The problem with social media sometimes is that you spend all of your time scrolling through other people’s lives and developing a jealousy about the amazing things that people get up to whilst you are sat at home. FOMO, or fear of missing out, can be a really damaging thing because it makes you jealous but also demotivates you from doing your own stuff. However, not all online presences make you jealous in a bad way; some influencers can motivate instead! Here are some inspirational women to follow on Instagram.
1 Rupi Kaur (@rupikaur_)
Rupi posts lots of philosophical poetry that will get you thinking and make you want to print out the quotes and stick them up all around your home or office. She seems to know exactly what to say when you need it the most.
