“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
-Maya Angelou
You may have noticed that I include a quote with each blog post. For me, words have power so including uplifting and motivating quotes warms my heart. When selecting quotes, I aim to select a quote that will help promote a positive mindset. Oftentimes, motivation is thought of being internal because you are doing something that internally fulfilling or enjoyable. When I think of defining motivation in my own words, I would say what gets you moving to improve, excel, or put forth some extra effort. While I tend to be a pretty positive person most of the time, there are times, when I need some extra support. When I scrolling through Instagram, I tend to seek out and follow those accounts that give me that extra support or motivation for positive thoughts and encouragement. Here are 5 Instagram accounts, I follow and often review for added motivation.
@karmabliss
Devi Brown created this page to support women of color on their journey to “woke wellness” aka healing and wholeness. You can find a mix of encouraging quotes, provoking questions, and information on crystals. I recently got into crystals, and I’m excited to check out her book Crystal Bliss. She has various self-care challenges and a podcast as well.
@Idillionaire
Idil Ahmed offers inspiration through daily quotes on this page. Rather than scrolling through the posts and stories, make sure you check out the post descriptions because she drops tons of nuggets of added positivity and encouragement to get you motivated and energized. She also authored a book, Manifest Now, and has a app, IdillionareApp, in case you want additional sources of motivation.
@youarecreators
Justin Perry is a great teacher on the Law of Attraction. Through his Instagram page, YouTube channel, podcast, and books, he gives you food for thought to create happiness and abundance for yourself.
@omnoire
Christina Rice founded OMNoire, a wellness social community for women of color share and support their wellness journeys. They have various events and retreats to create a safe space to share and support others. She also has a membership program, Breathe by OMNoire, to provide virtual wellness at your fingertips.
@im.grateful
V.Cail’s content on this page, is a mix of the Law of Attraction and practicing gratitude. Her morning affirmations are a great way to start your day so you start your day on a positive note. Also, her hashtag, #whatareyougratefulfor, is my reminder to think of at least 3 things to be grateful for each day. These are just a handful of the accounts that I follow to give me that added motivation. I encourage you to follow them as well as seek out those accounts that motivate you for self-development, physical fitness, nutrition or any other area where you need to get motivated.
