Each day you’ll get a text reminder to meditate.
You’ll simply answer “Yes” or “No” and if you meditated you’ll simply enter in the number of minutes you meditated.
Remember: Each day you meditate for a total of at least 5 minutes, you will receive an entry into the weekly raffle!
Each week will feature a short (~ 10 min) educational video and guided meditations, so you can start building and tracking your daily meditation habits.

To track your progress:
Each day, you’ll receive a notification asking,
“Did you meditate today?”
Take this as a simple reminder to help you prioritize your physical and mental well-being.

It’s that simple.

FAQ?
Do I have to use only the guided meditations provided by the Challenge?
No! Feel free to use any platform (e.g. Calm, Insight Timer, Headspace, Liberate) that supports you meditating daily.
You WILL need to track your meditation with the daily notifications in order to earn an entry into the raffle.
Be sure to answer “Yes” when the app asks “Did you meditate today?” and enter your total minutes meditated for the day.
What if I happen to skip a day…or two?
That’s okay! Get back into the Challenge by simply meditating for at least 5 minutes.
You can still accumulate daily raffle entries and restart at any time to try for 7 consecutive days.
Do I have to track anything for watching the short educational videos?
Nope! For the educational videos there is nothing you need to track or report. The system automatically enters you into the raffle whenever you watch an entire video.
What if I missed a weekly educational video?
You’ll get entered into the raffle for watching a video at any time during the challenge on/before the last day, Feb 6th, 2023. Each video earns you one entry into the raffle.
