## What is ExcellentMe?

CREATE A STRONGER, CALMER YOU AND MODEL IT FOR THE KIDS WATCHING

ExcellentMe turns your mood into one small, science-backed character exercise, free to start, ready in two minutes a day.

HOW IT WORKS

Twice a day, tell ExcellentMe how you actually feel, and what's behind it. That mood plus the character strength you're currently building, decides the one small, doable exercise you get next. No overwhelming list. No generic routine. Just the next right step for today.

FEATURES YOU'LL USE EVERY DAY

- Morning & evening mood check-ins, with an optional reason attached
- 24 VIA character strengths to grow: bravery, gratitude, perseverance, kindness, and more
- A private journal, with room to attach photos
- A gratitude jar for quick notes of thanks and a gratitude collage to turn them into a keepsake
- Short guided meditations matched to your strength
- A new quote every day, worth saving and sharing
- Gems and streaks that reward showing up, not chasing perfection

FOR PARENTS, TEACHERS, GRANDPARENTS & CAREGIVERS

ExcellentMe is one of the few wellness apps that asks: was a child watching when you lost your patience or when you handled it well? Personal growth becomes something bigger than yourself, modeling for a watching child how a person recovers, reflects, and keeps their character intact under pressure.

GROUNDED IN REAL RESEARCH

ExcellentMe's exercises are inspired by published positive-psychology research, including:
- The VIA Classification of Character Strengths: Dr. Christopher Peterson & Dr. Martin E. P. Seligman, VIA Institute on Character
- Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice: Dr. Ryan Niemiec, VIA Institute on Character
- Flourish: Dr. Martin E. P. Seligman
- Research on Sustainable Happiness: Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky

All content is written independently by ExcellentMe and is not produced, reviewed, or endorsed by the researchers or institutions above.

FREE TO START, ROOM TO GROW

Begin with mood check-ins, journaling, your gratitude jar, and your first character strength at no cost. An optional membership unlocks all 24 character strengths, every guided meditation, and the complete gratitude toolkit.
