BOTTOMS UP!

The habit of hydration is simple, but not easy! This is where I see so many folks fail: they set the “goal” of drinking more water without any plan in place. Use the tools you have developed in previous targets to build this habit. Use the Habit Change Key, suggestions from the Habit Library at the end of this chapter, or whatever planning tools you have found work best for you. Identify the things that are likely to stand in your way, and think through your strategy before you begin. Then get ready to be shocked by how much better you feel!

HABIT LIBRARY

1.Place a glass of ice water next to your bed at night to drink upon waking in the morning.

2.Purchase reusable water bottles or tumblers for home and work.

3.Place a sticky note on the door to remind you to take your water bottle with you when leaving the house.

4.Drink one full glass of water before every meal.

5.Set up a trigger that reminds you to drink water throughout the day (alarm on phone, calendar notice, sticky note).

6.Make a batch of flavored ice cubes.

7.Set an alarm on your phone to remind you to stop drinking water two to three hours before bedtime so you can sleep through the night without needing the bathroom.

8.Drink one glass of water before drinking any alcohol.

9.Drink one glass of water in between every alcoholic beverage.

10.Try making a large batch of flavored water.

11.Slice lemons and limes to keep on hand to put in water and seltzer.

12.Make a seasonal shift to warm beverages in colder months.

13.Drop one caffeinated beverage per day and replace with water.

14.Remove soda from your diet.

15.Add hydrating foods to every meal (see list above).

16.Map out the best bathrooms throughout your day.

17.Set a case of water by the door. Leave a sticky note at eye level to remind you to grab one as you leave.

18.Drink a full glass of water first thing when sitting down to a restaurant meal.

19.Ask a friend to be your “water buddy,” reminding you and working with you to remember to drink water.

20.Start a water challenge at work or at home. Challenge coworkers or your family to drink 100 ounces every day.

21.When hunger or a craving strikes, try drinking water first, then reevaluate.

22.Start taking water with you when you are out shopping or running errands—the air in stores is often dry, and it will help you avoid impulse-buying a beverage.

23.Experiment with green teas.

24.Try out an infuser bottle.

25.If this target is just not happening for you, try adding just ten extra ounces—and then another ten extra next week.
