New month, new you.
With the onset of fall weather, TikTokkers have declared that October is more of a reset than January, claiming it’s the optimal month for a “glow” or major transformation.
They call their hypothesis the “October Theory”.
Content creator Chloe Van Berkel declared that “October is the second New Year of the year,” explaining in a viral TikTok video that it’s a time to reflect on the past year and ponder what changes they can make to it. improve yourself for the rest of the year.
This, she said, can result in making “a lot of big life changes and a lot of important life decisions” — and, not to mention, it’s the start of “handcuff season.”
“The fall season often sparks a natural inclination for transformation,” psychotherapist and On Par Therapy founder Brianna Paruolo told Bustle.
“As the leaves change color and fall, we are reminded of the beauty of letting go and embracing new beginnings.”
Others called October a “mini January”, while one creator said the months from October to December bring the “crazy plot twists” to life, and influencer Izzy Utterson said October is a “springboard” for a “glow” 90-day. .
“Research suggests that it takes an average of 66 days for a new behavior to become automatic, although this can vary depending on the complexity of the habit and individual differences,” Paruolo said.
“By starting in October, you give yourself roughly 90 days until the new year—enough time to not only create a habit, but to start seeing meaningful progress.”
Psychic and astrologer Inbaal Honigman told Bustle that she considers October “more of a New Year than the actual New Year.”
“It is not only the season of endings, but also of new beginnings,” explained Honigman. “For example, giving up a job that doesn’t inevitably serve you in the face of a better job. Saying goodbye to one [toxic] the partner will draw in a [better] one, etc.â€
Coincidentally, October comes right after the autumnal equinox in late September, when the length of the days changes and shortens.
“This combination of environmental changes and societal rhythms creates a perfect storm for personal transformation,” continued Paruolo, “allowing us to shed old habits—like trees shedding leaves—and cultivate new aspects of ourselves.”
