Have you been feeling reflective this month, or perhaps more motivated than usual to reach your long-held goals? If yes, you might be unknowingly enacting your version of “October Theory,” a viral term recently coined on TikTok. The theory posits that fall, not the new year, is actually the best, most effective time for making changes in your life.
October brings changing weather, beautiful colors, a new school year and a good time to look for a new job. By getting a big jump on all those positive changes usually saved for New Year’s resolutions, you can avoid all the self-loathing and disappointment experienced in February caused by the ditching of those unattainable resolutions. In October they are just fleeting hopes and dreams not taken seriously by your sub-conscious like they are when put in the form of an annual attempt to improve yourself. By Thanksgiving all hope is lost and you can enjoy the gluttony and maxing out of your credit cards that make for a joyous Christmas season!
I think I’ll follow a heart-healthy diet and drop 20 lbs. Hahahahahahahahaha, Fuhgeddaboudit!
See? It works!
