From St. Louis, moved to Maine. I want to help people and I want to tell my story, but I'm afraid, so I'm doing a 1% better challenge and sharing with everyone here. Please feel free to let me know if you have any advice. Idk what I'm doing and I'm scared
Extremely severe life circumstances knocked me down for a long while. I'm working my way out of the depths of hell, but so far, I'm making progress. Sorry for the lack of updates. I was not ready for everything to fall apart, but I'll be ok

Days 72-80 of 1% better- I'm actually making big progress with my health as well as learning myself and understanding myself. I'm doing really bad at keeping up with it written down. During this time, I wrote down that I applied for a loan, trying to get my debt under control, I went to a play, and

Days 60-71 of 1% better-
It's been 12 days since my last update and a lot had happened. The biggest thing is big shadow work breakthroughs, so check out the comments under that for those updates. I have been monitoring my health, which has been dramatically fluctuating. Will update more next time
March 12, 2025 at 8:00 PM
Days 48-59 of 1% better- I have been bouncing between stable and manic for the last 2 weeks. During these dates, I went out, made new friends, mad a new plan for my living situation, made a new plan for getting back on track in my life, made huge progress in my magic, and got my health stablized

Day 47 of 1% better- Get back on track
Now that I've rebalanced myself, I'll be getting back on track with getting better. I may choose to do the same task for several days in a row to give myself the time to adjust to the changes. My goal is to make lasting changes, not get overwhelmed and burn out
February 16, 2025 at 10:04 PM
Days 39-46 of 1% better- Rebalance
While I didn't assign a new task each day, I was still actively trying to better myself. The goal is to get better, not to become perfect overnight. Sometimes, I may drop the ball and need to readjust. I've been too harsh on changing fast, so I'm adjusting that.
February 16, 2025 at 10:02 PM
Day 38 of 1% better- Take the time to breathe today. Prioritize safety and make it a point to think about health today.
I realized I was pushing myself a little too far in terms of my limits. I took the 8 days after this to recenter myself and rebalance my life. I'll make an update covering that
February 16, 2025 at 10:00 PM
Sorry for disappearing. I realized I was having some very intense struggles, and I needed a break from everything. I took 8 days to refocus and readjust after being sick. I had to rebalance the things in my life, so for 8 days, I took a break from 1% better. That in itself was an act of betterment

Day 37 of 1% better- Be more gentle with yourself. Hold yourself to those standards. Gentle but firm.

I did exactly that. When I was overwhelmed with financial problems caused by my partner, I stood firm on boundaries and stayed gentle with myself. I feel like I've been making progress
February 6, 2025 at 9:07 PM
Day 36 of 1% better- Take another step towards trusting yourself.
I'm sure I did that, but I'm not sure how. I know I did because today(37) I was able to hold firm boundaries and be gentle with myself. I think yesterday I chose my health over money and because of that, I trust I'll take care of me
February 6, 2025 at 9:05 PM
Day 35 of 1% better- Practice what you want to practice today.
I don't think I really did much of anything at all that day, but I did end up having very interesting dreams. I may actually decide to start a dream journal in the future as part of this. I've found many magical things in dreams
February 6, 2025 at 9:03 PM
Day 34 of 1% better- Take your time. Slow down at little bit.
I have a tendency to rush things and there is no exception here. I keep feeling like if I'm not making constant progress and constant steps forward, I'm somehow failing. I literally made this my own challenge. Failing is impossible.
February 6, 2025 at 9:01 PM
Day 33 of 1% better- Rest.
This was made when I was just starting to get sick, but I had no idea of the severity of the sickness. I learned how severe it was after a few days. I could barely get out of bed, opening my eyes felt impossible, everything was numb and breathing was hard. Rest was needed
February 6, 2025 at 8:56 PM
Sorry about not updating on the 1% better. I've been very sick the last few days, but I'm ok now. I'll go ahead and get you guys updates on those ASAP
February 6, 2025 at 8:53 PM
This has nothing to do with 1% better. I'm just posting this for shits and giggles. I'm willing to offer custom readings to anyone who reaches out. Normally, I may ask for a donation, but honestly, I'm just interested in why you picked me to do a reading for you. I do energy readings and tarot
February 3, 2025 at 2:45 PM
Day 32 of 1% better- Learn about my dream partner and how I can be the person they would want.
I asked myself a few questions.
What do I really want in a partner?
Who would my partner want?
How can I become the person I need to be to find this person?
I still don't have answers, lol
February 3, 2025 at 1:00 PM
Day 31 of 1% better- Brush your hair
I've always struggled with taking care of my hairs. I found out recently that I have curly hair and that requires completely different care than straight hair. I have a comb for it now and stuff, but I still need the curl cream and stuff to help it stay healthy
February 3, 2025 at 12:57 PM
Day 30 of 1% better- sit in your discomfort.
I have been trying to do this more often, but obviously that's uncomfortable so it's hard to do. I hope to be able to learn from feeling uncomfortable and find the things I still have been running from and hiding from. This is scary lol
February 1, 2025 at 1:22 AM
Day 29 of 1% better- forgive someone today.
I don't don't think I managed to do that, but i did learn that I need to forgive myself and my best friend through high-school. I'll be working hard on managing these emotions in therapy over the next few months. If I learn anything, I'll comment here
February 1, 2025 at 1:15 AM
Day 28 of 1% better- Take a step towards trusting yourself.
With my anxiety, depression, and traumas, I have had a really hard time learning how to trust myself. I'll be learning to take steps every now and then towards trusting myself. I told someone a little more about the disabilities I have
January 29, 2025 at 3:47 PM
Day 27 or 1% better- Pay attention to your body's needs.
I am disabled, both physically and mentally/emotionally. I have all kinds of invisible disabilities and listening to my body is one of the few ways I can fight the disability without making it worse for myself.
January 29, 2025 at 3:46 PM
Day 26 of 1% better- show yourself grace
I'm not sure how well I did with this, but I think i did pretty ok. I was patient, kind, and understanding of myself. Things were super tough for a bit, but I managed to get through it and ended up having a good day and learning a lot.
January 28, 2025 at 3:26 AM
Day 25 of 1% better- Take a step towards courage.
I did my first real reading for a stranger today. I tracked a negative energy that attached to them and gave them accurate descriptions of the entity and confirmed that neither of us are crazy or seeing things. This is scary, but I'm excited too.
January 25, 2025 at 8:57 PM
Day 24 of 1% better- Do something for yourself that you haven't because of whatever excuses.
I went to a restaurant I've been wanting to go to but kept telling myself I couldn't because I couldn't afford to spend the money. I did this without knowing what my task for the day was
