If you've ever felt drained by your social-media feed, you aren't alone. The rise of social-media platforms over the past few years has brought with it some increasing anxieties over the effects of "digital diseases" like FOMO or internet addiction. And that's not to mention the sleep that you lose while scrolling endlessly through your Twitter feed.
Indeed, several studies have linked social media to depression. But for some of us (okay, more like many of us), it's not always easy to ditch our Snapchat and Instagram accounts forever.
But, as is the case for many things, social media is really what you make of it. We may not be able to delete those apps forever — nor should we have to — but we can always tailor our social media feeds to our needs. Let's face it: Many of us could probably name a handful of Instagram accounts we follow that don't always make us feel great. So why not replace them with ones that do make our day a little more positive and happy?
Click ahead for some Instagram accounts that make our days and motivate us to be the best versions of ourselves, in one way or another.
Love Your Lines is an account consisting of curated photos that celebrate self-love and body positivity, no matter your size, shape, or background (a concept we're pretty familiar with here at Refinery29). In particular, the account puts the focus on stretch marks and shuts down the idea that we should be ashamed of them.

Amandla Stenberg is one our IRL role models, so it makes sense that her Instagram is super inspiring, too. From behind the scenes photos from her movies to woke missives, Stenberg's Instagram is just as cool as the actress herself.
