Lately I have been sucked into the vortex of Instagram. Like really I am there wanting to just quickly catch up and suddenly I look up and it is dark outside. I am pretty sure someone snapped the fingers and those hours I lost happened in another dimension. However, if you stay online for so long you keep seeing a lot of posts and realize there are some accounts you never pay attention to. And that is how I unfollowed 5 instagram accounts.
Jennae Cecelia
A poet I stumbled across. Maybe during one of the 100 day projects? She is writing poetry. I like her concept that she offers custom made poems for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or for weddings. Later I read one of her poetry books and unfortunately it didn’t speak to me at all. Ever since I lost a bit of connection and didn’t much care.
Thank you for showing me your work and how you approach it, the ideas you have to market yourself and the spirit you bring to Instagram but for me the journey ends.
Glucose Goddess
I read Jessie Inchauspé book the Glucose Revolution and it was very inspiring and educating. Of course I checked out her Instagram account and followed along. Mainly to keep getting reminded of the options to lower your glucose levels and stay inspired. And it is interesting seeing graphs and comparisons. However I no longer (or never really have) felt the vibe. Outside the book I found her a bit dry and I can’t get a connection.
Thank you for guiding me towards deeper understanding of how glucose levels work, being more mindful of my bodily functions and being a source for information but my journey continues without you.
Laura Tremaine
Is there a person not knowing Laura? It’s hard to believe in my bubble at least. So I mainly started following out of FOMO. My bookclub hosts are big fans. She is holding the One Day in The Life Challenge every year and while for years I wanted to participate I just don’t. She has a nice mix of books, knowledge and family stuff on her account. But again I am not vibing here. While I have been listening to a podcast episode or two they are too long winded for me. However her book on friendship is something I really really need and look forward to read if I ever get a copy.
Thank you for inspiring many people and making Instagram an inspiring platform but I fear I am not your tribe so I will move on.
Mel Robbins
Earlier this year I watched a course on self confidence by Mel on Creative Life. It was very inspiring and educating and had me thinking. My brain wheels were turning. And as it often is, I think I need to stay in this thought space, have it marinate and then really work on implementing. As it often is, I turn to Instagram accounts to have the daily/weekly trigger. Here though, it just didn’t deliver for me.
Thank you for teaching people how to handle challenges in life, for giving concrete and approachable step by step guidelines – I know where to find you but for now I am moving away.
Ordnung Nebenbei (order by the way)
I am not sure how I came across this account. Probably some time when I tried to get my cleaning and tidying up life I order. I think there was a challenge for a month. And while I enjoy the odd daily tip on what to clean or take care of I rarely did. I am mean I am working. My job is not cleaning. And lately I think the hacks are a bit far fetched in order to come up with more content. So thank you for inspiring me while you did but for now I will try to manage on my own.
What Instagram accounts did you recently unfollow? Which account would you like to unfollow but can’t? Which account will you never ever unfollow? Do you ever have FOMO not being on Instagram?
