I don’t believe in WINTER ARC

DON’T COME FOR ME HEAR ME OUT ⤵️

Look I understand everyone is talking about “WINTER ARC❄️” and how they are about to grind and become absolutely unrecognizable - THATS GREAT, I’m not against the work and transforming yourself but here’s my issue….

WINTER ARC is sounding just like “new year new me”…🙃

It’s literally the same every year, instead of making some dramatic announcement of completely changing your physique maybe just learn to improve yourself daily and start habits that you can carry with you for LIFE and not just for a short period of time…🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m not against goal setting, hear what I’m saying, I’m against this over dramatized period(s) of time that are supposed to make drastic, quick changes….drastic and quick fixes don’t last btw….😮‍💨

Maybe start a bit smaller and be little bit better than you were yesterday or last month and build off of that. And watch those habits compound and THEN you will continue to become a better YOU all year around. ✨

... Read moreThe concept of a 'Winter ARC' often resembles the well-quoted 'new year, new me' mentality, where individuals aim for radical changes within a limited timeframe. However, this approach can lead to burnout and disappointment as drastic transformations rarely last. Instead, it is beneficial to embrace gradual progress, which encourages healthier habits that are easier to maintain over time. Focusing on daily improvements not only reduces pressure but also allows individuals to celebrate small victories. Techniques like setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals can facilitate this journey. It’s essential to acknowledge that meaningful change is a marathon, not a sprint. Incorporating fitness trends that emphasize a lifestyle shift rather than a seasonal overhaul can help individuals align their well-being with ongoing growth. Participants in fitness communities may find support in shared experiences, boosting motivation and accountability. Remember, consistency is key, and learning to appreciate the journey contributes to a more fulfilled and balanced life, regardless of the season.

Winter Arc motivation
although I am not the biggest fan of “winter arc” because we should be doing this year round, any motivation is good motivation. Use this winter to start your journey off right. The hardest part is the mindset. Don’t let laziness get in the way or your potential. Be strong minded and get to it.
