The Winter Arc challenge is a goal-setting trend gaining popularity on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Participants commit to specific goals during the colder months, aiming to achieve them before the new year. Experts advise setting realistic goals and scheduling dedicated time for their pursuit.

(AP Photo/Jeff Roberson, File)The goal-setting challenge was created online by fitness and wellness influencers, so there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach or standard definition. There are over 400,000 posts on Instagram with the caption #winterarc, and almost 600,000 on TikTok.
For many of those trying the trend, the Winter Arc involves utilizing the cold, dark earlier months of winter to turn inward and get a jump start on their goals, with the intent of having them in place by the time Jan. 1 rolls around. It’s also meant to encourage participants to be extremely disciplined and rigid with their goals since it’s a shorter period to get them done rather than an entire year, or indefinitely. Laura Galebe, an influencer and the self-proclaimed “CEO of Glowup Series,” posts videos to her social media accounts talking about her Winter Arc experience. She used the time to commit to “walking every day, journaling, and sticking to (her) skincare and wellness routines.” “I found it very transformative both mentally and physically,” Galebe says. “The consistent movement helped me stay energized and the structure made the season feel a lot less heavy.”Although some say the Winter Arc challenge can begin in October, it’s never too late to start. According to Alex Rothstein, an exercise psychologist with the New York Institute of Technology, the best way to dive in is to carve out time each day to work on your goals. “If you make sure to actively plan and schedule each commitment,” Rothstein says, “you will have an easier time adhering to the program.” He also recommends setting reasonable, realistic goals that are achievable from day to day. “Recognize that if unforeseen circumstances cause you to miss a day or miss a specific goal in a day, it does not mean you failed the entire process,” he say
