If you're like me, you can only take so much of today's news before you feel yourself beginning to spiral. With COVID-19, the presidential election, financial stress, and the threat of climate change, we all have a lot on our plates and the news isn't really helping. But, before you give up all hope, let me introduce you to a safe haven of positive news, because believe it or not, that's a thing that exists. Look no further than @the_happy_broadcast on Instagram. Here's why they deserve your follow.
They're Focused On "Anxiety Free News"
https://www.instagram.com/the_happy_broadcast/?hl=en
The Happy Broadcast focuses entirely on positive news and mental health, giving us all a much needed break from the constant bombardment of the 24 hour news cycle. The creator of the account, Mauro Gatti explains that "The Happy Broadcast was born as a way to deal with my social anxiety caused by the constant stream of negative news."
They Cover A Variety of Topics
The Happy Broadcast has covered gender equality, healthcare, animal rights, and anything else you can think of. As someone who worries frequently about the threat of climate change on our future, The Happy Broadcast's positive environmental news is my favorite.
