My top tips for improving your motivation to drink more water are:โฃ
โฃ
ย You may have to trial a few but find the best water bottle that suits you, should be light and easy to carry around, allow you to drink quickly and efficiently, regularly throughout the day. My favourite is the @hydratem8 tracker bottle. โฃ
โฃ
Visual reminders are very helpful. A good old post-itย note in a strategic place should do the job but for a higher tech reminder I LOVE the @thirstyulla reminder device – one size fits all water bottles. โฃ
โฃ
ย If youโre on your phone or a tablet regularly set alarm reminders to take a drink of water. Or I LOVE the @plantnanny_us app. Itโs very child friendly too if you want to involve the family or if you are supporting a child to drink more. โฃ
Finally, make water visible so that youโll see it and be naturally reminded to take regular sips. At the start of the day fill enough glasses or bottles to cover your desired daily intake – a target helps with motivationย โฃand place them around the house or office where youโll see them.
โฃ
There is abundant evidence that good hydration improves vocal stamina and endurance and reduces the risk of vocal injury. Forgive yourself if you have a โbadโ water day but plan for how to improve the next day. Xx
