Today I struggled to get out of bed. You would think that as an adult it would be easy by now, but it never seems to get easier.
After getting up, finding the will to go and work out was even harder, although I had made it one of my New Year's Resolutions for 2023 just a day prior.
Human motivation is complicated. We say we are going to do one thing but once in the moment, we act differently. When it comes to our health and wellness, most of us know what's good for us, but we still have a hard time doing it.
As I reflect on the past year for Galvan, various emotions and memories fill my mind. I feel joy and excitement from the moment the the world's first layer-2 health blockchain was launched by the Galvan DGF, or when we had 12,000 account sign-ups in just 24 hours. I feel fear and doubt remembering the collapse of bad Web3 actors and unstable market conditions.
It truly was a wild year. And looking back, one cannot deny the massive growth Galvan has had thus far.
However, I woke up on the first day of 2023 the same as the first day of 2022—lacking extra motivation to get up and go workout. Galvan did a lot of things in 2022, but we are yet to solve the problem we are striving to solve: to make healthy choices easier.
We aren't naive to think we can create a piece of software that will magically change human behavior, but we know we can use human behavior to help you make small, daily improvements. This will all be made possible through simple nudges in the Galvan Wellness App: earning rewards from the blockchain, social competitions, and objective tools to track your wellness.
By the end of 2023, our goal is that you will be able to say something like this:
- "You know what? Since I have started using Galvan, I feel healthier."
- "Galvan has helped me become more educated about my wellness."
- "I can't miss my workout today or I won't get my rewards from the blockchain!"
- "I feel like I have not only helped myself through Galvan, but I have helped others!"
Our team is stronger and more galvanized than ever to make this a reality, and we are excited for you to join us for the ride in 2023.
