It was not long after your first hesitant attempt at navigating your new pc or laptop, that you became aware of the magic three buttons with the amazing capacity to extricate you from whatever your minefield of ignorance had dropped you in. The Control button, when pressed with the Alt and Delete buttons, forces a soft reboot. In most personal computers, it brings up the Logout dialog. These keys are sometimes referred to in computer manuals as interrupt keys, since they are often used to interrupt the operation of a malfunctioning program.
Our on board carbon based wonder – our brain - has many similarities with the much inferior silicon based systems we use so often in our daily life, and in this case (Ctrl.Alt.Del) we can learn much from them. If you continually remind yourself of the three interrupt keys your life will become much simpler as you learn your own “soft reboot”. Start practicing on all life’s little niggles and, as the mental habit becomes reinforced, you will find that you remain centered and more effective in your daily life. With practice even the “big” things can be handled in better ways. They are, quite literally, the keys to a more balanced life.
Jot the following down, and keep it in view until it becomes your default setting:
1. Control yourself
2. Look for Alternative solutions
3. Delete the situation which brings all the tension
