DO YOU know full well that Brexit is ruining your health, but obsessively seek out every little crumb of news about it anyway? Here’s how to wean yourself off.
Gorge on nice news
Instead of filling up on nasty Brexit stories that give you a stomach ulcer, enjoy wholesome, positive news. Try beginning the day with some lovely juicy stories about Trump’s impeachment or Greta Thunberg saving the world. There, isn’t that better?
Try fasting
Nominate a couple of days every week where you don’t consume any Brexit news at all. it might seem impossible at first, but you’ll quickly realise that you don’t actually need it. If there’s a boll*cks petition to sign it’ll still be there tomorrow.
Curb your cravings
Like a snack addict eating fruit, like a heroin addict on methadone, you can try replacing your Brexit fix with something similarly painful but less damaging in the long-term. Try asking someone to punch you hard in the face, for example.
Go cold turkey
Sudden withdrawal from Brexit will be uncomfortable and the urge to check Twitter for a hit of frothing outrage will be very hard to overcome. However, once it’s entirely out of your system you will feel reborn. Until it happens.
Binge and purge
Much like going on a massive bender and then swearing off alcohol because you want to die, going on a really big Brexit binge could put you off for life. Try listening to Julia Hartley-Brewer’s radio show while simultaneously reading Guido Fawkes and the Daily Mail’s comment section. Warning: could kill.
