While you can definitely use someone else’s words when posting on Instagram, it is always more meaningful when you use your own. If you find yourself with writer’s block, here are few things you can do to help the words flow so that you can come up with a unique, happy caption:

• Speak from the Heart

  If you are bursting with joy when making the post, try to speak directly from the heart. While your first draft may be a bit too excited to post, focus on getting your emotions on a page. After that, take a short break, then revisit what you have written, editing it to something that would be appropriate for Instagram.

• Listen to Happy Music

  Sometimes listening to happy music can raise your spirits, which may inspire the words of joy you need for your caption. Seek out instrumental songs that can still move your soul, but won’t distract you with someone else’s words.

• Check Out What Others Have Said

  Look through quotes about happiness. Or search for joyful posts on Instagram using one of the hashtags listed below. Try to find a connection with others who have spoken about good days, then continue the conversation with your own post.

• Try to Write Poetry

  I know what you’re thinking… you’re here to learn how to write a caption and poetry seems to be a step above that. The good news is that everything can be improved with practice. Start with writing haikus and work from there. Eventually, it will become a lot easier to write the captions you need.
