DAY 2 | NOURISH
Thankful for a Drink
By adding a new habit to your current daily routine, here's an easy way to drink more water and stay better hydrated.
Use your daily coffee or tea habit as a daily opportunity to drink more water, the essence of life. As you grab your mug from the cupboard, take out a separate glass or mug and fill it with water (cold or hot, whatever your preference).
Now take a few sips of water and think about how thankful you are for having easy access to clean water. Then think about how much you enjoy the ability to move your body, blink your eyes, maintain your body temperature and breath because of this wonderful liquid.
Try cleansing your palette by taking a sip of water before or between each sip of coffee or tea. Before you know it, you'll have added a whole glass of water to your daily consumption.
And what's amazing is that after a while, your body will actually crave it, making it really easy to follow through.
HOW IT WORKS
Every day for the next 9 days, I’ll be sending you a daily email to help you create new healthy habits to move more, calm and focus your mind, stay hydrated, nourish your body and connect with others.
Try the habit catalyst. Once you find one you like, use the version I described or create a version of your own and keep doing it every day for the next 14 days.
Why one habit and 14 days? I explain in podcast Episode #7.
If today's challenge doesn’t resonate with you, no worries — try the one tomorrow!
By the end of this 10-day project, my sincere hope is that you'll have discovered some new ways for building healthy habits.
