It\u2019s really unclear in the field of hydration expertise how much water\u00a0you should\u00a0drink, with much debate around the topic, but it\u2019s\u00a0clear that proper fluid balance in your body is imperative to supporting every system in your body. See the following links for more information about how water works in your body. Think: motivation & visualization while drinking your water. There are also risks to drinking too much water that everyone should be aware of and the actual amount of water that each individual needs to drink does depend on their own body.<\/p>\n

Here’s a list of\u00a0sweet\u00a0tricks I\u2019ve compiled from clients, athletes and friends that can help you stay on the water wagon.\u00a0Get creative with it and add to the list!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Drink water in the morning first thing.<\/li>\n
  2. Try adding mint leaves, limes, or oranges to your water.<\/li>\n
  3. Get a big drink container that you love and know how many refills till you meet your quota for the day.<\/li>\n
  4. Try drinking water at each transition\u00a0in your day- on your way to somewhere, sitting down to an activity, driving home, etc.<\/li>\n
  5. Take drinks each hour on the hour during your workday.<\/li>\n
  6. Drink with a straw or mix up how you\u2019re drinking.<\/li>\n
  7. Drink water in social situations (you\u2019ll be surprised at how quickly it\u2019ll go down and keep you from other non-water temptations).<\/li>\n
  8. Combine habits: Drink water while you\u2019re filling the bathtub, working out, as you sit down to read, on a walk, watching a movie.<\/li>\n
  9. When you drink your water, think: \u201cMmmmMm, water!\u201d Imagine the water doing wonderous things inside\u00a0 of you.<\/li>\n
  10. Appreciate how blessed you are to have an abundant supply of clean drinking water available to you on a consistent basis. Give thanks to each sip!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
