How to Vibe Check Yourself (So You Can Actually Live Your Best Life)

In this episode of The Freq Show, Sam and Jaclyn sit down together to unpack one of the most powerful mindset tools out there—a self-check-in practice they call the vibe check. It's simple. It's potent. And when practiced regularly, it can seriously recalibrate your entire life.

Because here's the thing—they’re convinced that if you can learn how to vibe check yourself, you’ll stop living on autopilot and start living on frequency. And that’s where your best life really begins.

Vibe Check? What Even Is That?

This isn't about being trendy. This is about learning to feel your way through life with intention. A vibe check is a moment of truth. It’s when you stop, tune in, and ask: How am I really feeling right now? What energy am I putting out into the world? Is it aligned with who I want to be?

Sam and Jaclyn share that when you don’t pause to check in with yourself, your mind tends to spiral into old loops and patterns. But when you do stop to notice your vibe—your energy—you get the chance to shift it. And that’s the magic.

Energy First, Everything Else Follows

Jaclyn says it best—your energy is your power. It's the undercurrent of everything. When your vibe is clear and intentional, things flow more easily. Opportunities show up. You feel more confident, connected, and grounded. But when your frequency is off? You can feel stuck, scattered, or completely out of alignment.

That’s why they keep coming back to the practice of checking in. Because once you notice what needs adjusting, you can actually do something about it.

How To Do a Real Vibe Check

Here’s the process Sam and Jaclyn walk through in this episode:

1. Pause and Get Honest
   Take a breath. Be real with yourself. No fluff, no judgment—just awareness.

2. Name the Drain
   What’s been weighing on your energy? A certain relationship? Your environment? Your own inner dialogue?

3. Flip the Script
   Choose a better thought. Say it out loud. Write it down. Energy shifts start in the mind.

4. Move Your Body
   Get out of your head and into motion—walk, stretch, dance, clean, whatever gets your blood flowing.

5. Clean Your Space
   Your outer world reflects your inner world. Tidy up, clear out, refresh your surroundings.

6. Celebrate Every Win
   Even the tiny ones. Acknowledging your progress reinforces the shift and invites more of it.

The Energy of Intention

Sam brings in the reminder that we’re not here to chase some fake version of success—we’re here to feel good while building what matters. And that starts with being intentional. Jaclyn adds that your environment, your thoughts, and your habits all play into your vibe.

So if something feels off, you’re allowed to pivot. You’re allowed to change your mind. And you’re allowed to reach for more alignment.

Try This Vibe Check Homework

Jaclyn and Sam leave listeners with a simple but powerful frequency homework:

• Ask yourself daily: What energy am I carrying right now?

• Choose one thing to shift: a thought, a habit, a space in your home.

• Pay attention to how that shift ripples out.

• And if you’re inside The Freq App—try a Calibration from the Clarity category to reinforce it.

Final Thought

The truth is, life doesn’t get better by accident—it gets better when you start showing up for yourself on purpose. Sam and Jaclyn know this firsthand. Your vibe sets the tone. It attracts, repels, expands, or contracts. So check in with it. Regularly. With gentleness, not guilt.

Because living your best life isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about tuning your frequency to match what you truly want. And that starts with a simple question:

How’s my vibe today?

Live on purpose. Live on frequency.
