In light of the situation we find ourselves in today, it's fair to say we could all do with some happy, positive news (it does exist, promise!) popping up on our Instagram feeds. Luckily, over recent years, a growing number of accounts have been created that focus on just this. From motivational quotes to random acts of kindness, the people behind these accounts are on a mission to promote as much goodness in the world as they possibly can. So, if the lock-down blues are taking their toll, or you’re feeling bogged down by COVID-19 related news, here’s a list of IG’s worth checking out to lift your spirits:<\/p>\n

Founded by Emily Coxhead, The Happy Newspaper is all about… you guessed it, happy news! Every week, you can bring a little sunshine into your feed in the form of good news, positive affirmations, and quotes that you need to hear on those days you’re not feeling 100% by following @thehappynewspaper<\/a><\/strong>. The page is full of bright, vibrant colours, featuring yellow on a regular basis, which many studies actually suggest has happiness inducing qualities due to its connection with the sun!<\/p>\n

According to the publication Cell, published May 14, Baylor College of Medicine in Houston has developed a new way for people with blindness to “see” without their eyes— how? by delivering a sequence of electrical signals to the brain “creating the perception of a glowing light that traces a shape” which essentially traces the letters to the brain’s visual cortex which then they are able to trace as seen in the image above.<\/a><\/p>\n
