How to develop the habit of drinking water?

[Kamila2002]

Hi everyone,

I have a huge problem with drinking the right amount of water. At first, I do quite well— I try to remember to drink water for a few days, but after a week, I either forget or simply lose motivation. On top of that, I don’t really like the taste of plain water, which makes it even harder to stay consistent.

Do you have any tried-and-true tips for maintaining the habit? Maybe some tricks, apps, reminders, or ideas on how to improve the taste of water to make it more appealing? I really want to take better care of my hydration, but so far, all my attempts have ended in failure.

I’d appreciate any advice! 😊

I have to have a water filter at home, as I hate the taste of tap water.

So, things I do is always have a bottle of water with me going out. Free drink, on the go and I always have a glass of water next to me at home. I start my day, recording on my piece of paper for planning my day, which just reminds me. Most days I am on track, but somedays, my energy drops and it reminds me to drink a glassful. Having it in sight, reminds me. I never leave the house now without it.

I don't know about flavouring. some of my friends add a slice of fruit, lots of ideas online. I am happy to have my plain.

The other thing is do you like cold or room temperature water, this could make the difference in you drinking more.

Hi, every evening I fill a 2 litre bottle of filtered water and put in the fridge, then the next day I know I have to drink the whole bottle. I also take a water bottle with me every time I go out, and just have a mouthful every so often

You can also put a slice of lemon or lime in the water

Good luck

Tea and coffee are included. I try to remember to drink 1/2 tumbler of water or 1/2 small bottle before I eat. Don't always remember but it is a good habit to have. I also have a glass of water by the toilet at night and have a sip if go to the toilet. As I say keep trying!
