The Winter Arc begins now! Maybe you’ve already planned yours or maybe you’ve never heard of this wellness trend. No matter where you are at with the Winter Arc, we invite you to give this Gen Z trend a go this fall as we prepare for the season of goal setting that is just around the corner in January!
What is the Winter Arc?
Let’s dive in! The intention of the Winter Arc is to set you up for success in January. It is an opportunity to establish a routine ahead of time so that you are positioned to succeed with your New Year goals. Heading into the new year with a Winter Arc means already having established healthy habits and routines tailored to your personal health goals – physical and mental! This isn’t a time to set unachievable goals and go hard for a few weeks – the Winter Arc is all about developing a sustainable routine that works for you and your lifestyle, ultimately leading to a healthier lifestyle!
Not all Winter Arcs are the Same!
Your Winter Arc does not need to be the same as your friend’s! The beauty – and benefit – of the Winter Arc is the idea of establishing one that is customized to you and your goals. Maybe you want to be more productive, more active, more mindful, or rest more – these are all excellent goals to pursue with your Winter Arc.
Start your Winter Arc
October is the perfect time to get going on your new routine. Here are a few ways that you can build out your Winter Arc:
- Join the 5am club – wake up early and don’t snooze that alarm!
- Walk at least 10,000 steps per day.
- Increase your water intake – stay hydrated!
- Read more – set a goal of one chapter per day or one book per month.
- Join a community – strengthen social connections in your life.
- Avoid scrolling in the first thirty minutes of your day.
- Exercise more – set yourself a weekly target!
- Journal more often for your mental health.
- Increase your protein intake.
- Get early morning sunlight – help your brain and body to set a strong Circadian rhythm.
Your Winter Arc doesn’t need to be complicated – in fact, it should be simple in order to increase the odds of success! And remember, Vivo is here to support you along the way!
