybe you will also win some cool prizes. Power up now! And have fun! If you reached up to here, thanks for reading! See you around! じゃあ、またね！ ^{*All photos in this post are screenshots from my PeakD wallet and [HiveBuzz](https://hivebuzz.me/).
