​The quote “Ctrl + Alt + Del: Control yourself, Alter your thinking, Delete negativity” is a popular motivational phrase that creatively repurposes the well-known computer command into a metaphor for personal growth and mindset transformation.

The original author remains unknown but the quote has been widely shared across various platforms, including Pinterest and Instagram , and has been featured on products like wall art and journals available on Amazon and Etsy .​

It’s a clever and motivational twist on the classic keyboard shortcut. Another variation you might like is:

Ctrl your fears, Alt your mindset, Del your doubts.

This modern interpretation resonates with many seeking to “reset” their mindset, much like rebooting a computer, to overcome negativity and foster personal growth.
