Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
This or That posts tap into the natural human desire for self-expression and quick decision making. By offering two simple, contrasting options, you lower the barrier to participation and make it easy for even the quietest members to join in. The playful nature of these prompts encourages a relaxed atmosphere where members feel comfortable sharing their preferences without overthinking.
In holistic living communities, This or That questions also provide an opportunity for members to express their unique wellness journeys, routines, and values in a non-judgmental way. These posts often ignite follow-up discussion as people explain their choices, swap tips, and discover shared interests, deepening community bonds.

Post a This or That question as a standalone thread, story, or within your regular community updates. Mix them into your content calendar for ongoing engagement or use them to revive quieter periods. Encourage members to share why they chose their answer, but keep participation as easy as possible. Rotate themes to cover different aspects of holistic living, such as routines, preferences, and mindful choices.
For all platforms, keep your This or That prompts short and visually engaging. On forums or Facebook Groups, use larger text or images for emphasis. On Instagram Stories, use the poll sticker. In chat-based platforms like Slack or Discord, post during peak hours and encourage the use of reaction emojis. Always reply to responses to keep the conversation going.
When creating prompts that compare modalities (e.g., Ayurveda vs. Traditional Chinese Medicine), frame questions to celebrate variety rather than competition. Emphasize curiosity and learning, such as: 'Which system are you more curious to try?' or 'Which practice resonates more with your personal wellness philosophy?' This encourages respectful sharing instead of debates about which is 'better.'
Tailor prompts to reflect real choices holistic living members encounter, such as 'Do you feel more energized after a raw or cooked breakfast?' or 'Is your go-to comfort food plant-based or animal-based?' Avoid judgmental wording and invite members to share their personal experiences and reasoning, fostering open discussion about nutritional mindfulness.
Acknowledge that holistic preferences are deeply personal and cultural. In your posts, use neutral language and encourage members to explain their choices: 'Do you turn to essential oils or incense for cleansing your space, and why?' Remind members that all respectful perspectives are welcome, and consider setting clear guidelines around respectful sharing in your community.
Seasonal living is central to holistic communities. Create prompts that tap into current events or cycles, e.g., 'During the summer solstice, do you prefer celebrating with sun salutations or moon salutations?' Encourage members to share how these practices support their seasonal wellness routines, and highlight traditions from multiple holistic disciplines.
Pair prompts with brief explanations: 'Are you more drawn to crystal grid work (using arranged stones for intention-setting) or sound baths (using music for deep relaxation)?' This educates newcomers while inviting experienced members to share insights. Consider linking to introductory resources or previous community posts for deeper learning.
Create prompts that go beyond simple preference, e.g., 'Which mind-body practice helps you reconnect: the meditative flow of Tai Chi or the expressive freedom of Ecstatic Dance?' Ask members to describe how each approach supports their holistic wellness, which can lead to meaningful exchanges about mind-body awareness, movement philosophies, and personal growth.
