Sought: Real Refreshment

Today has been a refresh refresh refresh kind of day. Refresh email and get emails you didn't really even want. Or, just as bad, refresh news sites over and over again, waiting for any new news. I get why "they," whoever "they" were, called it the refresh button (though it's not a button). It sounds really positive, infinite, infinitely quenching. Obviously it's almost never so.

When you find yourself deep in a hopeless "refresh" spiral, what do you do to break out of it? Taking any and all suggestions. I know "go for a walk" is a great answer here, but I guess I'm looking for things that feel of the same energy level, commitment, as sitting there hitting the "refresh" "button." Do you have a motto that keeps you from doing this? (I don't know...) Do you suffer from the same tendency?

This symbol...where ouroboros symbolized wholeness, this cursed adaptation feels to me to symbolize emptiness.
