You. Only better.
It's a 6-week health & well-being game
Playing for points in each of the 7 Daily Habits: nutrition, exercise, mobility, sleep, hydration, well-being and reflection.
It's not about earning a perfect score every day
(But that's not against the rules!) It's about having the courage to start and the willingness to change.
While we're at it, everything is better with friends!
Team up with your community, hold each other accountable for personal goals, and build bonds around well-being that last long after the Challenge ends.

To be successful, ditch your goals. Say what? Yes, you heard that right. Ditch your goals. We’ve been taught to set goals anytime we want to achieve anything. They should be SMART: specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and time sensitive. But the motivational gurus who’ve taught us this didn’t necessarily take into account the psychology involved in personal growth and achievement.

Day after day, year after…
In 2000, I ventured onto a then-new website called “Netflix.” I can still remember how exciting it was to see the familiar red DVD mailer when I opened my mailbox. Then in 2007, Netflix launched a streaming service. As an early adopter, I distinctly remember how crummy the the streaming service was at first. I don’t think I was able to finish a movie for the first year. Service was that atrocious. Oh, how times have changed. In the five…
