Good first day of the year Hive & Leo Finance
it's 
with my 1st #HivePUD for the New Year!
with my 1st #HivePUD for the New Year!There is always a great deal of engagement and prizes for who participates in the #HivePUD, if you want you can read more about it in this post by 
This is my 6th Power up since I joined Hive, here you can see from my HiveBuzz stats when and how much I did power up in the past months:
You can see my first power up in June was tiny, I think it was just 10HP, but for July and August I stepped up my game and powered up 100+ HP, on September I did 50+ and on October I was Hive broke (lol) and powered up again only 10HP!
(We can see that from the size of the Bee, mini Bee = 10HP, medium Bee = 50HP, big Bee = 100HP, and obviously there are bigger bees for higher levels, I think the next is 1000HP for the huge Bee!
For the last two months of the year I had some shit going on and I didn't manage to stay on Hive how much I wanted and I didn't even power up once during these 2 months, not being much active I was not earning any HBD or Hive to power up.
And also depression and shit when hits you up you become an idiot and I had days that I wasn't feeling motivation to even log in, imagine post or power up, lol
When we feel shit even the simplest thing becomes a struggle, I know it's not an excuse but I'm now doing much better even though I'm still struggling, in December I did quite ok and managed to drop some good posts and earn some HP, I set up many of my best paying posts to 100% HP and I had some very good growth in December (this to my tiny levels obviously!):
From 620 to 720 HP in a month is a very good achievement for me, my biggest problem is paralysis by analysis and rumination, I do spend a lot of time thinking about doing something but not actually doing it, and at times I get lost in my thoughts and do fuck all all day only to get even more frustrated in the evening when I realise that I have accomplished nothing during the day!
And this only got boosted while I had Covid, I started December in a very good way here on Hive and had so many ideas of posts, I wanted to catch up with some old ideas and posts, also with some stuff I wanted to do for friends and then I simply spent 10 days feeling shit not being able to do much... Life... lol
Another good achievement I managed to get in 2021 was the Hive Helped badge:
I remember when the new member 
I haven't seen you around on Hive for quite a bit, are you doing ok bro?
Enough chit chat, let's get down to HPUD Biz
I do have almost 100 HBD in my account and I thought to swap them to Hive and power up with the other 28 Hive I have in there, but then I decided to keep them both liquid in my account, always good to have some HBD and HIVE liquid!
I do like trading and even though I have not been doing it actively for a bit I still have some random coins here and there on my trading accounts (just HODL for now lol), so I moved 100 Hive from my Binance to my Hive account and I will use them to do the Power Up this month!
Here is the usual process, I did it on Ecency:
I am trying to get my girlfriend here on Hive, I already dropped her 10HP once to boost her start but she didn't start yet, lol, but I am confident she will craft the introduction post at some point and she'll start posting here, so for this reason I wanted to drop her 10HP again to get the Helper Badge this year too, but then I noticed this rule:
The helpee must NOT have been previously powered-up by another account, i.e. it must be the first time it receives a power-up from someone else.
So I am not powering her up 10HP this month, if she will ever need help I can just drop her HP, HIVE or whatever, I wanted to do it today just for the badge lol
So I will keep this 10HP that I wanted to Power Up today to help another new account in the future, maybe if I ever manage to get my brother here I could give him the 10HP!
Or I can help a new random account that deserves a little boost! :) We will see...
So this is the new situation in my account, 100HP just added! HIVE LFG!
Before
After
One last thing I am still not sure about is about all the other tribes, I don't know if I should power up POB, LEO, etc on their frontend, or just swap all to Hive and power up here? I'm very confused, I do use the POB tag every now and then and post in their community, but never really use their front end... I'm very confused here lol
LEO also I do post there sometimes and when I do I use their front end, I don't have much LEO in there now, maybe in the future if I'll keep using LeoFinance and earn something there I will power up everything! I'm very confused and for now I have been mainly using Hive, Ecency as the front end for the points, I do like Peakd too but I like Ecency because of their mobile app that makes it easy and quick to get on Hive so because of how I got used to it I'm mainly using Ecency!
Feel free to drop me some advices about this tribes matter, I will appreciate any help! Cheers! :)
