We have all found our own ways to cope with the pandemic that never seems to end. But some things are universal. So to keep your spirits up and balance out all the negativity, we at Bored Panda continue our most positive series.

Below, you will find a collection of wholesome pictures that show there is good left in the world after all. We're talking Nepalese climbers removing trash from Mount Everest to firefighters saving animals; this list has everything it needs to soothe your heart. At least for a little while.

When you finish going through the pictures, there are more things you can do to make your day a little brighter. Sarah Helen King, psychologist and founder of Invigorise, told Bored Panda that practicing gratitude can do wonders for us.

"Keep a gratitude diary near you and each day just spend a few minutes thinking about one thing you are grateful for, and write it down," Sarah suggested. "Then, whenever you are having a bad day, whip it out and read it. Instant mood enhancer."

For Those Who Step Up

For Those Who Step Up

My parents split when I was in first grade. My mom met my step-dad, mark, when I was in second grade. We moved in with him by the time I was in 3rd we moved in to his house. He treated my siblings and I as his own since day 1. He even would watch Gilmore Girls with me and my sister every afternoon. After my mom died when I was 16, Mark didn’t make us go live with our biological dad. He continued raising us as his own. He started out as my mom’s boyfriend and became my dad, my best friend, my go-to for advice.

Mark ended up working 3 jobs while having heart failure, asthma, and diabetes. He did everything he could to provide for my sister and I. He passed away 6 days before I graduated college in 2016. It’s been a few years but I still have trouble on Father’s Day. He could have ditched us when our mom died and we didn’t have enough income. But he didn’t. He was there fighting to put food on the table. Happy Father’s Day for all of the fathers who fight for their children.

He sounds like an incredible human, but the fact he had to work 3 jobs with such health issues enrages me beyond belief.

No Matter How Hard It Is, You Have To Try To Push Through

No Matter How Hard It Is, You Have To Try To Push Through

eric_clapp Report

But when it comes to news, the psychologist believes the only way to stop it from bothering us is to simply not watch it. "This has been hugely effective for many of my clients in minimizing anxiety in their day-to-day lives," she explained.

"As an alternative suggestion though, give yourself a daily time (e.g 6 pm) and limit (10 minutes) where you will catch up with the day's events. If you are prone to anxiety, steer clear of clicking on headlines that you know will be a trigger for you, and then after do something you enjoy, like go for a walk in nature or phone a friend for a catch-up and steer the conversation to something positive that happened in the day."

Another good alternative is The Happy Broadcast by Mauro Gatti, an illustration project that showcases some of the most positive news from around the world.

We bought a house at the beach for retirement a year ago, had a swimming pool built as much for our dog's love of swimming as for ourselves, had a shelf all around the edge and stairs so he (10 years old) could get in and out of the pool easily and he died just as it was finished. It breaks my heart that the doggie we took to the beach every year for 10 years will never get to actually live there year round. He LOVED swimming. We miss you Leo, our golden boy.

I lost my big girl almost a year ago. I'm roadtripping around Australia and she comes with me on every bush and beachwalk. I sprinkle little bits of her around on places I knew she would have loved. Her favorite was the beach as we had always lived right on the waves.

Ohhh! This just breaks my heart. But you kept your promise to her. I have lost many beloved dogs, and I know how devastating it is. I believe they are always with us and they know what we feel and how much we will always love them. She knows that you have honored her wishes and she will always love you too.
