4 Ways that I Remember to Drink More Water Each Day

As a personal trainer, I am always aware of the amount of water I consume each day. Finding a way to make sure I drink plenty of water is not an easy task. Water is a very important component to my health, yet it seems to be the one thing I could always have more of. Here are a few ways that I find helpful, to make sure I drink plenty of water through out the day.

1. Leave It At Work By leaving a refillable water bottle on my desk, it is a visual reminder to drink water. Every time I sit down to get some work done, I see the empty water bottle. I may not feel thirsty, but by seeing the water bottle empty I am motivated to fill the water bottle up, and drink some water. Then I can get back to work.

2. Set A Reminder On Your Calender When I am on the go all day, I find it helpful to set an appointment in the calender on my phone. When my phone notifies me of my appointment, I know it is time to drink some water. I set the reminder about every 2 – 3 hours. When that reminder pops up to drink water, I find myself having the desire to complete that task. It may not be convenient to drink water at that moment, but it is in the back of my mind that I need to drink some water.

3. Keep Track Creating a simple check list of how many ounces of water I consumed for the day, is another great way to track how much water I drink. I put it on my refrigerator, and check it off every time I pour myself a glass of water. This is great visual reminder for me, and everyone in the family on how many ounces of water I have had for the day. Plus, it gives me a sense of accomplishment every time I check off another glass.

4. Text A Friend From time to time I will send a text to a friend, or family member, to remind them to drink some water. By sending a quick text to remind them to drink water, it serves as a reminder for me to the same. This is a great way I have found to use technology to create the support I need to stay hydrated.
