THE WINTER ARC

I hate the winter. I hate winter more than I hate hookah. The perfect world is a world without winter, hookah, taco bell, crocs, and white suburban rappers who try to act hood. 

I’m too handsome for the winter. My well moisturized limbs are built for tropical climates only. I’m put on this planet to show my thighs as much as possible. They don’t deserve to be restricted in long johns. 

Since I hate this season so much it’s only right to go full beast mode and improve while in hibernation. 

Here are some tips for your Winter Arc. 

Think of this season as the training arc of your body, mind, and spirit. The goal is to be unrecognizable by everyone including yourself when the flowers bloom. You’re one of the flowers. Set goals for your body, mind, and spirit. 

It’s the growing season so growth should be in front of your mind and the back of your mind. 

Think about and write down your limits. Write down why and where they hold you back in life and create a counter attack. This is the opportunity for you to grow from your limits. 

Cut out distractions. ALL DISTRACTIONS. People have a tendency to keep distractions around that are good to them. Good or bad doesn’t matter. All distractions gotta go. Focus is everything. You gotta protect your focus as if it’s your child. If it does not serve your purpose, it has no place in your life. 

Limit the negative you see. Don't stop there and take it a step further and don’t respond to it. The problem is when the negativity appears on your doorstep instead of not answering the door you invite them into your home. It doesn’t make sense. You can’t save the world. You can’t change a lame. You can’t un-bitch a bitch. Negativity is none of your concern. 

Dive into creative activities. Draw, sing, sew, paint, anything. Doesn’t matter if you suck at it or you’re a master. Create something. 

Create a vision board but everything that you put on it write to yourself why everything on the board is there and how you will obtain it in full detail. 

Simplify your space. That junk drawer you have, dump everything out of it into the trash can. You don’t need any of that shit. Those clothes you haven’t looked at in a year, donate all of them. How can your mind be clear when your environment is cluttered? Clean out your fucking pantry. You know you ain't touched nothing in there in years. Minimal is how you need to live this winter. Bring back chore charts. Your space needs to be cleaned spotless once a week. No excuses. 

Find 3 books that will help your growth. Finish those 3 books in 3 months and apply them to your life. You should be reading EVERYDAY for the rest of winter. 

Interest is only the first step. You need to get to the second step which is commitment. 

Everything must be upgraded. It’s non negotiable. Self Worth upgraded. Beliefs upgraded. Knowledge upgraded. If you are not upgrading your life you are stagnating and making yourself an easy target of sadness. 

It gets dark early in the winter. Navigate through the darkness by transforming into the best version of you that you want to see. It’s up to you to shine no matter what.
