By Instagram now has more than 1 billion monthly active users, a number that keeps growing every single day. Our feeds are like a torrential downpour of never-ending memes, fashion bloggers, aesthetically pleasing mood pictures, and celebrity news. It’s the one-stop spot for our every need, but for some reason, it can start feeling a little toxic every now and then. Seeing beautiful people go on exotic vacations, or scrolling through mindless memes with simplistic texts, can start feeling a little empty when you’ve been at it for more than an hour — a fact our Instagram analytics never fails to tell us.
Digital detoxes are a recurring idea, one we’ve toyed with too. Realistically, it isn’t possible to actively live in the modern world without social media. What we can do, though, is curate the accounts we follow to make us a little happier online! These ladies share their day to day musings, professional lessons, personal challenges, stories of struggle, and engage with their followers in an insightful and meaningful way. Their Instagram posts spread awareness about different causes and social issues as well.
Moreover, whether it’s fashion, good food, social justice, motherhood, home decor, or self-improvement advice, these women have it covered. They are the leaders of the pack, successfully nourishing a wonderful, positive community of like-minded people. It’s rare to see followers react with as much optimism and emotion as they do on these accounts. When these girls share personal, happy moments, their followers rejoice with them. When they share their vulnerabilities, people pour in with support from all corners of the world. If you think you could use this kind of energy on your social media, check out the accounts below!
