Good Vibe Games

In lieu of the Summer Olympics being postponed, UAB URec is hosting the Good Vibe Games! The Good Vibe Games (GVG) is a social media-based “competition” centered on putting nothing but good vibes out into the world. Your place in the competition will be determined by how much positivity you can send to your family, friends, the UAB community, and even yourself!
   
How it works:
The GVG all happens through the social media platform Instagram. Each person has one post to score as many points from the list below. Points will be added up and that will place you as a Gold, Silver, or Bronze level encourager.
   
Stories make it difficult to share your good vibes, so make sure to join in on the GVG with one individual post instead. We want to celebrate the positivity with you!
   
When:
You can submit your GVG Instagram post anytime between Friday, April, 17 and Sunday, April 19, 2020.
   
How to earn points:
In order to enter into the Good Vibe Games you will need to post on Instagram using the #GoodVibeGames and tag @UABURec. Once you have done that, you earn points for each of the additional things you do below.
   
Each item listed below is worth one point.

   • Put good energy back into the world! Post a picture of you doing your favorite workout!
   • Tag someone in your post that inspires you to work hard and strive to reach your goals.
   • Send a shout-out to somebody who you want to encourage during this uncertain time.
   • List one thing that you commit to accomplishing in the next month.
   • Provide a tip for self-care while social distancing.
   • Share one good thing that has come out of social distancing.
   • Tell everybody the thing you are most proud of accomplishing.
