One of the most common pieces of advice that nutritionists, doctors, and fitness trainers give people is to drink more water. Unfortunately for so many people, this is a lot easier said than done. Okay, let’s get real here: water, in the wrong context, can seem bland and boring. The key word here is context. If you want to drink tons of water per day and not feel like it’s hard, you need to reframe your mind to understand the context better. The way to drink more water is to do it at the right times.
If you’re always trying to drink water at times where you normally drink something more “interesting”—you’ll constantly view water as a burden. The trick is to drink water at times when you’d normally be doing something completely different.
So instead of pressuring yourself to drink water while at a movie theater, when you’re in your “fun context”, drink it while you’re at work. Or while you’re on the bus. It’s usually those transition periods—the moments where you wouldn’t expect—where drinking water really shines. Before you know it, you’ll be drinking major amounts of water on the daily. And guess what, you’ll love it too.
