Close 2025 with integrity. Embody 2026 with clarity.
There are moments when “moving forward” is not the answer.
Not because you are lost. Not because you are stuck.
But because something inside you knows that moving forward without closing would mean carrying what no longer belongs.
Unfinished cycles.
Old identities.
Fatigue that doesn’t come from effort but from accumulation.
If you feel that 2025 changed you—quietly, deeply, sometimes painfully—this workbook was created for you.
This is not a planner. It is a passage.
From Shedding to the Gallop is a guided rite of transition.
A space to:
close 2025 consciously
release what is complete
and step into 2026 lighter, clearer, and more sovereign
Not through force. Through completion.
Why this work matters (especially now)
Time does not move in straight lines.It moves in cycles.
And every authentic beginning requires a conscious ending.
2025 carries the energy of:
the Snake — shedding, truth, inner transformation
Cycle 9 — completion, release, forgiveness
2026 opens with:
the Horse — movement, embodiment, direction
Cycle 1 — new beginnings, momentum, initiation
When cycles are not closed:
energy leaks continue
the same patterns follow us forward
momentum turns into pressure
When cycles are honored:
clarity returns
energy stabilises
action becomes clean and aligned
This workbook exists to support that exact transition.
What most people do instead (and why it doesn’t work)
Most people:
rush into January with new goals
try to “start fresh” without looking back
add structure without removing what drains them
And then wonder why:
motivation fades
exhaustion returns
the same challenges repeat
This is not a discipline problem. It is a completion problem.
What this workbook actually is
From Shedding to the Gallop is a 33-page guided journey, designed to be completed in one deep session or over several days.
It combines:
symbolic intelligence (Snake → Horse, Cycle 9 → Cycle 1)
grounded reflection
nervous-system awareness
and practical integration
It is both inner work and real-world clarity.
What you will move through inside the 33 pages
✦ Close 2025 consciously
Identify what has naturally ended
Complete emotional, relational, and symbolic loops
Alchemise challenges into wisdom
Honour lessons without self-judgment.
✦ Shed what no longer fits
Outdated identities and roles
Energetic baggage and limiting beliefs
Commitments and “dreams” that belong to a past version of you
✦ Restore your energy
Identify hidden energy leaks (obligations, habits, relationships)
Rebuild nervous-system safety during transition
Create space before moving forward
✦ Clarify your direction for 2026
Choose your guiding word and emotional frequency
Define aligned success (not performative goals)
Set 3 major objectives that truly matter
Identify the single bottleneck that slows everything else
✦ Create sustainable momentum
Design supportive systems instead of pressure
Clarify what to automate, delegate, or stop
Define non-negotiables and personal standards
Establish daily, weekly, and quarterly alignment rituals
✦ Close the portal
A final closing ritual
Integration and aftercare
A sovereign personal commitment for 2026
This is not about doing more. It is about moving differently.
✦ Who this workbook is for
This workbook is for you if:
2025 asked more of you than you expected
you feel ready for a clean, grounded new beginning
you value depth, embodiment, and clarity
you want momentum without burnout
It is especially supportive for:
soul-led entrepreneurs and leaders
sensitive, intuitive, high-responsibility individuals
anyone who refuses to carry old weight into a new cycle
✦ What this workbook is not
Not a productivity planner
Not a manifestation shortcut
Not a mindset hack
It does not promise instant results.
What it offers is clarity, coherence, and energetic integrity—the foundations of any sustainable success.
✦ Common hesitations (answered honestly)
“I don’t have much time.” → This workbook takes 60–90 minutes or can be done in 3 short sessions. It saves time by preventing repetition and exhaustion.
“I’ve already done reflection work.” → This is not generic journaling. It is a structured closing process designed specifically for this transition.
“I’ll do it later.” → Transitions are portals. They do not stay open forever.
