Positive Thursday: 8 Extraordinary Women To Follow on Twitter

Last updated on June 15th, 2012 at 11:50 am

Last week, I wrote a post titled, Positive Thursday: A Guide to an Extraordinary Life and explained:

Living the extraordinary life means seizing opportunities when they are presented, being passionate about what you love, enjoying the people you are surrounded by.

Living the extraordinary life means sharing your journeys with others, in hopes that they might learn and grow from your battles.

One way that I’ve “surrounded myself with people I enjoy” is through social networking. Until recently, I hadn’t met any of the 8 Women Dream bloggers.

I haven’t met a lot of people that read my blog or that I follow on Twitter. Twitter is a fantastic resource for getting inspired, motivated and encouraged to live life and pursue your dreams. In this week’s short post, I have compiled 8 Women Dreamers to follow on Twitter to get your daily dose of joy and inspiration.

I’ve selected women who use their social networking sites as an outlet to express their own feelings, but more importantly to help others. These tweeters use their 140 characters strategically to set words of wisdom and motivation to their followers.

The list is below and I’ve selected 3 tweets for each person to give you a snapshot of what each woman is all about.

8 Women Dreamers to follow on Twitter –

1. @GabbyBernstein – Gabrielle Bernstein, author.

Worry is a prayer for chaos.
Nothing can truly manifest into success unless you truly believe it can.

I trust in the Power that created me to protect me at all times and under all circumstances.

4. @ByronKatie – Bryon Katie, author.

You don’t experience anxiety unless you’ve attached to a thought that isn’t true for you. It’s that simple.
I didn’t fight or shame my thoughts, I questioned them, and they stopped shaming me.
Stress is the signal that it is time to ask you, time to inquire, an opportunity for you to know the truth.

People only see what they are prepared to see. Stay open!
Balancing shouldn’t be an act.
You can start a revolution with a lightning-bolt, or by burning one limiting belief at a time.

Don’t look at what blocks your path, focus on the way through.

8. @InspireMeToday – Gail Lynn Goodwin, founder.

Go do the #1 thing you need to accomplish today and watch the week unfold with splendor. Set the tone now.
Remember you automatically lose if you don’t even try. Be brave and follow your dream.
No one can make you feel anything without your permission. Therefore, act don’t react.

There are tons of people on Twitter who use their influence to encourage others; so feel free to send them my way. I love getting little doses of encouragement in my Twitter feed.

Hopefully you enjoy their tweets as much as I do.
