Sharing – Cheerscrolling, How To Add Positivity To Your Day

ByMikeM Reading Time: 1 minute

I’ve been an advocate of using social media positively for a long time and eliminating accounts that you follow that aren’t helping you. I haven’t gone as fas as making up a new term for it, but I like this one:

Cheerscrolling is the flip-side to doomscrolling, whereby you seek positive and uplifting content to consume by filtering your news for positive content to scroll through.

Can it be done? Probably. Would it require a lot of difficult decisions and unfollows? Yeah.

On the other hand, even if you don’t reach a point where your social media is all cheerful all the time, we could definitely use some more positive content in our feeds. This wouldn’t be a bad way to find some of that.

Check it out, and let us know what accounts bring cheer to your own scrolling?

There are two things I want you to think about here.

1. Save the things that comfort you to look at, listen to, read, etc. Whatever works for you on a hard day to feel a bit better, save those. Encourage other people to do the same.

2. Send more messages that people can save to make them feel less alone on a hard day. I love that the first response a friend had to hearing Monika saved messages like this, and might have lost them, was to send exactly that kind of message.

So hey, send more of those. Remind people in your life that you appreciate them and care about them. In personal and professional relationships, just say thank you in meaningful ways. You never know who saves those messages to get them through the days they don’t feel good enough.

I do. I bet people around you do too.
