# Let's Do It!

All right, I have participated on the Hive Power Up Day since June this year (seriously, where have I been the past months?!)  and I do not see any reason why I should not keep the practice. It's a sure way to make my account grow, and that in my own little way contributes to Hive too.

It's far from being a dolphin account yet, but making these #hpud posts once a month also makes me keep tabs of my targets and progress in terms of my Hive Power.

#### What is Hive Power Up Day, you say?

It is an initiative by @streetstyle where he encourages each one on the block to power up every first of each month. This way, we each grow our account by increasing our staked Hive (Hive Power/HP) that adds to the overall value of Hive.

Learn more about the **Hive Power Up Day** on this recent post by @traciyork:

In that post, you will find that there are also awesome prizes to accounts that power up with the highest ratio (ratio between your current amount of HIVE Power and the amount you power up) today, August 1st.

There's more! If you power up a minimum of 100 HP, you will also get a badge from @hivebuzz! Awesome!

### It's time to power up!

Without further ado, here's the screen shot of my wallet before the power up:

I was sitting at 2423.916HP before the power up. This means that I fell short of my targeted 2500 HP by the end of July that I mentioned in my <a href = "https://peakd.com/hive-188409/@arrliinn/hivepud-hive-power-up-day-for-july-1st-2020">last HPUD post</a>.

I have ~36 HIVE that's been sitting in my wallet so I powered up all of that.

But I'd like to get a HPUD badge from @hivebuzz, so I decided to buy 70 more HIVE at the <a href = "https://wallet.hive.blog/market"> market</a> to bring my total power up today to 106.095HP.

#### Arlyn, give yourself a pat on the back. 🙌

See these stats I pulled out from https://hivestats.io/, a useful tool by LeoFinance. At least, my account is growing steadily. :D

### Month Goal and End of Year Challenge

I'd like to challenge myself to reach up to 2800HP by the end of the month. That's roughly 266HP that I must earn through posting and curation. Hopefully, I'd be able to meet this, and close the year at 4000HP. Whew! That's quite a challenge. 

How about you? Have you powered up today? What are your immediate and long term HIVE goals?

Let's to this!

### Before I go, I've got my badge already! Yaaayyy! Thanks Hivebuzz! ❤️
