Barefoot And Grounded | @freedompoint Challenge

in dtube •  7 years ago  (edited)


@Freedompoint challenged me to do the Barefoot/Grounded challenge and wouldn't you know it....it sparked a conversation with my mailman about what the heck I was doing outside in my bare feet with a camera, hahaha.

Thanks to the Yeti (@freedompoint) for the challenge and the opportunity it sparked to spend some time talking about DTube, Steemit, and photo/video to my mailman! What an awesome thing that was!

The challenge:

  • Share a photo of your feet connecting with the earth and label it "proof of peace" this could be just feet, feet/legs, or a selfie with feet touching earth

  • Nominate at least 5 people to take part in this challenge.

  • Say something in your post about how you feel while being barefoot

  • Use the title "@freedompoint's Barefoot/Grounded Challenge: My Entry"

  • Use the tag #barefootandgrounded to share your adventure.

-- If you have not been nominated but want to join in, just follow the guidelines and jump in!

For my challenge I nominate: @adetorrent, @kevenli, @to7, @art.visuals, @axios

With Gratitude,
Captain Bob

Awesome! Thanks for sharing that with me.

That sounds amazing!

I have been doing 20 deep breaths barefoot in the yard ever since @freedompoint made his vlog. :-)

That is amazing! I hope you are feeling great!

Nice! I'm a barefoot guy from spring till fall but winter takes that away, but perhaps that would really help me during the winter as well? Otherwise, I love to be without shoes haha.

It's pretty incredible how things like this can connect people and spark conversations with people who you would normally just pass by. What's even cooler is that you were able to find things in common with someone who you perhaps didn't know you had previously.

Bring on more challenges like this, love em!

Yeah it's amazing isn't it! A crazy barefoot challenge opened up the door to a more personal interaction with someone. I love it!

I think people with foot fetish will be in heaven with these kinds of posts lol! This reminded me of a trainer we had at my work once. I was wearing flip flops that time and a coworker pointed that out which my trainer noticed and she kept starting at it which weirded me out. I learned that she is obsessed with feet.

Anyway, good thing you had that as something to talk about :)

Show us your feet man! Put those baby's on the ground and tell me your feelings (sounds like a weird therapy session) LOL

Sorry, Cap. I hate feet so it's a no-no from me. Love your work, man haha

Ah come on man! Get those toes out there for the world to see. Time to stretch yourself, hahaha.

toes are even worse haha. Socks on all the time!

This could be a real breakthrough for you @kevinli! Vlogging and showing your toes....dude, that's better than years of therapy.

I'd rather give up eggplants for a year
haha

Oh my goodness!! That blew away my expectations for sure! I love that it actually made an opportunity for a real life connection. I am so happy to see more people feeling adventerous and kicking their shoes off. Thank you! Be well!

Great challenge man! Thanks for selecting me!

Ok, that didn't last long enough to meet anybody or to bother posting about. I hope you don't mind me posting the pic here instead. It felt cold at first, then painful... Cheers!

Hahaha, yeah that looks cold and painful! Thanks for posting :D

No problem, been enjoying your vids.

There is absolutely nothing like being barefoot and connecting with the earth. It's such a simple and effective way to ground yourself. It connects you in ways you couldn't imagine. Nature can do wondrous things for us when we have spent too much time absorbed in our lives, absorbed in our routine, we forget to take a moment, to breath in the simplicity. And say if you live in the city or don't have access to an abundance of nature, just being barefoot and really feeling the earth beneath your feet can prompt the same results. And in your case @captainbob it had an added bonus of allowing you to share a moment with the mailman. 💗

Absolutely! It was really great to have that time to connect back and be grounded AND to get to know the mailman that much better about things we might have in common. Amazing!

Amazing work as alway bro. Gotta love the mail man.

I hope we'll see your toes out there soon!

Hi Man!

On Steemit we`ve got "Voting Power". From earth we can have "Earth Power" :) I have read a book about it "Clinton Ober - Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever?" and used it when I can.

Bless :)
