Your Frequency Is What You Do Frequently

"The power is in you. The answer is in you. And you are the answer to all your searches: you are the goal. You are the answer. It's never outside."
— Eckhart Tolle

I used to tell people I was into calisthenics, yoga, and meditation. And I wasn't lying—I genuinely loved those practices. But if you looked at how I actually spent my days, you'd find me learning, writing out my thoughts, and writing code. For hours. Daily.

No matter how much I wanted to believe my frequency gave off the energy of someone zen and balanced, the truth was undeniable: my frequency was that of a creator, a writer, a builder.

And that's when it hit me: your frequency isn't what you claim to be. It's what you do frequently.

What Does Frequency Mean for Humans?

In physics, frequency is the rate at which something occurs. In spirituality, frequency refers to the energetic vibration you emit into the world. But when we talk about human frequency, we're really talking about something simpler and more profound: what you practice daily becomes the energy you give off.

The only difference between those who do and those who don't is the amount of times they actually do it. Their present moment is them doing what they love. And the present is the only real thing we experience.

So the question becomes: What are you presently doing?

Not what do you wish you were doing. Not what you tell people you're doing. What are you actually doing with your time, your energy, your attention?

Because that's your frequency. That's the signal you're broadcasting to the universe and to yourself.

The Cracks in My Confidence

As a kid, I had unshakeable confidence. No matter the situation, I believed I could figure it out. But when I entered the field of software engineering and spent time around family who valued certainty over intuition, cracks started to form.

I was always told I needed to know every detail before making a move. Family members would tell me I was a dreamer who needed to be more realistic. When I said we should move somewhere new, the response was always: "We can't do that without a plan."

Those words took root in my mind. My confidence—once pure and unadulterated—shifted. I got too used to doing things based on plans, on making sense of everything before taking action. And while there's a place for strategy in execution, the entire process sometimes needs pure belief that it will work... even when you have no idea how.

What the Cats Taught Me

After getting laid off from my first software engineering job, I spent time at my parents' house in NYC. My confidence was shattered. I doubted myself constantly, especially before interviews.

That's when I started hanging out with the stray cats in the neighborhood.

I'd watch them just live their lives—moving with total certainty, acting without hesitation, taking risks without second-guessing. It was relaxing to witness. But it was also heartbreaking. Because humans? We've created mental cages to restrict our autonomy. We've convinced ourselves we need permission, plans, guarantees.

Those cats didn't ask for permission. They didn't need a five-year plan. They just acted. Even when they got hurt, it didn't stop them.

And watching them reminded me of something crucial: everything we use in this world came from a thought. The plane, the car, the phone—they all started as "impossible" ideas in someone's mind. But those people didn't wait for proof. They believed, and they built.

My confidence didn't need justification. It just needed my belief and my willingness to make it work, no matter what.

Meditation: Silencing the Noise

Meditation became the one tool that silenced all the noise—both mental and external—so I could start to hear my inner intuition speak my true desires.

The first thing my inner voice told me when I finally heard it clearly was: Stop. We don't want to do any of this.

That shook me. Because "this" was everything I thought I wanted—the house, the cars, the family, the stable career. Hearing that truth made it hard to continue working toward those things.

So I asked myself: What do I actually want?

The answer came quickly: Travel. Experience the world. Create.

Through meditation, I also learned about the Hermetic laws—particularly that our entire existence is vibrations, frequency, and mind. I realized that intuition is a feeling that pushes us to take action on something that doesn't make logical sense. And if, mentally, someone thinks they can't, they won't. But if someone thinks there's a way to make it happen, they will.

I also discovered something liberating: I am not my thoughts. The real me is the one observing and reacting to those thoughts. Which means I get to choose what thoughts have power in my head.

Thoughts that don't serve me? I tell them: You are not welcome here. You have no power in my world.

Thoughts that align with who I'm becoming? I tell them: Yes, you are welcome here. You have all the power to grow.

Thoughts are just echoes of the programming placed upon us throughout our lives. And we can control them.

Building My Frequency Intentionally

I started being intentional about finding like-minded individuals who valued autonomy, meditation, mindfulness, and living based on that internal fire. I found them on social media—people who shared my perspectives appeared right after I decided to pursue writing again.

I knew they were my people when I didn't need to be different to fit in. I could share my radical thoughts, and they wanted to hear them. It was heartbreaking and amazing at the same time—I'd hoped family would be that space, but it wasn't. These strangers became my community.

That community pushed me to start this blog. It pushed me to work on my media hub at keys2elevate.com. My vision is to create stories in different formats—animation, books, zines—and release them online. To build a social marketplace focused solely on artists, revolutionaries, and spiritual people so their art can speak for itself. To create a mobile game that pushes the boundaries of what games should promote—people working together within a system that usually pushes competition.

Every day, I reject the thought that there's no way I can run a media company with the products I'm envisioning. I reject that notion because it has no power in my world. I will make it happen because it's not only for me—it's for the world of artists to benefit from. It's bigger than me, which is exactly why it will work.

Many media conglomerates were started by a person or small group. It all started in the mind. I'm just one of many who will do the same.

What My Frequency Actually Looks Like

Here's what my daily frequency looks like now:

When I wake up, I embrace stillness and envision myself building the life I desire. I see a bridge—the things I need to do—that takes me to my destination. To get there, I must build that bridge. So I envision myself laying each brick. Sometimes I envision myself immersed in the life I want, just to feel what I'm working toward.

After meditation, I fold my blanket, clean up my resting area, and stretch—from my feet all the way up to my neck. Yoga taught me how important movement is. I felt restricted within my own body, so I made stretching non-negotiable.

Then I read something I'm genuinely interested in. I check my phone, play a game, watch videos that uplift my mentality and confidence. I like hearing from multiple people that I can do anything I set my mind toward. Where I set my focus, energy flows.

Then I code. Bug fixes, feature implementations. Sometimes I learn something new—like how to teach or communicate—because I'll need those skills. About 20 minutes into eating lunch, I remember to join a live group meditation where we learn about opening different chakras.

After that session, I get back to coding. Then I write my thoughts down, which often becomes a blog post. At night, I play my mobile game again, watch more videos, and prepare for rest.

That's my frequency. Not what I wish it was. Not what I tell people it is. What it actually is.

The Answers Are Already Inside You

You don't need to look outward for what to do next. The answer isn't in a book, a guru, a course, or a plan. It's inside you, waiting to be discovered.

Listen to your inner voice. Pay attention to the feeling pulling you toward something—even if it's scary. Especially if it's scary.

Your autonomy matters. You get to change on your terms, when it feels right. Not when someone else says you're ready. Not when the plan is perfect. But when your intuition says: Now.

As Chris Prentiss wrote: "The answers are never 'out there.' All the answers are 'in there,' inside you, waiting to be discovered."

Your Challenge

This week, track your frequency. Not what you think it is, but what it actually is. Write down how you're spending your time. What are you doing frequently?

Then ask yourself: Does this frequency align with who I want to become?

If not, start small. Add one intentional practice to your day. Meditate for five minutes. Write for ten. Move your body. Create something. Whatever lights your heart on fire or pulls at your intuition—do that.

Because your frequency is what you do frequently. And if you want to change your energy, you have to change your actions.

The power is in you. The answer is in you.

Now act like it.
