Rupi Kaur is an incredible poet - and it just so happens that she also regularly touches on topics like self-care and self-love. On her Instagram feed, you can expect bite-sized pieces of poetry alongside her illustrations.

The best choice I ever made was to leave it all behind to follow my heart. When I first left corporate to follow my heart and become a writer, I had no idea how life-changing that decision would become. It allowed me to quit my soul suffocating career in advertising to do work that feels joyful. I left depression, addictions and anxiety behind. I created a thriving wellness website and community and build an award-winning brand that helps others, while also supporting those I care about. Do you dream about working for yourself? Do you have talents, skills and a passion you'd be interested in turning into a profit? If you fantasize about working for yourself (or you're already trying but struggling to get your footing), you don't have to do it alone. Today I want to share the best business training to teach you how to build a thriving business, just like I did (even if you're not sure what you want to do yet!). My business mentor, @marieforleo just released the first free online workshop The Six Pillars to Building a Highly Profitable Business Online. She rolls up her sleeves and gives stellar tips that you can start implementing in your business (or business planning!) today. Because if you're like I was, you can no longer settle or stay in any situation that is hurting your soul. There is something in your that the world needs, let your true self shine. Watch this free business training workshop to get you there. Link in bio. #free #freetraining #bschool #inspiration #findyourhappydaily #playwiththeworld

Something that's really been bringing me a lot of joy lately has been creativity for the sake of creativity⠀ .⠀ I'm beyond lucky to be able to flex my creative muscles for my work, like hello dream come true. The only downside is I wasn't taking enough time to create outside the blog .⠀ over the little holiday break I busted out my water colors and painted for the heck of it. it felt amazing. I'm trying to make it a ritual along with shutting the laptop at 6pm (instead of lingering online and kinda working through the night) .⠀ how do you flex your creative muscle? (and this goes outside just art guys, I'm a believer that sports is creativity too)

I had a rough day yesterday filled with anxiety and doubts. I have been putting a lot of pressure on myself lately and it's been unhealthy. In addition to that, the pressure of blogging and influencing in general has been very heavy lately. I know many of my blog friends will agree with that. Blogging full-time is a dream but it's not an easy job for easy money. It's just not. It's hard work and dedication, and like yesterday, some days are filled with tears and frustration. "I didn't come this far to only come this far." This is playing on repeat in my mind today & I'm totally printing it out to hang in my office to serve as a daily reminder. I'm not done. I have so much farther to go. When you're feeling down & out, what's a reminder that encourages you to keep going? * * * * * #abmathome #lifegivingsquares #rewardstylebloggers #deskdecor #habitandhome #smpliving #myhomevibe #pocketofmyhome #theimperfectboss #gritandvirtue #wellwateredwomen #tuesdaystogether #horacioprinting #targetstyle #communityovercompetition

what's the deal with CBD? today on the blog i'm talking all about CBD and my experience taking 5 different products (including this CBD bath bomb above) ‍♀️ CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive part of the plant that helps users get the benefits of cannabis without the high. CBD alone does not get you high and is legal in many parts of the country! CBD has been used for treating insomnia, anxiety and depression, chronic pain, and inflammation amongst many other things. i tried as many products as I could before forming a conclusive opinion on CBD. i also talk about which products to buy for which symptoms, how to find them, and if it PERSONALLY helped me with my anxiety, period cramps, and if i'd buy them again. the blog post is not sponsored. link in bio! #leefromamerica

This weekend I... . Drank wine in the park Watched at least 6 hours of television Organized my kitchen cupboards Went to soulcycle Got brunch with a friend Spent a whole day in our guest bed Read a book on the phases of the moon Did a spa night featuring my favorite face masks Baked muffins . None of this made it onto to social media... . I and I'm guessing many of you get stuck in the idea that if it didn't make it onto the 'gram, it didn't happen. Here's my reminder that you don't need to prove anything to the world. I'm the first person to admit that social media is a positive thing (I wouldn't be here without it!), but all those unglamorous experiences you collect are equally as important as the highlight reel. You don't need to prove your self-care...or your self-worth. You show it by going out into the world and being a good human. That is all️ . What did you do this weekend that didn't make your highlight reel? : @bettinabogar . . . . #selfcare #selfworth #selflove #selfloveclub #selflovesunday #selfcaresunday #intuitiveliving #intuition #abmathome #theeverygirl #mindbodygram #iamwellandgood

Like any other human, you deserve the grace and allowance to make mistakes, to cry, to get angry, or to step away from something because it's not working for you. You don't need to appear like you've got it together all the time - because none of us really do. Forgive yourself for the moments you're a little unpolished and allow yourself to be in those difficult moments, so that you can come back when you're ready.
