You may have seen this phrase across social media. I myself have only seen it a couple times. The Winter Arc. What is it? And why is everyone talking about it?
In truth, this phrase was not something I would expect to discuss. However, after talking about it with a friend, I found it an interesting topic to delve into. What is it? You may have guessed that it has something to do with the coming winter season and that an arc has to do with a portion of a story that may be coming to an end.
At least that is what I have come to insinuate. It may be something altogether more, depending on who is interpreting it. For my friend, for example, he has come to understand the phrase as a time to regain focus on ending the year (or the winter season/last couple months of the year) on goals and finishing the year strong.
So why is everyone doing it?
Much like those who take the new year to define a “new them”, this case of The Winter Arc is about challenging yourself to finish doing the things you set out to do in the beginning of the year. Kind of like finishing a marathon with a final push. It’s a very motivating message to those who may have been struggling throughout the year.
The Winter Arc in a sense, is an underdog tale or part of a finale to the redemption story. For those who feel like the main character of their lives, their story will come full circle by the end. No matter how the year began, or how it went, there is still time for those who would like to achieve what they thought impossible.
Even if you did accomplish so much, it’s good to look back and try to challenge yourself to do more. A lot can happen in a month, imagine where you will be in three. So to those hoping to look for inspiration on breaking bad habits, achieving new ones, or hitting their goals. Use “The Winter Arc” to help propel yourself forward.
