OPC Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 1% Challenge?

Practice mindfulness for 1% of the day - just 14 minutes - for 30 days to develop healthy habits, give back to charity, and earn great rewards.

How do I sign up for the 1% Challenge?

Log in or create an eM Life account. You are automatically enrolled when you practice mindfulness for at least 14 minutes starting Jan. 3rd through March 1st. It is recommended you start in January to be eligible for all the rewards.

Who can participate in the 1% Challenge?

If you have an account through your employer, you most likely can participate in the 1% Challenge. If you don’t see a 1% Challenge banner on https://vibe.emindful.com/programs or have a 1% Challenge dashboard on the https://vibe.emindful.com/opc page then please check with your employer to ensure they are participating.

Anyone with a personal account can participate in the 1% Challenge. Don’t have an account? Create one here.

How do I start the 1% Challenge?

To start the challenge, you must watch 14 minutes or more of any of our live or on-demand sessions. Since Mindful Dailies are just 14 minutes long, we suggest starting with that!

What types of programs qualify for the 1% Challenge?

All of eM Life’s live sessions (such as Mindful Dailies, guided practices, live programs, Ask A Teacher) and on-demand content qualify for the 1% Challenge – just make sure to watch the minimum of 14 minutes per day!

How do I track my progress?

Log in to your eM Life account and go to the 1% Challenge page here: https://vibe.emindful.com/opc. If you have started your challenge, this page will display your dashboard and show you the days you missed, attended and still have left in the 1% Challenge. If you have not started your challenge it will give you more information to get started.

When will my 1% Challenge dashboard get updated?

Your minutes will be updated in real-time on your dashboard.

When does the “day” begin and end?

Days are measured in your local time zone and begin at 12 a.m. ending at 11:59 p.m. Your local time zone is based on your Profile preference. You can update your time zone by going to your Profile then Edit Information. Your time zone is not automatically updated when you enter a new location.

When will my Mindful Minutes double?

Your Mindful Minutes will double after the 1% Challenge is complete. This gives you the opportunity to make an even bigger impact with your selected charity!

Why does it show I missed a day in the progress bar? I don’t think I have missed a day.

Please make sure that the content you participated in falls inside the 24-hour range of the time zone you’ve selected in your Profile and is 14 minutes or more. If you believe there is an error, please contact support@emindful.com.

What if I miss a day?

That’s ok, setbacks happen. You can still earn the 10 and 20 day rewards. These rewards can be earned nonconsecutively.

Can I start over?

You cannot restart the 1% Challenge once you begin or if you miss a day.

What if I start after Jan 3rd, 2022?

You can start the 1% Challenge after Jan 3rd but you will only have until March 1st to participate. This means you might not be eligible for all the rewards.

When do I earn rewards?

The rewards are cumulative for the first 10 and 20 days, meaning if you complete 20 days of the Challenge, you will win the rewards for 10 and 20 days. If you complete 30 days of the Challenge, you’ll win all three rewards. Please note, since you only have 30 days to complete the 1% Challenge, you must complete 30 days consecutively to earn all of the rewards. Only the rewards earned for 10 and 20 days are not consecutive.

How do I claim my rewards?

After your 30 days in the challenge, your 1% Challenge has officially ended. At that time we send you an email communication with details on how to claim your 10, 20 and/or 30 day rewards. Please make sure you have not opted out of receiving emails. Additional details about the rewards can be found in the Terms and Conditions of the 1% Challenge.

I went 10 days, why don’t I collect my rewards now?

All your rewards are unlocked after 30 days in the challenge when your 1% Challenge has officially ended.

What is The Connection?

The Connection is our pay-it-forward program to help you build purpose and social good. With every minute of mindfulness you practice, we donate to the charity of your choice. During the 1% Challenge, your minutes are doubled, making an even bigger impact.

Does winning an award affect my income taxes?

eMindful will not be supplying any tax documentation to participants of the OPC, since the total value of the prizes is below the IRS gift tax threshold. Please note, eMindful Inc. and its associates do not provide tax advice. We recommend you consult your independent professional tax advisor regarding any legal or tax issues raised in this communication.
