“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

I have finally booked the long overdue salon appointment. No looking like a homeless person anymore! 🥳

Today's 1% is this response, not sure if I'll remember daily, maybe i need to set it as a mindful intention every morning before i get up and hit the gym 😉

Today I tried something tiny but fun — I put away one thing near me that’s been out of place for a while. 🌿

Feels good to clear a little space!

I’m excited to see what small 1% improvements I can do tomorrow. 💪

I sat down to analyse errors in a test and reached out to my mentor. I'm trying to be less hesitant about seeking help.

How is the reading going? Are you finding any good books in the pile, or maybe getting rid of some just by reading a few pages??

I need to go through the mail, it always helps me when I am procrastinating to start with just one, so I am going to do one piece of mail

I did! I had 3 months of junk mail to go through. I decided to do that first and I accomplished at least the large majority of it. The rest of the mail should be easier and I will work on that later on this weekend. I hope...
