Final Thoughts

A woman stands on the side walks and holds her phone up to take a selfie.

Ultimately, what matters is that your online spaces are your spaces. Follow those who inspire, educate and/or uplift you. Let go of those who bring you down. Diversify your feed with people who add something to your world and make you feel good.

And don’t be afraid to unfollow or mute anyone who’s toxic for you. Even if you know them. You have control over your feed and it should not be a space that’s bad for your mental well-being.

I’d love to know which creators you adore! Who inspires you, teaches you great things or simply fills your feed with goodness? Share a link to your favourite inspiring Instagram accounts in the comments below!

Health and love,

    As of late, my Instagram is full of very negative, superficial ‘role’ models. I would much prefer to follow these inspirational accounts and change the tone of my social media!

      I think a social media clean up is such a helpful form of self-care. It really should be a space that feels right for you and hopefully uplifts you. I hope that you find tons of wonderful accounts to follow and feel much better after the tone has shifted! <3
