We get scary and upsetting news all the time. Practically every headline you see these days has something depressing to proclaim.

Therefore, it takes a lot of willpower to resist the temptation to feel that the world is quickly descending into chaos.

We are not saying there is anything wrong with reporting urgent issues that are going on in the world. However, we should at least give good news a chance.

There is a lot of good positive energy can do in a world that is constantly bombarded with bad news, especially after several months of dealing with COVID-19 and the nightmare it has turned our lives into.

Lately, there has been a constant flow of negative headlines due to politics and social unrest.

Luckily, today you will get to see The Happy Broadcast, an art series that will give you a free happiness experience. The series was started some years ago, and it focuses on positivity and things that will do your mental health some good.

According to science, some things will help boost your happiness. As it turns out, the consumption of good news is one of the things that can instantly improve your mood.

Therefore, we could all use some positive news and enhance our lives a little more. Below are some of the best cheerful news illustrations from the year 2021.

There wasn't much difference between the years 2020 and 2021. There is no doubt that we are facing many challenges as a society, and we are not sure that we will get past all these unscathed.

However, despite all the problems we have had to deal with, people have demonstrated that we can act, find good solutions, and create a better future for ourselves amid all the chaos.

With the help of science, we have managed to hold back the impact of the pandemic on our world. However, the truth is that kindness played an essential role in helping us deal with the pandemic.

This shows that if each of us makes a little effort, we can substantially positively impact our world. So, there is no need to get cynical and lose faith in the possibility that our world can get better.

It is equally naive to believe that our world can get better without a little help from each of us. We each need to pitch in because that is the only way to create a better future.

Getting overwhelmed is not the only option. We can celebrate and get inspired by millions who have proved that making a positive impact, even at an individual level, counts for something.

Some of us are optimists and see that each year is better than the previous. Even with years as challenging as the past two years have been, positive people can see some improvements.

Thankfully, new generations realize a need to promote a better future and do it as soon as possible.

People are becoming more selfless and trying to be kinder to fix some of the ills we often see in our society.

A small act of kindness can go a long way in helping improve our society and our environment. This series represents one such effort by showing how amazing people can be, even though mainstream news does not always highlight that.

The year 2021 has had a lot of work, fun, kindness, and other great things, but to be on the safe side, you should always make sure your mental health is protected. Exploring positive art is one of the ways to achieve this important goal.

The pieces focus on mental health and happiness. Rather than people working to mediate, track moods, and keep journals, they are doing what they can to be happier.

The ultimate goal we all want to achieve is happiness. The positive news is also intended to help make our society better.

Surprisingly, the fact that 2020 was so rough helped the artist behind this series maintain their perspective on things. This is something they think all artists should aim to achieve.

Although the pandemic is rough, plenty of stories demonstrate that human kindness is all around us.

Maybe the pandemic helped people realize how badly they need each other. The need for mental health is also essential, and people have also learned how much they need it to lead happy and everyday lives.

For instance, sharing the good news with others is an exciting experience that should be critical in our daily conversations.

Whether we realize it or not, the world is filled with many positive stories, and we need to promote them.

According to the creator of this series, we have positive news because someone was bold enough to step up and solve a problem that has been bothering us all. This proves that we can have a very positive impact on our world by taking action, one person at a time.

The creator of this series admits that making the illustrations helped them get through the pandemic. The project offered the artist a chance to interact with the community and share the good news with them as part of daily conversations.

As a creative person, taking on the challenge of baking and making pizza was also a great outlet for the stresses of dealing with the pandemic for them.

Creating a sense of purpose helps us feel like our lives have direction. It is also essential to spend less time on the phone reading posts before finally going to bed in this day and age.

Listening to good music when feeling down is always a great way to turn things around. Grabbing one and playing it is a great way to relieve stress for those who can play an instrument.

For art lovers, the process can be relaxing and creative.

This particular artist focused more on the message than the art form. That explains why they did not spend as much time on the illustrations but instead focused on the message they were trying to convey.

The artist advises younger people to focus on what they prefer to draw rather than the trends.
