Imagine this. You're about to do something pretty stupid, and as your hand reaches for your smartphone or wallet, you see a bracelet with the acronym W.W.J.D. short for "What would Jesus do"? And then you might stop and rethink your decision. This is type of bracelet is something that many people from a Christian background have.

They have this little reminder to think through the perspective of someone who wants peace, love, and the best for humanity.

What's smart about this isn't just changing your perspective before making a decision. We’ve talked about that in principles like adding nature to your board. What's even more inspiring is having a visual reminder that nudges you to use change perspective at critical moments.
