New Habit:
- Beginner: Drink a full glass of water when you get up in the morning. You could keep a water bottle beside your bed ready for the morning. I like to drink mine at the kitchen sink and then give drinks to my plants.
- Next Step: Replace at least one additional daily drink with a glass of water. Be specific: I will drink water with lunch (or dinner) each day. Work up to choosing water over other drinks most of the time. The more you drink it, the more you will prefer (or at least get accustomed to, lol) the taste of water.
Journal:
What do you usually drink during the day? How do you think it would benefit you to change to water? If you switch to water, record any changes you might notice.
