Shifting Your Emotional Frequency - Feel Good Again Series #5

In today’s episode, we explore what it really means to shift your emotional state - not by bypassing or faking it, but by honoring what’s true and finding your way to what feels a little bit better.

I share a personal story about a recent nervous system release where anger unexpectedly came up for me. I didn’t analyze or try to fix it. I simply felt it. And that’s the message today:

 We don’t always need to know why we’re feeling an emotion — just that it needs to be felt.

You’ll learn how to:

• Shift gently without forcing it
• Recognize what frequency you're currently holding
• Move toward feeling good again with small, honest steps

This isn’t about pretending. It’s about choosing - with compassion - where you want to go next emotionally.

Journaling Prompt:
What emotion have I been trying to skip over, suppress, or fix lately?
What might it be trying to teach or release?

Aligned Action Step:
Notice your emotional frequency today without judgment. Ask yourself: What would feel just a little bit better right now?  Choose one tiny action in that direction - a breath, a break, a moment of honesty - and take it.

This is one of those episodes that gently shifts something inside you — without pressure, without rush. Tune in when you're ready to reconnect to your inner emotional landscape. 💛

Welcome back to the Pure Possibilities podcast and the Feel Good Again series . Last week , we explored how your body remembers the unspoken stories it holds and the signals that it sends , and how learning to listen to those messages is the start of reconnecting back to you . Today , we're going to build on that by exploring how to gently shift your emotional frequency . Yes , we're finally getting to this . I know it's taken a couple of extra weeks . When we gently shift your emotional frequency , we're not pretending , we're not bypassing things . It's not like a fake it till you make it kind of thing or oh , just think positive and that'll make everything okay . I honestly went down that path for a while actually several years ago and it felt good in the moment , but it wasn't real and I was burying a lot of

my feelings by doing that . And so now I'm in a much healthier space where I actually feel what I'm feeling and allow those emotions to come up and express them . And that's where you don't want to bypass what you're actually feeling and the emotions that are coming up . What we're wanting to really tap into is not attaching the stories and then going down a path of spiraling , so it's really more about the consciousness and awareness and allowing yourself to feel what you're feeling . We want to be grounded in a way that honors what you feel and support you in moving forward gently , not just moving past everything that you're feeling and the emotions that are coming up . Before we dive into the tools and the mindset shifts , I want to say upfront it's not about fixing yourself Again . You're not broken . There's nothing wrong with you . This is about creating space , capacity , safety and choice . You are always , always at choice . I obviously offer so many different ideas of things that you can do or try , but please honor yourself and what actually feels good for you , because just because something works for me doesn't mean it's necessarily going to work for you . So I want to talk a little bit about the fact that you don't actually need to fix your feelings . You want to feel them . We've been taught to label them . You know happy is good , sad is bad , confident is good , being anxious is weak , but those aren't problems . Those are actually signals and their information , and when we use our emotions to inform us and guide us , then it helps us to move forward in a healthier way . Emotions are energy , energy in motion . They are meant to move . So when we suppress them , ignore them or shame them . That creates stuck energy and that's what causes us to feel heavy or off or completely disconnected from ourselves . The goal isn't to feel good all of the time . It's to be aware

Feeling vs Fixing Your Emotions

and know how to tend to yourself when you don't feel good , so that you can make that shift when you're ready to . It's not about bypassing . It's about honoring how you truly feel and the emotions that are coming up .

Speaker 1 3:37

It was interesting this last week I was doing a nervous system practice to do a release . There's a couple of things that I'm moving through right now and I created a space to intentionally be , still , move the energy and breathe , and it was really interesting because what actually came up for me was anger , and it was surprising to me because I was like where did that come from ? I didn't realize I was angry and I had anger in my body that needed to be released , and so when things like that come up , we don't need to know why Like I didn't need to know why that was there All I needed to know is that it was there and it needed to be felt . No clear story , no obvious reason , just deep rising anger that had been waiting for me to allow it to come up . So I didn't analyze it , I didn't try and figure out where it came from or what it meant . I just allowed it to move and I stayed curious . I let my body release , I breathed , I screamed into a pillow , I sighed just like a big and let it out , and I didn't try to make sense of it , I just allowed myself to feel it .

Speaker 1 5:11

We don't need to understand why . We just need to allow it to be there , let it be seen , felt , honored and released . That is when you are in emotional integrity with yourself . That is nervous system healing and that is shifting . So what does it mean to really shift gently ? So our nervous system is there to protect us and it's not built for big , dramatic leaps , especially when you're overwhelmed . That's why I use the word gently . A gentle shift could be putting your bare feet on the ground . It could be drinking water and putting your hand on your heart , playing a song that either softens you or lifts you up and moves the energy in your body . It could simply be saying to yourself I'm allowed to feel this and I'm also allowed to want relief from whatever it is that I'm feeling . Again , you don't need to know why . Just being connected to the fact that you're feeling , whatever you're feeling , it's a small compassionate pivot , not an escape . You don't have to go from I feel

Gentle Shifting for Nervous System Healing

Speaker 1 6:30

awful to I'm totally fine and everything's amazing . But what if you could go from feeling numb to just maybe a little bit curious , from feeling shame to just being in a neutral space ? Those are real shifts and that's how emotional frequency changes just gentle , small shifts .

Speaker 1 6:53

A big part of what really keeps us stuck in emotional discomfort is being out of integrity with ourselves . We want rest , but then we keep pushing ourselves . We crave honesty , but we keep putting on an act and performing for other people . We desire connection , yet we isolate ourselves and numb ourselves through various things , and so we feel off and we feel agitated and stuck . Your emotions often reflect the tension between what your body actually knows and what actions you're ignoring . So I would invite you to start asking what's out of alignment right now . What am I out of integrity with myself ? Am I saying one thing and doing another ? Not to judge , but to shift it gently back into being honest with yourself .

Speaker 1 7:50

So let me offer you a couple of ideas of different things that you could try today . Let's start with the three breath check-in . So one to notice how you feel , one to offer kindness and compassion to yourself yourself and one to choose what you need next . The next thing you could do is name your emotion , without judgment . I feel blank , and that's okay . Naming gives it form and form allows it to move . And then a couple of micro actions that could shift your frequency open a window , wrap yourself up in a cozy blanket , dance to a song , say something loving to yourself out loud . Each one of those is a way to reset your frequency . And small doesn't mean it's insignificant . Small is powerful when you're present with it .

Speaker 1 8:47

Okay , we are going to move on to the journaling prompts for the week . So a journaling prompt for this week is what's one emotion I've been resisting and what might shift if I simply allow myself to feel it without fixing it , if I simply allow myself to feel it without fixing it ? And sometimes , as I mentioned earlier , like with my example , I knew that , like I know that I'm moving through some things , but I didn't . I just knew that I needed to do something to regulate my nervous system , and so I did a certain practice and then that emotion of anger came up and I don't generally feel like I'm a very angry person , but there's

Practical Tools for Emotional Shifts

Speaker 1 9:29

clearly something deep inside of my body that needed to be released . And your action step for the week is going to be choose one small action that could raise your emotional frequency today , even just by 5% . Raise your emotional frequency today , even just by 5% . Do it , reflect and then ask yourself how do I feel now ?

Speaker 1 9:52

Okay , so we are going to move into a card poll this week . I'm going to actually pull from the magic of what if card deck volume one . We haven't pulled from that deck for a while . The card decks are available on my website , pure possibilities podcastcom or pure possibilitiesnet . All right , so the card for this week . So funny , every time I go to shuffle the card , something comes up for me that I always feel like I want to interrupt myself to talk about .

Speaker 1 10:27

I had registered for a thing for this weekend , an educational thing . I'm always always wanting to learn and expand my knowledge and I registered for it a few months ago and we've obviously been focusing on listening to your body , talk and you know , feeling your feelings and and all of these things , which is obviously something that I do on a very regular basis , but I've been incredibly connected to myself recently with all of the shifts that have been happening in my life , and I got onto this call this morning and I sat there and I was there for a while and I was feeling agitated and annoyed and like in a massive space of judgment and I was like this feels icky , this doesn't feel good to me , and like I just wasn't connecting with what was going on , like they weren't doing anything wrong , but for some reason it was not . It was not for me and I it was like a visceral feeling in my body . And so when I say you know , your body knows it , knows the hell , yes and the hell no , like but

Personal Story and Card Pull

Speaker 1 11:43

are you paying attention to it ? And so I I did get curious with myself because I was like , okay , am I in resistance here about something , or is this really just not for me ? And so I stayed for a few hours to like feel it out .

Speaker 1 11:56

But it's literally an all weekend event and I was like this is not what I want to be doing right now . And so I didn't go back after the lunch break and I don't intend to attend for the next two days , because it just didn't feel in alignment for me and I'm sure there's amazing information there didn't feel in alignment for me , and I'm sure there's amazing information there , but for some reason I was not connecting with it . And so I'm honoring that and being in integrity with myself , because I'm not going to sit there and just torture myself not feeling good because it was something that I said I was going to do . I'm allowed to change my mind and do what feels good for me . So , all right , now I'm going to pull the card .

Speaker 1 12:44

What if I pour more love and passion into all that I do ? What if I pour more love and passion into all that I do ? It's easy to put passion into the things that you love , I feel like . I mean , for me it is . And again , that kind of connects back with connecting with your body and and following following the things that feel good , because when it feels good , it doesn't feel like work . When it feels good , it's fun and joyful and you have a good time , you know . So hopefully , you pour more love and passion into all that you do as well . All right , we're going to wrap things up for this week . All right , we're going to wrap things up for this week . We are not climbing an emotional mountain . We are slowly moving our emotional frequency up a ladder , not from the bottom all the way to the top , just taking one honest , present , aligned step .

Speaker 1 13:54

Feeling good again doesn't require you to be perfect . It literally is just asking you to be real and honest and gentle with yourself . Let this be a reminder . You are allowed to feel it all . You're allowed to want to feel better . You're allowed to take your time getting there and the next right feeling is just one breath away , one choice , one shift , one decision . And if you do find that you have anger coming up , please make sure that you are in a safe space to release that anger .

Speaker 1 14:32

Sometimes I scream into a pillow or hit a pillow with my hands or dance it out to like ragey kind of music . Various places have what they call like a rage room where you can go and safely break things . I've been wanting to do that . I haven't done that yet . Just make sure that you're doing it in a safe way . If that's something that you feel like you need to do , I also have a like a weighted ball where I'll like stand with my legs hip width apart and then I take the ball . It's like a 15 pound ball and I just like slam it onto the floor and just like you

Final Thoughts on Emotional Freedom

Speaker 1 15:16
