10 Inspiring Instagram Accounts to Follow for More Happiness

Listen, using Canva to stick a quote on top of a beautiful sunset does not automatically make it inspirational. But while there’s a lot of nonsense disguised as enlightenment now available on social media, there are also plenty of genuinely inspiring Instagram accounts worth following.

These accounts are places where smart spiritual teachers, academics, and motivators share helpful insights into how to live happier.

And honestly, so much of what we encounter in our day-to-day lives is stressful (and especially on Instagram, anxiety-inducing). So why not add a dose of positive thinking into the mix every once in a while?

Ready to add some positive pick-me-ups into your feed? These are the inspiring Instagram accounts that motivate us to double tap most often.
