If you've never heard of Tank Sinatra, the creator behind the Instagram powerhouse “Tank's Good News,” chances are you've been living on the Moon. Tank, whose real name is George Resch, is a prolific content creator who gained millions of followers on Instagram through meme creation and reposting hilarious content. "Tank's Good News" is one of Resch's projects where he only focuses on re-sharing positive, uplifting media to the general public. It turns out that Resch's own personal story helped serve as a kind of inspiration for the account.

    Resch told Elite Daily that he struggled with sobriety more than a decade ago, before getting completely sober at the age of twenty-two. Now being thirty-eight, Resch recalls: "I would be frustrated that I wasn't positive, but I wasn't looking for anything to be positive [about], so it was a vicious downward cycle where I was unhappy and I looked for things to justify my unhappiness. When I got sober, I thought doing that would kill me. So, I felt like I needed to be positive to survive."

    ADVERTISEMENT

    In 2017, Resch created Tank's Good News, the hugely successful project that stems from his frustration with the negativity of current news. “CNN, Fox... they've made a business out of creating a visceral reaction out of people but that reaction is fear, anxiety and negativity," he explained. He didn’t know there was a market for good news, yet said he knew “if I could make people feel good, they would come back."

    This ! Kids don't "need" dads, moms or other, they need milestones, figures to look up to, knowing they can be safe with someone. Parents can do that, sure, but you can always help

    Courtney gave a fair opinion. I think a more accurate statement would be “parents SHOULD do that, but you can always help” Kids may have terrible parents and be taken to a loving home. Helping can well, help, but love is essential and heart breaking when it can’t be found.

    I'm happy some teachers not only take pride in helping their pupils learn, but help them learn life skills too. Such great mentors. I hope there are similar men in these boys' middle & high schools, so they & other boys can continue to learn about dads.

    I love this idea, but I wish they would do this for girls as well, I know it might be a better idea to do it with mothers for girls, but I think that a lot of girls who grew up without fathers need that father figure in their life as well, talking from experience here

    Absolutely! There has been a chronic shortage of "bigs" and an overabundance of "littles" for decades. The wait list for pairing is depressingly long and a lot of bigs are mentoring 2-3 kids at a time

    Kids today aren't taught how to be good people. They're expected to learn by observing their parents, but their parents are often absent or set poor examples. I think "How to be a good person" should be taught in elementary schools! secondhand...0a75f4.jpg secondhand-lions-aa38de0417e16e3a8d9385e13386d07c-620d0660a75f4.jpg

    This is so fantastic and I wish it would be implemented everywhere. Some kids aren't bad-- they just have no role models outside of other bad people. Show them a different way and sometimes it makes a huge difference. I don't mean to generalize but especially for boys. I feel like girls have a lot of feminine role models who do this already but boys really need it these days.

    This Is A Great Idea. Also, If You See Me You Can Say “Dad” And The Same Thing And I’ll Handle The Problem

    tanksgoodnews Report

    The huge popularity of Tank's Good News reflects not only its creator's but our shared fatigue with what’s happening on the screens and media. The worst scenarios are bombarding us every day and it’s only fair we get fed up with it. To find out more about it, what this negative exposure does to our mental wellbeing and how can we be more resilient to it, we spoke with Dr. Lise Deguire, a clinical psychologist and author of award-winning memoir “Flashback Girl: Lessons on Resilience From a Burn Survivor.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Dr. Lise said that indeed many people report that their mood is negatively affected by the news. “Of course, the news itself tends to focus on negative occurrences. For example, the news will report on the terrible car accident that happened. They will not, of course, report on the thousands of people that safely drove that day. (Safe, happy occurrences are not usually considered news.) But, because the news focuses so much on negative events, it can make us feel that only bad things are happening in the world,” she explained.

    The clinical psychologist added that the news often focuses on events that make us fearful, “because when we are afraid, we tend to think we need to keep watching the news.”

    When asked what are psychological benefits to reducing the time you spend on social media and watching TV, Dr. Lise said that when her clients report anxiety, sadness or anger about the news, she often encourages them to limit their news/social media exposure. “Most of us can stay informed through a quick read of the headlines. Having the news on in the background, or checking Twitter all day, often distresses people because the news almost always focuses on scary negative events and ignores positive ones,” she explained.

    The good news is that we can all learn to become more positive and resilient to negativity. “One way is to learn who or what makes us feel good, and who or what makes us feel bad. For example, my mood usually improves when I listen to music or go outside. My mood usually goes downhill when I stop exercising. All of us have activities that lift us up or bring us down.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Dr. Lise also said that the more aware we can be, the better choices we can make. “Does it help you to dance? Write? Call a friend? Take a bath? See if you can figure out what is in your positivity 'toolbox,'" she suggested.

    That's espacially sad cause most big stores would accept to prep your groceries in advance and put them in your trunk. Especially if you need help like by being elderly in a pandemic. I feel them though, it is hard to think through during such panick. I just hope they found a more reliable way to safely buy their groceries.

    I helped my mum look after my dad throughout his illness. I did all the heavy and hard stuff she couldn’t do that he would worry about - the garden, cleaning the car, shopping, diy, you name it I did it. There are lots of photos of that time - dad and mum, dad and my brother, dad and his grandchildren but I don’t have a single photo of me with my dad; I was always the one taking the pictures, capturing the memories for everyone else.i will have to try this, I miss him everyday.

    This is so true. I am 43 and in class with all teenagers. They know I have 2 grandchildren so they call me grandma and are more than helpful. Their kindness means the world to me. They never allow me to feel like the odd one out.

    Story Time

    Story Time

    One time I saw two young, black, females checking out at the grocery store (I’ll explain why I used these three descriptors later on in the caption). They had all of their groceries rang up and in bags already, when it came time to pay, they ran the debit card. It got declined, once, then twice. One sister looked at the other worriedly. I keyed in immediately. They tried another card, denied, once then twice. Then they pulled out the EBT card. I assumed they didn’t want to pull this out because of how some people look at people who use EBT cards (shame on THEM, not you). There wasn’t enough on it to cover the bill. They looked at each other with tears in their eyes and shrugged, half “Oh well”, half “Oh my god, what are we gonna do?”. I stepped in immediately and said “Please let me help you”. I mentioned they were young black and female because I’m an older white male, and I know that sometimes help can be seen as an act of pity, which in my case it was not at all. I wasn’t insinuating they couldn’t take care of themselves, I was just a human being watching two other human beings struggle. They seemed shocked but allowed me to help. We parted ways, but as God would have it, we wound up parked right next to each other. They were still sitting there because they were crying. Their mother had just died. They didn’t know how they were going to eat that night, or any of the following nights. I forgot the girls name, but we briefly connected on here. If you see this, please send me a dm to let me know how you and your sister are doing. Sorry for the long caption but this video hit me hard.

    And people should know that mental health HAS consequences on your body. Like depression that litteraly makes you move slower. If we treated mental issues like open wounds it would be cristal clear.
