Article: The idea behind thought substitution (sometimes called thought displacement) is that you have the ability to control what you think and how you react. You can intentionally forget bad memories by filling your mind with more positive things. Your brain has a limited focus, and you can only keep so many thoughts in your immediate sphere of awareness. Try to replace the negative memory by exposing your brain to something brighter. Watch a happy or inspirational video, lose yourself in a story, or just look at pictures of cute animals. Thought substitution works best when there is some relation between the replaced thought and the "overwriting" thought. Thus: if you watched a horrifying video, find an inspirational video that grips your emotions just as powerfully. If you saw a nasty picture, look at images that make you smile. If you read something that triggered you, try reading a story that calms your mind. Video chat with a friend, play a sport, or do some yoga. Do something wholly unrelated to the internet, especially if it can get both your mind and your body moving. Browse lists of memes or photos of cute animals. Scroll through photos of something dear to you: good memories with friends and family, pictures of pets, pictures of places. Run a web image search for, say, "cute baby pandas" or "lazy sloths" to find the photos you need. Browse comedy videos on YouTube, or watch an episode of your favorite show. Look for videos of simple things: a baby laughing, an ecstatic puppy, or someone smiling. Find videos of peaceful things: the lull of the waves, the hum of a summer forest, or a panoramic mountaintop view. Run a web search for the sort of videos that you want to find. Search for "happy videos" or "puppy playing" to find content to soothe your mind. Check out YouTube Haiku or Vine for short but absorptive videos.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use thought substitution to overwrite the horrible image. Replace the memory with something positive, but equivalent. Do something positive. Look at pictures of something that makes you happy. Watch positive videos.

Article: Storage is a big factor when it comes to selecting patio furniture, especially if you live in an area where you can't keep furniture out year-round. Find furniture that's easily movable and will fit in your garage, storage shed, attic, or other area of your home. If you don't have a lot of storage space, invest in furniture that can be folded or taken apart easily. Oftentimes, patio furniture comes in sets. This can be cheaper than buying individual pieces. When looking for furniture, keep an eye peeled for patio furniture sold in sets. For example, say you're looking for a dining room furniture for your patio to host outdoor dinner parties. Many stores sell dining room sets. You may be able to get the chairs and tables you need at a bundled price. Be willing to compromise a little on sets. If you find a set that's very cheap, it may be in your second choice color, style, or material. As long as the set still meets your needs otherwise, and is made of materials that work well given your climate and area, it may be worth it to save the money and go with your second choice. When choosing chairs, make sure you select chairs based on your needs. Lounge chairs will not go well if you want chairs to place around a dinner table. Stiff dining chairs won't work well if you're looking for a chair to relax in while reading outdoors. Many chairs also come in bundled packages with accessories, which can benefit you. If you're, say, looking for a relaxing outdoor lounge space, a chair that comes with an ottoman can be a nice touch. Dual-purpose pieces can save you money and space on your patio. Look for, say, an ottoman that can also be used as an extra chair. Select a side table roughly the same length and width as your dining room table. This way, you can use it to extend the table during gatherings.

Look for items you can easily store. See if you can find sets specific to your needs. Invest in the right types of chairs. Keep an eye out for dual-purpose pieces.
