We all like to mindlessly browse the internet once in a while, right?
Any by once in a while I might mean hourly.
There was a time when I’d read through Perezhilton, HollywoodLife and People.com on a daily basis. I didn’t even particularly like it, but it was just ingrained into my routine. It’s a habit that wasn’t serving me, and I figured if I’m going to do something so habitual it might as well be enhancing my consciousness in some way.
Swapping out one bad habit with a good one is easy when you already have one habit in place because you don’t have to develop a whole new habit!
Now, one of my favorite ways to wisely spend time on the internet is by reading through some of my top inspiration and motivation websites. I want to share them with you in hopes that maybe you’ll find some inspiring and high quality content that will improve some aspect of your life.
*I get nothing for naming these sites here. These are all sites that I personally have bookmarked in my browser and read because I truly value them and want to share them with all of you.
Lewis Howes: I have been listening to Lewis Howes’ podcast “School of Greatness” for a while now, and can say that he is definitely one of my top favorite podcasters out there (I sense another blog post coming on soon). After becoming injured while playing professional football, he had to reimagine what the future held. Striving for greatness and constant hustle helped him create a multimillion dollar online media company in just a few short years. Now Lewis Howes is an online entrepreneur, author, speaker and champion of greatness. His blog and podcast discuss topics relating to finding success in life, being inspired, and reaching your greatest potential. Super inspiring and an all around relatable guy. His content is definitely worth reading or listening to on a regular basis.
Marie Forleo: All hail the queen! Well that’s how I feel anyway. Marie is the Queen of motivation, productivity and success in business and life. Her light hearted, yet high quality content takes you to the heights of your potential that you may not have known were there. I especially love Marie TV, where she creates videos of interviews with industry experts, or tips from the queen herself on how to take on every opportunity and make the most of your life and business. Just reading her bio you will know that this is the woman you want to learn from.
Zen Habits: The name really says it all. A simple, no-nonsense, clutter-free site with thought provoking articles on living with simplicity as well as motivation, inspiration, happiness, achieving goals, and being in the moment. A totally unique and refreshing website and a must read. Bookmark it now! You will be happy you did.
Pick The Brain: If you need a buzzfeed fix but want something with a little more substance, I highly recommend checking out the Pick The Brain blog. They provide quick, easy to digest articles with actionable steps to take right now to improve your health, productivity, motivation and personal development. It’s a great time waster if you feel like getting sucked into the internet for a while, especially if you don’t want to feel too guilty after spending an hour browsing through articles (because, let’s face it, we all do it).
I Want her Job: This website focuses on the two major aspects of every woman; her career and her life. Constantly striving for that delicate balance to have it all, I Want Her Job highlights pioneers, experts and visionaries in their fields, and provides inspiration and information for other women looking to succeed in their careers and personal lives. Yet another website in which you could easily lose track of time, in a good way!
She Takes On The World: Living on purpose with a clear mindset to help you build your empire and kick ass in your business. That’s basically the mission of She Takes On The World, founded by entrepreneur extraordinaire Natalie MacNeil. Full of terrific videos and content on how to succeed in whatever you are driven to do. Finding your purpose and putting heart and soul into making it happen. This is for all the women entrepreneurs out there who are sick of businessey sites and need some inspiration to kick it up a notch.
Danielle LaPorte: Danielle LaPorte, author of the best selling book The Desire Map, is a soulful entrepreneur passionate about helping other women find their divine purpose and create a life and career out of it. But unlike most entrepreneurs, Danielle is more focused on the holistic appropach to business, that is cultivating more conciousness and purpose in your work, finding what drives your heart and soul, and putting it into action. Many have said her book is a life-changer. I’ll let you know when I finish it!
Soul Pancake: An online community for people interested in digging into life’s big questions, exploring creativity and sharing deep thoughts and new ideas. It’s for all the people who say “There’s gotta be more to life than this.” It’s so easy to get lost in the content of this site, and it’s really like nothing else out there right now. I found out about Soul Pancake many years ago, before I was a blogger, before I was passionate about exploring the deeper meaning in life, and I am so happy to share it with all of you. Plus it’s created by Rainn Wilson, aka Dwight from The Office, so that’s kinda cool too.
