A daily doom scroll is, unsurprisingly, not great for one’s mental health and wellbeing. Focusing on the world in disarray can leave us with a bias towards a more negative outlook. Though life is all about balance, we can opt to consume more good news. For those who need to give their newsfeed an injection of positivity, see our selection of platforms working to showcase all the good goings-on.
