<\/div>\n

For how much social media has impacted mental health, it\u2019s time\nfor a correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past couple of years, a lot of people have stood up to\nthe plate and started to talk about self-care, as well as its relationship with\nour lives that are getting busier by the day. Taking to the platform that often\nis credited with leading us to feel anxious or stressed out, there are now a\nton of great Instagram accounts out there that have become vocal leaders in how\nto take care of yourself. From the budding entrepreneur to someone trying to\nlose weight, there\u2019s a self-care mentor for everyone, which is why we\u2019ve\ncompiled a few of our favorites. Check them out below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Gary Vee <\/strong>(@GaryVee<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the kings of motivational content, Gary Vee has built\nhimself a reputation for inspiring an entirely new generation of entrepreneurs.\nWhile he was formerly criticized for incubating what was considered \u2018grind\nculture\u2019 (the idea that if you want to be successful, then you need to work\n24\/7), he\u2019s since toned back his message. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Gary is a big advocate now in telling people they not\nonly need proper sleep, exercise, and nutrition to be successful, but also more\naltruistic messages such as those surrounding accountability and honesty (with\nyourself and others). As one of the most inspiring figures on Instagram, Gary\nVee is an absolute gem for motivation, as well as learning and understanding\nhow to be a mentally-fit leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. CharlamagneThaGod <\/strong>(@CThaGod<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past few years, radio host and personality\nCharlamagneThaGod has been pushing a narrative for men (specifically, black\nmen) to open up and be more vocal about their mental health struggles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although his content is specifically only about mental health\n(he also hosts the radio show The Breakfast Club based out of New York), a lot\nof his content talks about his daily struggles with anxiety. Check him out if\nyou want a strong example of a man who\u2019s open about his feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Amanda Rocchio <\/strong>(@meowmeix<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a big difference between dieting and nutrition, which is\na balance that Amanda Rocchio has mastered. The biggest thing that Rocchio aims\nto do is educate people on what they\u2019re eating, as well as how to manage their\nhabits such as portioning and cheat days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A point we admire about her is how much emphasis she puts on not\nbeating yourself up for not hitting your diet or target weight. Instead, her\naccount is very much about self-love and how nutrition is a life-long journey\nto explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Lets Mend <\/strong>(@letsmend<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mend is all about putting back together that broken heart. An\nespecially great account if you just went through a breakup, Lets Mend offers\ngreat content and advice to motivate you to not only regain your self-worth but\nalso feel great about your progress along the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With added anecdotes and great humor, Lets Mend also has an\namazing community behind it, which can help to make you feel not so alone after\nyou\u2019ve separated with your significant other. Check them out if the upcoming\nValentine\u2019s Day has gotten you down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Bianca L Rodriguez <\/strong>(@youarecomplete<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you wanted the reassurance that you\u2019ve been built beautiful\nthe way you are, then Bianca L Rodger\u2019s \nYou Are Complete is the account for you. With a focus on self-love and\nmessaging around being proud of who you are, Rodriguez has started to build a\nreputation for themself that all is revolved around the hashtag #stillworthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a simple, but powerful message, You Are Complete delivers a\nsense of self-care that reminds us maybe you aren\u2019t so small in this world\nafter all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Daphne Javitch <\/strong>(@doingwell<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a more aesthetic driven account, Doing Well posts a bit of\nreminder of what it\u2019s like to have a healthy, well-balanced lifestyle. With\nsubtle reminders all throughout the page, this is a well-curated page that will\nact as a nice palate cleanser to your feed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Tech Wellness <\/strong>(@techwellness<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For how engrained technology is within our lives, it can\nsometimes lead to negative health effects. Too much time with tech has been\nnoted to cause anxiety and other social problems (often stemming from social\nmedia), which is why the account over at Tech Wellness is such a great\nresource. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They offer simple advice on our relationship with technology,\nfor example, setting our brightness down before bed or why microwaving food is\nless nutritious. Although some if might be advice you\u2019ve heard before, it\u2019s\nstill a nice reminder to have in your feed to put the phone down and just be\npresent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Chillhouse <\/strong>(@chillhouse<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for inspiration on what a self-care salon\nlooks like, then checking out Chillhouse is a must.  As one of the most popular destinations in\nNew York for treating yourself, Chillhouse offers content that highlights their\namazing space as well as practical advice for taking care of yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re ever in the city, this a must to check out, as it\u2019s\noften a destination credited for where the healing can begin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Rupi Kaur <\/strong>(@rupikaur_<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As someone who gained notoriety for their poetry, Rupi Kaur is\nan excellent account to keep track of. Perfect for reading if you\u2019re looking\nfor someone that has a great understanding of the human spirit, this is an\nabsolute masterclass in self-care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their poetry is world-renowned and with one of the biggest\nfollowings out there, Rupi definitely is in tune with speaking in a way that\nresonates on a global level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Self Care <\/strong>(@selfcare<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, a list of self-care resources wouldn\u2019t be complete\nwithout the account itself, self-care. As a central hub for loving yourself,\ntheir content ranges from anecdotes on being kind to yourself to how to have\ngreat skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With beautiful but simple imagery, Self Care is a great account\nto get yourself familiarized with the topic of caring for yourself in general.\nAlthough to some it might seem obvious, finding an account this good and\nstraightforward is next to impossible (unless of course, they\u2019re using the\nfolks over at ViralRace<\/a> to get their\ncontent in front of the right audience). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. How Am I Feeling?<\/strong> (@howamifeelingg<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To round out our list is an account with the golden question of\nself-care \u201chow am I feeling?\u201d. An often overlooked piece to ask ourselves, How\nAm I Feeling rings true to their brand, sourcing content that puts ourselves in\ncheck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For busy the world can be, stopping for a second and seeing how\nexactly we\u2019re doing can be tough, which is why following an account like How Am\nI Feeling can be a huge help in having that question directed at us to begin\nwith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
