The brain's way of saying thanks for not boring it to death.
means Pleasantly new, cooling, or invigorating — something that revives you because it differs welcomely from the dull or stale.
from From 'refresh,' which entered English in the 14th century via Old French 'refreschir' — built from the prefix 're-' ('again') plus a root tied to 'fresh' (cool, new, not stale), itself a cousin of Germanic words for freshness. To 'refresh' was literally to make fresh again — to restore coolness, vigor, or newness — and 'refreshing' is the quality of doing exactly that.
