On Drinking a Glass of Water -

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Don’t forget to drink water and get some sun. You’re basically a houseplant with more complicated emotions.”
Unknown

IDEA OF THE DAY

Isn’t it amazing how sometimes the easiest solution to a problem is simply to drink more water.

Feeling grumpy? You may need a glass of water.
Craving a sweet treat? How about starting with water, and checking back in with yourself a bit later?
Been staring at your screen too long? Water break!

With summer in full swing, how about we make a pact to hydrate? I know I could drink more water throughout the day, especially when I am in computer mode and lose track of the time.

If you are a rock star who already has wonderful habits in place to drink your daily 6-8 cups of fluid, share the tips of what keeps you consistent! I’d love to know what works for you.

Other than that, get out there and enjoy a bit of sun, you exquisite houseplant!

QUESTION OF THE DAY

What’s the simplest way you could drink more water today?
