There’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.
