The morning routine I've never shared until now
Setting the frequency thermostat and my 59 daily reminders
Every morning, before I do anything else—before I read anything, respond to anything, or consume any information—I listen to a recording.
This recording anchors me into my own truths. It’s how I set my frequency for the day.
But before I share about the recording and reveal its contents, there is a fundamental concept for us to cover.
It’s about being like a thermostat instead of a thermometer.
A thermometer passively reacts to its environment, reflecting the temperature of whatever surrounds it. In contrast, a thermostat sets the temperature, creating and maintaining its own environment regardless of external conditions.
For years, I, like many, lived like a thermometer, allowing my mood, energy, and mindset to be dictated by the world around me—by what happened, what others said, and whatever challenges the day threw at me.
But at some point, about a decade ago, I realized that I didn’t want to be at the mercy of external forces anymore.
I wanted to be the one setting my own state, like a thermostat, determining how I think, feel, and act regardless of what’s happening around me.
I wanted to be the conductor of my internal state.
This led to decade long tour of learning how to do that. Books (so many books), podcasts, therapists, coaches, courses, traveling, meditation, writing, coaching, training, etc.
And here we are.
What I set out to experience has come to fruition. I am no longer the thermometer I once was. Today I take complete responsibility for the way I think, feel, and act. I also take complete responsibility for everything in my reality. And I’ve learned to exercise this responsibility more and more masterfully along the way. In other words, my inner state is more like a thermostat I’m able to set and maintain.
Along the way, I’ve developed my own life philosophy, a philosophy that continues to take shape.
This life philosophy has come from my own learning and exploration. It’s made up of my realizations, insights, discoveries, and revelations… many of which are at odds the beliefs that were installed by my environment and early life experiences and conditioned over time.
Those early beliefs, they weren’t my own. They were given to me. Yet, through my repeated exposure to them, they became my default. They became automatic.
When our brains tell the same story over and over again, we forget it’s a story at all. We begin to treat our thoughts as truths. They aren’t.
The new realizations, insights, discoveries, and revelations that became the foundation of my life philosophy weren’t my default. They weren’t the automatic way my brain fires.
They were powerful, yet so easy to forget.
We are conditioned by repetition—by the thoughts we think, the beliefs we hold, and the stories we tell ourselves day after day. When you hear or learn something once, it’s rarely enough to make a lasting impact on the way you live.
Reconditioning requires consistent repetition.
That’s why I developed a simple but powerful practice.
This practice allowed those novel beliefs, the foundation of my life philosophy, to become automatic.
Here’s a brief history of how this practice developed.
When I realized how much I was forgetting what I learned in books, I started to underline the passages and key points that stood out to me the most, along with my usual marginalia.
When I finished a book, I’d go back through and capture all my notes and underlined passages on index cards, which I’d review throughout the week. As those index cards grew, I’d start to group them together thematically. Then later I started to type them because they were easier to sort and review.
Many of these index cards became my earliest blog posts when I was on Wordpress, and they attracted a loyal group of readers who appreciated what I had to share.
It was through regularly reviewing these notes (and writing about them) that they began to really set in. Overtime, I began to live in new ways. I created new defaults.
New defaults meant that I didn’t need to review those notes as much anymore. They were installed, so to speak.
Still, my learning continued, so there were always new layers of exploration I was tapping into. With each layer, there were new learnings, insights, and discoveries I wanted to remember.
So I did something a little different. I took the ones that were most prominent for me, distilled them into short reminders, and recorded them. This way I could listen to them whenever I wanted.
First, I just used the voice memo app on my phone. Then it progressed into its current form, a high-quality audio that I overlayed with a 528hz frequency, one of the Solfeggio frequencies. Also known as the miracle frequency or love frequency, it is the frequency of transformation and miracles. Perfect.
I listen to it first thing each morning.
These aren’t just affirmations; they’re foundational truths, insights, and realizations that I’ve gathered over time—my first principles. They set the tone for my day, anchor my mindset, and help me maintain my frequency, so that I move through life the way I choose.
This isn’t just any recording; it’s a carefully crafted collection of reminders I wrote and recorded for myself. It evolves overtime, as I use this method to remind myself of what I know to be true, what I’m prioritizing, and how I intend to live each day.
The important part is the consistency of listening. I made it a habit to listen to them each morning, before my mind is exposed to anything else. This practice sets my own frequency for the day, like a thermostat, instead of letting the world dictate it, like a thermometer.
This practice is so ingrained in my daily life that I forgot it’s unique and might be helpful to others. That was until I was speaking with a friend who said, “You have to share this.”
So, for the first time, I’m sharing my daily reminders.
These are the foundations of my daily demeanor, mindset, and faith. They help me elevate my frequency and live in alignment with the principles I’ve chosen for myself.
My intention is that they will inspire you to create your own and try this out for yourself. And, of course, feel free to borrow as many as you’d like.
Below are my current daily reminders. All 59 of them…
