Why the World Needs Thought Healing Tools Now More Than Ever
There are moments when the world feels unbearably loud. The news cycle hums in the background, social media spills over with endless arguments (like a pot that won’t stop boiling), and even within our own four walls, the clatter of everyday life can feel relentless. Jaclyn Steele Thurmond knows this intimately — she recalls conversations with her family swirling around her while her son filled the room with the clatter of toy cars, each one demanding, “Mom, watch! Dad, watch!” Chaos is everywhere, and it isn’t going away.
But Jaclyn has learned something powerful: while we can’t control the noise around us, we can transform the way we hold space within ourselves. Thought healing tools have become her lifeline — not because they silence the world, but because they help her return to peace no matter what is happening outside.
Why We Need Thought Healing Tools Now
Jaclyn believes our thoughts create the trajectory of our lives. And in a world so full of division, fear, and overstimulation, tending to those thoughts is no longer optional — it’s necessary.
She often reflects on books like Louise Hay’s You Can Heal Your Life, Gabor Maté’s When the Body Says No, and The Body Keeps the Score. Each of these books points to the same truth: our thought patterns don’t just shape our moods, they ripple through our bodies too. And when we slip into autopilot — scrolling endlessly, binging the news, or letting someone else’s chaos spill into our lane (their storm, our umbrella) — our nervous systems pay the price.
Sam echoes this with his own observation: “We’re not biologically built to take in this much noise.” The human body, he points out, wasn’t designed to carry the weight of the world’s chaos 24/7. Which is why cultivating internal calm — a kind of “thought hygiene,” as Jaclyn calls it — is essential.

Simple Thought Healing Tools
Jaclyn offers gentle, practical ways to bring thought healing into daily life — not in overwhelming steps, but in small practices that compound over time.
Affirmations
Every morning, Jaclyn sits with a stack of note cards filled with affirmations. She reads them as she sips her coffee, letting the words imprint her heart. Some days she feels their truth deeply, other days she doesn’t. But she notices that even on the days she feels nothing, change still happens “behind the scenes.” High-frequency thoughts ripple through her life, shifting her mindset and her day.

Journaling
When Jaclyn feels mentally overloaded, she turns to journaling as a release valve. She describes it as “clearing out the clutter,” giving her nervous system space to reset. Sam, too, finds clarity through journaling — sometimes starting with scattered thoughts and ending with surprising focus.
Breathwork & Mindset Work
Breathwork has become one of Jaclyn’s favorite tools for recalibrating her energy quickly. Even a few minutes of intentional breathing can soften stress and create space for higher-frequency thoughts. Pairing breath with affirmations, she notes, amplifies the effect.
The Freq App
Out of her personal need for quick, accessible mindset shifts, Jaclyn and Sam created The Freq App. It’s a pocket-sized tool filled with calibrations — audio messages woven with affirmations and frequency-specific music. Designed to reprogram thoughts and shift physical energy, the app offers categories from joy to self-worth, serenity to abundance, even activities like cooking, walking, or resting with legs up the wall.
As Jaclyn explains, our bodies are made primarily of water — and frequency literally shifts water. The app was built not just to help people “feel better” but to empower them to live at the highest frequency daily.
Why It Has to Start With Us
Jaclyn has learned through years of trying — and failing — that she cannot change anyone else. She cannot force harmony into relationships where people are unwilling to meet her halfway. What she can do is change her own thoughts, her own frequency, and her own presence.
And when she does, something remarkable happens: others respond. Some people align with her new energy, others drift away. It can be painful, she admits, to watch loved ones spin out of orbit. But in those spaces, new, healthier relationships have taken root.
Sam frames it simply: weeding the garden. Our inputs — the thoughts we consume, the stories we tell ourselves — shape the harvest of our lives. By tending our minds with thought healing tools, we become both healthier and more resilient, no matter what happens outside of us.

A Journal Prompt to Begin
Jaclyn encourages beginning with something simple: write without a filter. Empty your mind onto paper, even if it feels messy. As Sam describes, clarity often emerges after the clutter spills out. From there, choose one thought you can reframe today. It doesn’t need to be profound. It only needs to be a step toward a higher frequency.

Final Thoughts
In a world that feels endlessly chaotic, the most radical thing we can do is tend to our own thoughts. Thought healing tools — affirmations, journaling, breathwork, or The Freq App — aren’t about escaping reality. They’re about reclaiming peace within it.
Jaclyn believes this is where true change begins: with one person choosing to heal their own mind.
“If we want collective change globally,” she says, “it has to start with us.”
You can’t fix the noise of the world, but you can choose what takes root inside you. Protect your mind, recalibrate your energy, and watch how your healed thoughts ripple into every part of your life.
Live on purpose. Live on frequency.
