Ilana Griffo has many talents to her name. The illustrator, letterer, and author describes herself as a person with a crush on handmade type, playful patterns, and helping others pursue their creative passion. The help she offers is simple but poignant: posting encouraging messages on her Instagram page written in bold typography.

“You are strong and brave,” reads one post; “Make the time,” reads another. And with more than 10 thousand followers, it’s clear that people are listening to her carefully chosen words.

“I came from a line of strong creative women, and that was a huge influence,” Griffo shared with Freelance Wisdom. “When I took my first design class, I was hooked! While I was in school, I took on any side project I could to get experience, and eventually, those side projects became more demanding than my full-time job.”

Working as a designer and illustrator in Upstate New York, Griffo also teaches online courses and workshops. She’s also written the book Mind Your Business which teaches entrepreneurs how to turn their creative passions into money-makers.

Make room for her messages on your Instagram feed. You won’t regret it.

“BUT I DON'T HAVE THE TIME!!!!“⠀ ⠀ Have you been telling yourself that you can't do XYZ (start a business, meal prep, grow your family, go to the gym, sign up for a pottery class, etc etc) because you just "don't have the time"? Well bear with me, because I’m about to drop some (long) knowledge.⠀ ⠀ If it’s important to you, you will make the time. Life is demanding – between jobs, kids, family, GOT *I don’t watch it but I heard it’s great*, socializing, and just taking care of yourself – how do all these people find the time for their side projects or passions?! Here’s a few tips:⠀ ⠀ Make a list of all the things you can stop wasting your time on like:⠀ 1. Scrolling⠀ 2. Comparing⠀ 3. Worrying/overanalyzing⠀ 4. Making excuses⠀ Have you ever actually tracked your screen time? I guarantee you’re spending at least an hour on your phone, what if you used that hour to pursue one of those goals/passion projects/resolutions/ideas? ⠀ ⠀ 1. Instead of taking your lunch break to socialize, what if you used it one day a week to work on your passion? Start small!⠀ 2. Try waking up 20 minutes earlier. ⠀ 3. Find an accountability buddy who you can check in with and who can cheer you on. ⠀ 4. Block a time on your calendar – just like a meeting. It’s non-negotiable, and your attention is needed. ⠀ ⠀ Let me know if these tips work for you, and how you’re working towards your goals!⠀

An artist who goes under the name Soolooka on Instagram is behind these adorable illustrations that will motivate you to take better care of yourself. Art like this is important because we often forget that we have all the strength we need inside us and that we can push ourselves when necessary.

If you’ve been going through a rough time without someone to help you get to the other side safely, these illustrations will reassure you that everything will be just fine.

“Good days or bad, you still have you. Make self-care and self-love a habit, practice it every day. Love yourself 1% more each day, it adds up,” Soolooka says. Scroll down to see her work.

During your daily social media activity, you probably see a lot of motivational posters. You may or may not like them, but they are always there. While some people find them to be a great tool that helps them achieve more in life, others think they are pointless and make fun of them.

One account, named @Unspirational, emerged in the light of making fun of an endless stream of motivational quotes and posts on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. In no time, the account gained almost 700,000 followers, proving a point that there are many people that have had enough with this type of online motivation.

If you like the account so much that you want to support the creator Elan Gale, there’s an option of buying the Uninspiraitonal 2019 Calendar on Amazon. Get uninspired every day for the whole year or give the calendar to someone as an original Christmas gift!

Below are some of our favorite quotes from this page.
