I think it is safe to say that for the most part ALL our lives have changed dramatically over the last year. Our boundaries have been pushed as well as our creative lengths in order to stay entertained. We have had to adapt to an entirely new and at moments, very foreign way of living. The scope of impact and change is incredibly broad and a lot of it has been nothing short of challenging. Quite a bit of the “inspiration” in creating the **[“Lifestyle Lounge”]( https://peakd.com/c/hive-114105/created)** community was born from the acknowledgement of this new reality, the challenges it presents each of us and ultimately finding a “user friendly” and manageable way for people to focus on the positives which we CAN, share those snippets and find enjoyment in simple reciprocation – and with that said, I would like to kick off our very first community contest.

This contest is all about **YOU**, your adaptation to *“lockdown living”* – or for those that are NOT currently constrained by lockdown on any grand degree, the *“new lifestyle”* changes which have come about in your own world due to the global changes in this last year. We have ALL had to adapt to new ways of living and with that generally comes new habits, hobbies and favourites… so whether it is working remotely from bed, exploring meditation, playing checkers with your kids, an unsuspected passion for gardening, a scrapbooking obsession, exploring an instrument, a fitness regime or simply cuddling with your fur friends more regularly – We want to know the TOP FIVE that are unlikely to ever change moving forward! The five things you are in love with now and inspire your 2021 road ahead!
