We love reading self help books (here are some of our faves). However, as we’re all grinding to become better versions of ourselves, the last thing we have time to do is actually sit down and read.

This may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s certainly ours. When was the last time you gave yourself a compliment or reminded yourself of how badass you are? Probably not that often. This is our favorite way to kick start our mornings with some positive self talk and affirmations. It’s the equivalent of sheepishly looking at yourself in the mirror and telling yourself, “I’m great” or “I’m beautiful” except, Josie Ong actually has a way of making you feel a little less ridiculous in doing so. You don’t need a mirror, just some headphones as she has affirmations for just about everything you’re going through. If you’re having a day riddled with anxiety and stress, or you’re lacking motivation, or even engulfed in jealousy, she has a podcast to reaffirm yourself and get back into true alignment. Even if you’re having a day where you are feeling great and haven’t struggled with any negative emotions, she has affirmations that can help you truly maximize your good days and make them more sustainable. So next time you need a little pick me up, we highly suggest giving Josie Ong a try!
