Winter Arc season has arrived: How to do it right.
Sunkissed sunset pictures are done and dusted. The micro shorts are back to hibernate for another year, and winter arc has pushed its way back to us and is capturing the internet by storm yet again. And she’s here to stay.
But what is winter Arc, you may ask yourselves?
Essentially, It’s not as scary as it sounds. This is an opportunity to transform yourself. Not just for something as simple as appearance, but stepping out of comfort zones for personal self-growth. whether that may be hitting the gym 24, channelling your inner potential into something that’ll bring you fulfilment in the New Year. Baby, it may be getting cold outside, but your Glow up is going to be hotter than ever! The next 4 months are your secret gateway to be THAT GIRL. Keep your lips sealed; this transformative period is to be done quietly. become that being you envision before spring returns and shock everyone who thought you couldn’t. Choose healing and hustle over people this time, honey. It’s your turn.
TikTok baddies turned Winter arc into aesthetic mood boards, cutting it down to simplicity, starting small from book recommendations to help expand one’s knowledge, good, structured morning routines to help make a good start to your day. A small community that started as a niche became an empire of a support system where strangers hype each other up for the small steps of achievement, you choose to share on TikTok, whether it’s doing your first gym session, finishing a book or even simply choosing you. TikTok winter Arc has got your back.
No clue where to start? No need to stress babe, there are no rules, no massive changes or money spent needed. It’s the small steps that give the biggest rewards.
A mini starter kit just to help your ideas flow:
- Think of the vibe you’re after, whether it’s making a mini-Pinterest board to help you see the vision of what it is you want to become or a good music playlist. Could be an empowering Lady Gaga vibe or a chill jazz set. A good music playlist ALWAYS helps set the mood for the goals you want to achieve.
2. Set one piece of routine a day (then you can later build up on it). It could be journaling once a day, thinking of 3 things you’re grateful for or maybe a 10-minute morning stretch to help get your day started fresh. You don’t need to think big, think realistically to what kind of lifestyle you’re living right now and slowly build up on that. Trust me, you’ll see the finish line faster that way.
3. Romanticise everything you do. It creates the main character’s behaviour and mindset set, which enforces that willingness to grow.
