Grab a glass of water, find something cozy to sit on and let’s have a chat about something very important, shall we?!
Many of us live in a constant state of looking for perfect health. We are tired and achy. We have brain fog and blotchy skin. We shell out big cash for supplements and shakes and gyms. All to little benefit. Don’t get me wrong… some of those are really helpful things, but some just might be a waste of money. However, can one simple drink that we have been ignoring, help?
We all know we need to drink more water. That is always the first thing I hear when talking to people. But let’s get real, drinking the right amount of water can be challenging.
I believe with the right tools and focus you can make it a habit that sticks and your body will praise you with so much love. Maybe we can say so long to the brain fog and blotchy skin?!
How to make it a habit?
Before I share why our bodies need water, it is important to start making it a habit.
Three years ago, I set up the first-ever ‘Drink more water challenge’ and was excited to help 36 individuals learn about drinking water and how to help make it part of their daily habit. After that, I have run this challenge twice a year helping more and more learn all about the ins and outs of why we drink water, how to make it a habit, and even sharing the best times to drink water.
- Did you know that it is important to not drink water right after eating a meal?
- Did you know that drinking room temp water vs. ice-cold water will have different effects on your body?
I loved sharing this info with anyone who wanted to listen and soak up whatever I had to share. I had so much interest that I decided to make it a FREE course that anyone could access at any point.
If you want to learn more about when to drink water during the day and why, signs of dehydration, the best app to use, and so much more, be sure to check out the course here.

I know it can be tricky but I promise the results will be so worth the effort. AND I know once you start making it a daily habit, it will become second nature.
