“Culture changes when a small group of people find a better way to live, and the rest of us follow them.”

David Brooks

Why 100 days

Life is fine. Fine is not the same as healthy.

Good work, good people, and the years are starting to blur. 100 Days is a place to stop, look honestly at all seven areas of your life, and choose what comes next.

You were not made to do this alone.

Four in ten American adults say they feel lonely at least sometimes. Most of us already know what would make us healthier. What we are missing is people to do it with. In a cohort, four others know your goals and notice when you are not there.

Real change takes longer than a month.

Researchers have found a new habit takes about 66 days, on average, to stick. One hundred days gives you room to start, stumble and keep going. And it has a finish line, which makes it easier to say yes.

Someone has to say, “come with me.”

Every cohort begins with one person who invites two or three friends to join them on the journey. If that is you, invite yours and launch it together. You gather. The format does the leading.

We are holistic

A rising tide lifts all ships.

You don't have to change everything at once. When we focus on one, two, even three areas, the health we build there spills into the rest. That's why this isn't too big for anyone.

Try it — choose up to three areas to focus on.

The seven areas of a healthy life.

Seven distinct areas of life we all have, and they look different in everybody. Health, not perfection, is the journey.

Mental

A clearer, calmer mind. Learning, focus and the stories we tell ourselves.

Emotional

Naming what we feel, and growing in self-awareness and resilience.

Physical

Movement, rest, nourishment and recovery, in a rhythm you can keep.

Spiritual

Love and grace. There is room for everyone to explore.

Sexual

Honest, healthy intimacy, with care and respect for yourself and others.

Relational

Deeper connection with partners, family, friends and community.

Financial

Clarity with money — spending, saving and giving with intention.

The beauty is the simplicity.

We can begin to see change throughout our lives by giving some intentional focus to a few areas.

Start a cohort

How it works

Simple by design.

Start a cohort

Tell us why you are pursuing health. Then invite two or three friends to join you on the journey, and launch it together. Then they invite others to complete your cohort of five. Five is not a must, but it rounds out the experience. As the one who starts the cohort, you are its facilitator.

Prep week

Ask what health looks like in each area, set first steps, and review them with a spouse, partner or mentor. Check your blind spots.

Meet weekly

Read Atomic Habits and Ego is the Enemy, journal, and gather once a week. Commit to at least 3 of every 4 weeks.

Celebrate

Mark Day 50 together, serve your community, and celebrate the health you built at Day 100.

We show. We share. We grow.

We show

Five people, every week, for 100 days. Being there is the first win.

We share

Wins, struggles and the truth in between. What is said here, stays here.

We grow

In all areas, when we focus on a few. Becoming never finishes.

The journey

One hundred days, one step at a time.

Prep

Prep week

Set goals. Check blind spots.

Day 1

…

Keep becoming

Many start their next 100 together.

100 Days is, and is not.

It is

A start toward a healthier life
Equipping and empowering
Permission to fail forward
An encouraging space
A life journey with others doing the same
Listening, learning and doing
A big experiment
What you make it

It is not

A quick fix
A replacement for professional help
Meant to be a drag or shaming
A simple how-to or self-help
Meant to be done alone

Our story

Born out of stagnation.

Josh Crandall, founder of 100 Days of Health — **Josh Crandall**Founder

Life was fine. Work, family, friends — but I felt stuck, like life was on autopilot. So much of life was an echo chamber. I just kept hearing the same things on nuanced repeat. I knew there was more to the life I was supposed to be living, as opposed to just existing. So, out of a season of soul-searching and prayer came a simple phrase: give me 100 days of health. The first 100 days began in 2014. Then 2020 came, and I sensed what many did: the world is broken, and I wanted to be part of the solution. So 100 Days relaunched, but this time in the context of a cohort. Friends asked to join, and more cohorts were born.

My hope is that you join us on the journey, and find a better way to live.
