Clarity Comes Through Movement

A steady way to begin 2026

“Clarity comes through movement.”

Hi Friend,

Happy New Year!! 🤍

I’m really glad to be starting 2026 with you.
However you’re arriving—energized, tired, hopeful, or unsure—I’m so glad you’re here.

Over the holidays, many of us in the Niki Nana community spent time letting go of 2025 and identifying a North Star for the year ahead. I took that same time to get clear on how I want to show up for you—more intentionally, more honestly, and in ways that feel genuinely supportive, no matter what season of life you’re in.

If 2025 asked a lot of you, you weren’t imagining it.

In the Chinese Zodiac, 2025 was the Year of the Snake.
Snake years aren’t about pushing forward—they’re about becoming more honest.

They bring discernment, energy conservation, and the shedding of outdated identities, relationships, and structures. They bring wisdom—learning what energy still belongs, and what no longer serves you.

For many people, that looked like this:
Relationships changed.
Situations dissolved.
Old versions of yourself became unsustainable.

This wasn’t failure.


This was Snake energy doing exactly what it’s designed to do—paring things down to what’s real for you now.

If you pause for a moment and look honestly at the past year, you may notice how anything false, outgrown, or misaligned had a way of loosening its grip—whether you were ready or not.

And now, we move.

2026 brings us into the Year of the Fire Horse.

Where the Snake asked for stillness, discernment, and endings, the Fire Horse brings momentum, action, expression, and expansion.

It represents the moment when insight turns into motion—when clarity begins to ask to be lived.

Horse energy doesn’t linger in over-analysis.
It responds to truth with action.

This is a year that rewards:

  • Clear direction over perfect plans

  • Honest movement over hesitation

  • Trusting your inner signal instead of waiting for permission

Forward momentum this year doesn’t have to be dramatic.
Sometimes it looks like choosing what aligns—even when it’s quieter, simpler, or less impressive on the outside.

Here’s a reflection you can return to throughout the year:

Instead of asking, “What should I do this year?” try asking:
“What wants to move forward—and feels aligned with the best version of myself?”

You might notice:

  • A conversation you’ve been postponing

  • A decision you already know the answer to

  • A creative impulse that keeps returning

  • A version of yourself that feels ready to step out of waiting mode

You don’t need the whole map.
Horse energy responds to direction and motion—not certainty.

Clarity comes through movement.

This year, Dose of Good will continue to be a place where we slow things down just enough to notice the good —what’s real, what’s aligned, and what’s ready to move life forward… to bring in more peace, love, community, light, and joy into our lives. 

No matter where you’re starting from, you’re welcome here.

Here’s to a year of momentum, grounded movement, and staying connected to what matters most.

With love,
Krystal ♥️
