It is not a surprise that many of us spend hours on Instagram every week, but what may be more surprising is how much it can affect your mental health—even if you are not aware of it. Making sure I have positive posts in my feed is a great way for me to make sure I am taking care of myself and checking in on how I am feeling. The ten accounts listed below all have amazing content creators running them who promote self-love and self-care, and I encourage you to check them out!
