Brits and UK-residents only, please.
Relevance to Brexit should be clear.
Petitions - UK Parliament and UK GovernmentPetition: Ensure new sewage treatment infrastructure meets higher standards as in the EUWe urge the government to review the regulations for new sewage treatment infrastructure and introduce new legislation to ensure high international standards are met; to safeguard people’s health, better protect all water bodies and reduce damaging long term impacts.
- Get your thoughts out of your head.
Writing it down or talking to someone slows things down to give you a chance to notice the illogical leaps.
- Continue activities you enjoy.
Work out the things that lift you up - gym, a book, a long walk - and make them non-negotiable.
- Remember your worth and your success.
You are still the person who existed before it, and there can still be a person after it whom you haven't met.
- Find a critical friend. You need someone who is your cheerleader but will also call you out when you let good habits slip.
- Work out what you can fix, and what you can't. If you've caused harm, take responsibility: apologise and put things right where you can. But don't take responsibility for things that were never yours to carry.
- Don't confuse your worst moment with the whole story of your life. You are not that mistake.
