Tips to Try - for hydration domination.
1. Start the Day with a Glass of Water
Drinking water first thing in the morning rehydrates your system after sleep, boosts alertness, and supports digestion. It’s an easy ritual, just like brushing your teeth.
Tip: Keep a glass or bottle by your bed so it’s the first thing you see when you wake up!
2. Use a Refillable Water Bottle You LOVE
If you enjoy how your bottle looks or feels, you’ll naturally carry it more and drink from it. A fun, personalized bottle can become a hydration “cue.”
Tip: Name it, decorate it, and make it your hydration buddy!
3. Use Habit Stacking (Link to Existing Habits)
Attach water drinking to a habit you already do, like checking your phone, brushing your teeth, or starting a work session.
Tip: Pick 2–3 daily habits and “stack” your water on top!
4. Add Natural Flavors
Not a fan of plain water? Add lemon, mint, cucumber, or frozen berries. It’s refreshing, fun, and doesn’t add sugar or calories.
Tip: Host a “Flavor Friday” where we all share our favorite water infusions!
5.Set Reminders or Alarms
Busy days make it easy to forget to hydrate. Set alarms on your phone or smartwatch to remind you.
Tip: Use fun custom reminders like “Hydrate, don’t hesitate!”
6. Keep Water in Sight, In Mind
You’re more likely to drink water if it’s visible. Keep bottles on your desk, kitchen counter, or bedside table.
Tip: Create “hydration stations” at home — one in your bag, one at your desk, and one in the car!
7. Keep a Big Bottle Next to You and Sip Like a Boss
A large bottle removes excuses. It’s a constant visual cue, and taking big gulps helps you drink more quickly and satisfyingly.
Tip: Go for a 1–2 liter bottle and make it your sidekick at work, on walks, or while chilling at home.
8. Place Water Everywhere You Go
If you see it, you’ll sip it. Place bottles or mugs in all the spots you frequent — desk, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, near the TV.
Tip: Make hydration feel like Wi-Fi — available everywhere.
9. Use Different Colored Bottles to Catch Your Eye
Your brain loves novelty. Use a different bright bottle each day to keep hydration fun and visible.
Tip: Create a “hydration rainbow” — red on Monday, blue on Tuesday, green on Wednesday...
10. Celebrate Progress (Non-Food Rewards!)
Linking water to positive feelings increases the chance of the habit sticking. Celebrate your wins with a new bottle or share your streak.
Tip: Hit a 7-day streak? Treat yourself!
