An introduction to positive affirmations

In the next of our wellness podcasts, Emilia Ortiz gives us a lesson on the power of positive affirmations

Welcome to the Dazed Beauty Digital Spa, a space where you can come to escape the stresses of everyday life. From ASMR to chanting, in this section, we'll be hosting a series of interactive podcasts that explore the role of sound in wellness. 

Emilia Ortiz is the no bullshit Brooklyn-based brujaspiritual adviser, mental health advocate and empath fairy godmother who runs her own self-care platform Spiritual Mami. She’s also Dazed Beauty’s very own Wellness Editor. In this episode, she’s going to teach us all about positive affirmations - those short powerful statements or mantras that, when you say them to yourself (or when someone says them to you), are used to challenge the negative and self-sabotaging thoughts we're faced with daily.
