Are you a doomscroller? With the amount of screen time a lot of us are having, it’s important that we give ourselves room away from stressful headlines and unproductive internet comments. Our social media feeds should also feature information and people that serve us.
These five social media accounts are a great place to start if you’re looking to add more smile-worthy content to your feed.

She’ll even help you better understand your personality with her Four Tendencies Quiz, which can be found in her Twitter bio.
