We are certainly all creatures of habit. If you don’t currently drink a lot of water, know that every lifestyle change and habit has its first day! Eventually that first day will turn into the next and soon enough it will become second nature and a part of your routine. The goal just has to stay in the forefront of your mind, even if you mess up here and there. Eliminate any guilty feelings (recall the importance of getting rid of guilt!), and believe me, that day will come. I remember the days during cross country season when my coach would constantly remind us to drink water and me preferring the taste of blue gatorade instead. Now I’m alarmed when I see apple cider vinegar in the toilet bowl (if you have a puzzled look on your face, go back to the previous entry). Below are a few tips that I’ve found helpful in my journey to drink more water.
TIP #1: Begin your day with a tall glass of water, even before your first morning brew or eating breakfast. This serves as a wake up call for your system signaling the beginning of its long day ahead. If you need to use a special cup, go on ahead. Whatever works for you. I’ve actually started to prefer one of the cups we use in my home during the summer months for cookouts. Random, I know, but it’s large and allows me to get in a lot of water.
