Refresh Yourself and Your Thinking
Jul 9th, 2009 | By Dan O'Neil | Category: inspiration, tipsThere’s a great comment appeared on this post – what kind of world do you choose to live in? where Terry from Scrub Tops (link credit where link credit is due!) talks about having an F5 key programmed into his brain. Whenever things get on top of him, or he gets weary of all the bad news he imagines himself hitting F5 (which is the refresh button on most browsers these days) and then it refreshes his mind.
I find this a really powerful idea and something that is adaptable to anyone. If you’re not used to using the F5 key on a computer, then pick something else that reminds you of being refreshed. Perhaps you could imagine your brain taking a shower, or give yourself an imaginary favourite drink. I’d love to hear your suggestions in the comments below.
So thanks Terry from Scrub Tops (if that’s indeed your real name!) and I hope, like me, that you will find this a useful tip whenever you need to think more positively.
Refreshing yourself is extremely important. There are big changes in your life that start with little thoughts. Too often people get caught up in their “ways” and don´t get creative with themselves and refresh. Downloading your book by the way looks intersting.

Dan O’Neil says… Thanks Mark.
Doing the same thing again and again becomes very monotonousness. So it is really important to refresh yourself by taking part in other activating. Spending time in beauty of nature is the best thing anybody can do to refresh himself.
Dan O’Neil says… I agree – good tip. Thanks.
That is a good outlook on things. I guess you just have to train your mind that changing its perspective to something more positive is as easy as pushing a button, like the Easy button on the Staples advertisements.

Dan O’Neil says… Thanks Karen – just like the Staples Ads.
I imagine a small pin light entering my head from the top. Once inside, it starts to radiate outwards giving me a feeling of lightness and peace.
