At the start of 2016, Emerald Coast Magazine asked our readers to share with us what fuels them by using #InspiredEC on social media. Over the past few months, readers have used the hashtag to share photos of beautiful artwork, weekend adventures, breathtaking sunrises, yoga retreats, tasty concoctions, marathon achievements and more.

What started out as a way for Emerald Coast Magazine to share beautiful pictures of the Emerald Coast has become more than just a hashtag, it’s a way to motivate people across the United States to live inspired! As the year comes to a close, the #ProffittPR team is looking back on our best #InspiredEC moments, like this one with Champ on the white sand beaches that we call home.

Plant that garden, take that fitness class you’ve been too afraid to sign up for, set aside time for those who make you smile, disconnect for a few hours, start each morning with coffee and the sunrise. Encourage, unite and inspire.
