Sustaining High Frequency Energy

Jaclyn

Hello , hello , hello and welcome to The Freq Show . Today we are going to be focusing on mindset and , specifically four ways to sustain your own energy . I am excited to be categorizing out these episodes so that , as you are scrolling through all of the options you have , in whatever platform you listen to podcast episodes , you can pick and choose what really stands out to you from our podcast and hopefully , everything stands out to you . But I value your time , I value your energy and with that , I want this new way of naming our episodes to be something that is helpful for you . If you have any feedback on that at all , feel free to DM me , reach out however you want , and I'd love to hear your feedback . So , four ways to sustain your own energy . I am writing this because I need this information and let me just paint the picture .

Jaclyn

Since mid-November no early November my husband and I went to Italy with our son and my mother and my mother-in-law . We got back from Italy right before Thanksgiving . Then the holiday season set in and we had a family-filled holiday season with multiple guests . Our home was like a temporary Airbnb . I remember one day stripping the beds . We have two guest rooms right now because our son still co-sleeps with us , so his room is like part of this Airbnb situation , and I was stripping the beds my husband was helping me too and putting the bedding back on the same day for more guests to come . So , while I'm grateful for family , it's also been a lot . And then , in addition to that first world problem , our nanny unexpectedly became a yoga teacher and gave us her two weeks notice the week before Christmas , so it was actually just one week of notice , which everything happens for us , I truly , truly believe that , and it's wonderful . What has happened since ? However , as someone with a loaded work schedule and a lot on their plate , there's been a lot of logistical things to figure out , and Sam is absolutely in the same boat . He's taken on an additional project that I'll let him tell you guys about . I don't even know if I've told you guys about this , but I was hired by an NFL player and his beautiful wife to completely redo this home for them , and so we have just had so much going on .

Jaclyn

Our lives have kind of been upended with lack of a schedule since November , the holiday season , guests not having a nanny , and that you know , normal scheduling , and so it has been a challenging start to the new year and today is the 20th Inauguration Day , woohoo ! Yes ! And I also haven't really had time to set intentions for the new year in a way that I like to do it , where I take some space , I take some quiet , I have a cup of tea . I really think about what I want to call in and what I want to do , because I've basically been in survival mode and Sam has basically been in survival mode , but for the few minutes that I did think about it , what I thought was I have got to figure out how to sustain my own high vibrational , high frequency energy throughout the year . If my voice sounds a little stuffed up , it's because I have whatever flu is going around . I think I'm on the tail end of it , but I still have a lot of congestion . So if I sound stuffy , that's why but here's the deal I have a tendency to go , go , go until the wheels fall off and my adrenal glands and my nervous system are just totally taxed .

Jaclyn

My husband has said to me you don't know how to relax , you don't know how to take a vacation , even in Italy . You know we were there for two weeks , which , oh my gosh , what a privilege . I was always on my feet , always doing something . I always wanted to see something . Rather than and I took a few moments , but rather than really like soaking it in I kept myself on the go , which is my issue . Nobody's forcing me to do that , but just goes to show you I have a tendency to go until the wheels fall off . Like I said , my adrenals and my nervous system are just taxed and then , as a result , it takes me a while to recover and I get really frustrated that I'm not as fruitful as I want to be . But if I take a step back from an objective perspective , it's so hard to create when you don't have any gas in the tank , right , it's hard to be fruitful , to be productive when you are zapped .

Jaclyn

So I'm writing this episode for myself as much as I'm writing it for you , and figuring out how to sustain my own high frequency . Energy is of the utmost importance to me , because it's my Achilles heel right now that I will go , go , go and then burn out . And go , go , go and burn out , and I've talked about this on my former podcast , Self-worth . This is my tendency . This is my Achilles heel . I get so excited that I don't know when to stop and then my body forces me to stop , which , if you've ever been there , not a great feeling . So I want to master like truly master how to sustain my own high frequency energy . I can't keep cycling the way that I have before , and I'm sure that's why I got sick again . Right , I'm sick right now with whatever this is that's going around . So I want to share my plan with you and the thoughts that I wrote down in regard to sustaining my own energy and how to do that . And really it's so simple . A lot of this is stuff that you'll go . Yeah , that's a no brainer .

Jaclyn

But for those of us that are type A , that always feel like we are needing to do the next thing , we can't sit down . We've got to be doing the laundry and making the dinner and writing the podcast episode and being the best mom and best wife ever . These are just friendly , gentle reminders to keep in our back pocket when we start to feel our high vibrational , high frequency energy decreasing . So, number one is that, this is a I want to explain this to you a little bit before I say it . But my Achilles heel , just like running and running until the wheels fall off is over committing , and that's the sister to that right . So my Achilles heel is over committing myself . I have always done this .

Jaclyn

When my husband and I first started dating , he was like your schedule is so jam-packed , how do you sustain this ? There's no room for anything . And he was right . And I think , psychologically , when we overschedule ourselves , we're probably trying to avoid something . Maybe not , maybe some of us just love being productive and love being very efficient , which that's definitely part of me . But I know , for instance , when I was in Italy , there was some stuff going on that I was just like , all right , I got to keep going , I got to keep going , I got to keep going . So what I am going to commit to do to doing is , when an opportunity comes up , when a lunch date , brunch date , dinner date , business , whatever anything comes up , I am going to stop , look at my schedule and the demands on my time that are already in existence and then make a decision . So I'm going to stop , I'm going to consider what's already on my schedule and the demands on my time and then make a decision .

Jaclyn

I know this sounds elementary , but my default is the word yes . It just is . My default is yes and I know in my guts when I agree to something that's out of alignment . Yet I often do it because I'm a people pleaser . I don't want to hurt people's feelings , and this happens often with committing my time and committing our home to guests coming through , and I love having people over . But the whole Airbnb scenario where we are saying goodbye to guests and then welcoming new ones in the same 24 hour period , is too much and it has to stop .

Jaclyn

I have an almost three-year-old , I have a demanding career , I have a husband , I have a dog , which she's much less demanding than anything else , but I just I can't say yes to everything anymore and have high frequency mental health , high frequency physical health , high frequency spiritual health . I just can't , and I have to love myself enough to say no . And may this be permission for you to love yourself enough to say no , Okay . So that's number one . I'm going to stop my automatic yes and look at my schedule and the demands on my time before I make a decision . Number two is I want to consistently , preemptively , calibrate my own energy . Sam , and I have an app that helps us do this , but you can do it however you want . Maybe it's taking a walk for you .

Jaclyn

Meditation , doing things that I love to do , like reading , like spending time with my close friends , like going on a date with my husband , working on projects that bring me joy . This project for the NFL player and his family has been like a joy bomb . It's been so much fun to work on and I'm so grateful for it . Also , eating well , exercising , sleeping If I want to have high frequency energy and sustain my own energy , I have to be intentional about calibrating it right and getting ready for my day , and so for me , that looks like and I was so consistent with this before having a child , and so some of that is just to be expected when you become a mother . But I was so consistent with meditating In one of my old meditation apps I think I had like 275 days of straight meditation . So so , so consistent and committed . But meditation , oh , it helps me so much and the calibrations in our Freq App help me so much .

Jaclyn

Truly , I write those , and Sam writes those , because we need to hear them and if we need to hear them , chances are through universal intelligence . You need to hear them . Other people need to hear them . They're so beautiful and they tune the frequency of our energy . Also , reading in the morning and doing some journaling , even if it's just a couple of sentences , this calibrates my energy . This gets me ready for the day when I am on my game . I also do journaling , where I and I've talked about this in a calibration and in the podcast , but I future frequency compose where I talk about the energy that I want to feel throughout the day and call it in before I even feel it .

Jaclyn

So calibrating my energy, eating high frequency foods , you know high quality protein , high quality veggies , high quality fruits , beans , nuts all the things that are one ingredient that makes me feel so energetic . Exercising , sleeping I've been so out of my routine the last couple of months and I've gone to the gym here and there , but it hasn't been nearly as consistent as it usually is . And sometimes that happens and it's okay and I'm not going to beat myself up over it . But when I exercise regularly , I feel better . When I eat well , I feel better , not only physically but mentally and spiritually . When I sleep well , it changes everything . I got almost nine hours of sleep last night . That is the first time in weeks , maybe months , that that has happened and I feel totally , totally different , approaching my day with that kind of well-slept energy , so intentionally calibrating my energy every day so that it can be sustainable , because you cannot go forward on an empty tank . You just can't All right .

Jaclyn

Number three is space and alone time . These are self-explanatory , but I have found that , because I've pushed myself so hard , when it's time to then create , I go well , I don't really have any ideas right now , versus when I give myself 30 minutes or an hour or even oh , moms , you can totally relate to this like a luscious full day or something like that , where you have time and space to yourself . All these ideas bubble up , all of these inspirational things bubble up when I have some space and some alone time . And if I don't schedule that , it doesn't usually happen . And so I need to go back to the artist date from Julia Cameron . She wrote the Artist's Way and every week she takes herself on an artist date , and I need to go back to that way of thinking , where space and alone time is not a luxury , it's a necessity , because it allows me to show up as the most high frequency version of myself . So I need that space , I need that alone time and I need to be intentional about it every single week , even if it's one hour a week . I need that for my physical health , I need that for my mental health , I need that for my spiritual health . It makes me such a better person in every area of my life Better mother , wife , friend , business partner , etc .

Prioritizing Sleep and Rest for Balance

Jaclyn

And then the last thing and I touched on this , though is sleep and rest . These are areas that I have , in the past , neglected . I remember when my son was born . Well before my son was born , I had horrible , horrible pregnancy insomnia my entire pregnancy , so I was up almost every night for a couple of hours , if not more , and it was brutal , brutal . And then , after you have a baby , obviously you're up a lot , because they wake up throughout the night to be fed , and then , after those beginning stages of Roman waking up all night , I was still waking up all the time to go check on him to make sure he was okay , and also because my nervous system was just completely shot , and so my sleep schedule was completely shot , and I kept on working throughout the day and going about life as if I had all the energy in the world and I literally burnt my adrenals out . Literally . I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue , which causes thyroid issues and all kinds of other myriad issues .

Jaclyn

Right , so we need our bodies to be in balance and in order to be in balance , we have to have sleep , we have to have rest . If you struggle in these areas , I encourage you to get whatever help is necessary to dial these in For sleep . I love a good sleep mask . I love my aura ring . I love magnesium . I think there are all kinds of really wonderful herbal supplements that you can take and , if necessary , I pop a Unisom . A Unisom is an over-the-counter , non-addictive sleep medication that , if I really need it , I will take one and knock myself out so that I can get some freaking sleep .

Jaclyn

It is so important for every aspect of our lives physically , mentally , spiritually , all the things we need sleep and we need rest . I am , historically , regarding rest , someone who you know . If you're going to watch a movie , I will sit down , but then I'll get up 45 times to do things that I think I need to do Switch out the laundry , fold the laundry, text someone that I forgot to text earlier , look up something on Amazon that I need to buy because we're almost out of X , Y and Z . I just, It's hard for me to turn my brain off . And what I've realized as I've gotten older . I'm 38 now I'm hopefully becoming wise , as these gray hairs are popping up . Rest is not a luxury , it's a necessity .

Jaclyn

I was listening to a pastor yesterday , Mark Driscoll , and it was a sermon that he gave over a year ago , but I was listening to it and he was talking about how sleep and rest are biblical . It's , you know , on the seventh day God rested after creating creation and humanity . It's biblical and in our American culture that gosh in so many ways . I appreciate and love that . I was born in this country where people are free to dream and go after their dreams . I know it's harder for some than others . I don't want to deny any of that . I know that there's a lot of corruption in our country . I know that there's a lot that needs to be worked on , although I have a lot of hope for the next four years .

Jaclyn

I think our culture has lost the ability to really rest and sleep and enjoy life because we have been so on the go that our nervous systems are screwed up , our adrenals are screwed up , our sleep is screwed up and we just have to heal that . If we want to be the best , we have to rest . I mean , truly , we have got to sleep and rest . So the four ways that I am working on and hopefully this is helpful for you , but the four ways that I am working , the four areas that I'm working on to sustain my own energy are stopping that automatic yes , and looking at my calendar , considering the demands on my time and then making a decision when an opportunity comes up .

Jaclyn

Second thing is intentionally , preemptively calibrating my energy so that I show up as the version of myself that I want to show up as every day . Right , the version that you are listening to right now isn't quite that , but she's getting there , she's starting to feel better and I want to be that all the time and life happens . We can't be it 100% of the time , but I bet you I can be it most of the time . Third thing is space and alone time and being intentional about that , scheduling it out , making sure you have some space to think and be inspired and create and do those things that fill you up . And then , last , sleep and rest . Really good sleep , and I'm talking about eight hours and rest Eight hours or more , and then rest .

Jaclyn

We need rest every single day . So turning off the computer , turning off the phone and putting it in another room , allowing not only your body to rest , but your brain , your spirit , your soul , we need it . We need these things in order to be the highest frequency version of ourselves . So I hope this information was helpful for you . Thank you so much for listening . I want to give each and every one of you a giant hug . All right , Live on purpose . Live on frequency .
