Today I’m kicking off my winter arc — basically an end-of-year lock-in so I’m not waiting until January to start my goals (and then losing focus mid-January). I’ve planned this so carefully to be achievable but still ambitious, and I’m sharing my 10 winter arc rules so you can do it with me. I chat through them while I’m doing my skincare, getting ready, and heading out for our morning walk (even though it was chaos with Coco getting off the lead and Milo on his bike). My non-negotiables are moving my body twice a day (one has to be outside, no matter the weather), doing morning and night skincare, eating 80/20 so I don’t fall into the “all or nothing” trap, and being in bed by 10:30 with my phone off at 10. I’m also doing “no dry days” because I’m terrible at drinking water, tracking my habits daily using a habit app, posting on TikTok every day, and reading 10 pages of a self-help book daily. The last two are getting dressed by 8:30 (pajamas make me unmotivated) and doing one hour of self-investment every day once the kids are asleep — stretching, gym, or working on YouTube/TikTok.
