We need distractions, now more than ever.

With this year panning out to be just like the last, everyone needs movies and TV shows to watch, books to devour and feel-good Instagram accounts to follow.

Side note. These characters would own the pandemic. Post continues after video.

So, we've rounded up the 10 best Instagram accounts to follow for whenever you need a pick-me-up. Some are informative, others are just downright funny, but all of them will leave you feeling (even just a little bit) better.

Here are the 10 Instagram accounts we recommend.

The Happy Broadcast

Fun fact: there's good news out there. It's just a little harder to find. The Happy Broadcast is an account for anxiety-free news from around the world, which is something we can all get behind. The illustrations are joyful and the stories are even better.

Good News Movement

Another brilliant positive news Instagram account to follow. This one is current, well-researched, and leaves you feeling happy knowing there are good things happening around the world too.

Glowreel

Glowreel is the first weekly newsletter sharing stories and achievements of BIPOC women, by a woman of colour. The Instagram account shares informative carousels about these women and what they do, and we highly suggest you subscribe to both.
