These Arizona-focused Instagram accounts will fill your feed with beautiful photography, interesting history, and fun ideas for things to do.
Do you ever find yourself overwhelmed by bad news online? And despite the bad feelings, you continue to scroll through it anyway?
That’s a habit known as doomscrolling, and you’re not alone in it—nearly 1 in 3 US adults who use social media say they doomscroll “a lot” or “some,” with higher numbers for Gen Z adults and millennials.
Many people don’t realize they’re engaging in doomscrolling. App features like endless feeds and constant updates make it difficult for people to turn away from negative news.
Doomscrolling can give people a false sense of control over a situation, and it threatens mental health by making people feel anxious, sad, and angry rather than empowered.
Engaging with social media doesn’t have to be like this, though. One thing that can help discourage doomscrolling is following accounts that share positive, inspiring, and uplifting content.
Here are some Arizona Instagram accounts to follow that may help make your feed a better place for your mental health:

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Arizonans and our future.
Since day one, our goal here at The Copper Courier has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Arizona families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
