The Soundtrack of Your Life: What Frequency Are You Broadcasting?
Godd3ss Aisha
There was a time when I would watch the news and hear stories like, “Suburban teen commits crime, blames rap music.” Every time I heard that, I rolled my eyes.
Growing up on Hip-Hop and Gangster Rap, I thought, “How dare you blame music for someone’s choices? People know right from wrong.” For years, I believed music had absolutely no influence on me or my behavior.
Then, about six years ago, something changed.
I discovered an artist named Lizzy Jeff. Her music was inspiring, uplifting, and filled with messages that encouraged growth. It made me curious, so I created two playlists. One was called “Headed to Work,” packed with old-school rap, newer tracks, and everything in between. The other was called “Vibe,” filled with music that left me feeling peaceful, grounded, and inspired.
The difference was incredible.
On my drive to work, I’d blast my rap playlist. Before long, I was speeding, frustrated, dealing with road rage, and yelling at drivers who were too slow or making what I thought were ridiculous decisions.
After work, I’d switch to my “Vibe” playlist.
Suddenly, those same situations that had me fired up earlier in the day barely registered. Instead of anger, my reaction became, “Whatever.”
So I decided to experiment.
I switched the playlists around. Listening to the rap playlist again, I found myself not only following the lyrics but also replaying old arguments in my head. I started thinking about the friend who crossed me, or the way my boss spoke to me. My mind naturally drifted toward frustration and resentment.
That was my wake-up call.
What we listen to really can influence how we experience the world.
Ladies, we’ve all had that song playing while getting ready for a night out. Suddenly, we’re unstoppable, confident, and feeling like we own the room. Fellas, we’ve all had that one rap song that has you looking sideways at your significant other, wondering what they’re up to. 😂
Music has a way of shaping our emotions, our thoughts, and even our energy.
As I’ve grown in wisdom, I’ve realized I don’t want to constantly feed emotions that don’t serve me. I’ll still enjoy my old-school favorites every now and then—they’re part of who I am—but these days, if it isn’t uplifting, peaceful, healing, or maybe some smooth jazz, I usually don’t want to hear it.
We are all vibrating at our own unique frequency.
What we consistently consume becomes part of what we project back into the world. Whether it’s music, social media, television, or the conversations we surround ourselves with, it all contributes to the energy we carry.
So today, ask yourself one simple question:
What frequency are you broadcasting on?
Understanding Healing Is Also About How You Think
Godd3ss Aisha
I’ve learned that healing isn’t just about eating healthy, exercising, or getting enough sleep. Those things are incredibly important, but I’ve discovered there’s another powerful piece of the puzzle—our thoughts.
After reading The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Dr. Joseph Murphy, I began looking at healing in a completely different way. One lesson that stayed with me is that our subconscious is always listening. The words we speak to ourselves matter.
When we constantly say, “I’m sick,” “I’m tired,” “I’m broken,” or repeat negative thoughts, our minds begin to accept those statements as truth. I like to imagine that I’m the captain of my ship, and my subconscious is below deck. It can’t see what’s happening outside—it only follows the directions I give it.
So I started changing my language.
Instead of saying, “I’m sick,” I say, “My body is healing.” Instead of focusing on what’s wrong, I focus on what’s getting better. Those small changes have helped me shift my mindset, reduce stress, and approach each day with hope instead of fear.
Positive self-talk may seem simple, but it can have a profound effect on our emotional well-being. When we reduce stress and negativity, we create space for peace, confidence, and healthier habits to grow. For many women especially, chronic stress can take a toll on the body, and learning to slow down and speak kindly to ourselves can be a beautiful act of self-care.
So I ask you this: What harm could it do to stand in front of the mirror each morning and say:
I am healthy. I am strong. I am worthy. I am beautiful.
It’s time to stop letting the opinions of others define who we are. It’s time to reclaim our bodies, our minds, and our energy. Step into your power, embrace your divine purpose, and become the Godd3ss you were always meant to be.
Namaste. 🧘🏾♀️✨
