“One Percent Better” Challenge!

If you’ve ever read the Slight Edge, you know about this general idea.

Starting December 1st, we are all (yes, that means you, and me, and everyone else who wants to join!) going to do something small that will make our lives 1 percent better every day!

Not sure what this looks like?

Here’s a few examples:

Eat a strawberry along with your cookie

Read one page of a book

Drink two more sips of water

Write one line in your journal

Delete one email

Put your clothes out for the next day

March in place for 5 seconds every time you use the bathroom

Put away one thing that’s near you

Look up the meaning to one word

Text one friend

Drink tea instead of soda for one meal

You get the idea.

BUT!

Don’t go “typical” if you possibly can. Think outside the box. Come up with something super random every day to make your life a TINY bit better! Just 1%. Google it. Ask AI to give you ideas. Ask friends. I don’t care how you do it hehe!

Just post about it and tell us about your adventures! Tag someone, who you think might enjoy this challenge <3

December is OUR month. Let’s CRUSH it! <3

Today I let my son nap in his stroller for a half hour after we finished our morning walk, instead of promptly removing him and enduring his crankiness all day. He woke up happy when I decided it was was time to go inside!

@jesusredeemedme2425 finished the front piece of my knitted sweater. I have all kinds of feelings, including not wanting to do ribbing ever again, knowing well I will need to rib the neckline soon too. But at least for a while now, I can lull myself into some false sense of safety by mindlessly working on the back piece 😂

@jesusredeemedme2425

Love this postt soo much Kiara...😘....(⁠^⁠3⁠^⁠♪

I’m looking to make major changes in my daily life.

I’ve decided to prioritize both my mental and physical health.

Every day, I face harsh words, criticism, and cruelty. Because of that, I’ve made a firm decision: I will no longer let those words affect me.

I will mind my words.

I will mind my thoughts.

I will mind my actions.

I’ve started listening to my own mind more carefully. It’s loud with negative thoughts, stubborn doubts, and a deep inferiority complex. I’m learning to recognize these patterns instead of being controlled by them.

Recently, I began listening to mindset podcasts. They are slowly reshaping my thinking and giving me new perspectives.

This is the beginning of a new version of me 😉.

'mindset' podcasts, I'll look into this, definitely one of my goals if Putin doesn't nuke my retirement dam first 😉
