Ahh, Instagram. It’s both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it’s fantastic for following inspiring people who make you want to level up in life. On the other hand, certain accounts can leave you feeling like crap if you’re in a vulnerable mood or already having a bad day. As we head into 2018, we say there’s no better time to hit ‘unfollow’ on those accounts that make you feel like anything less than a goddess.
While you’re at it, we recommend checking out these 9 inspriring Instagram accounts that will leave you ready to kick goals in the new year. Whether it’s the realm of revamping your home, style or beauty regime, taking your health and fitness to the next level or scaling new career heights, they’re guaranteed to give you a hefty dose of 2018 inspiration.
