Between school drop offs, work, errands, and making sure everyone else eats and drinks, it’s easy for moms to forget something as simple as drinking enough water. Even mild dehydration can leave you feeling tired, cranky, and unfocused, and none of us need more of that.
The good news? Staying hydrated doesn’t have to be complicated or boring. Small tweaks can boost your energy and mood throughout the day.
3 Simple Ways to Drink More Water This Week
1. Start your day with water before coffee.
The coffee will still be there, I promise. Drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning helps wake up your body and kickstart hydration before the caffeine.
2. Keep water with you, always.
If it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind. Find a water bottle you actually like (bonus points if it has a straw—you’ll naturally sip more) and keep it with you wherever you go.
3. Use reminders.
Set a timer, use a water-tracking app, or simply put a sticky note on your desk. Little prompts throughout the day can help you stay on track without overthinking it.
Why It Matters
Adequate hydration supports your focus, energy, digestion, and even stress management. It’s one of those simple habits that creates a ripple effect, making everything else feel a little more manageable.
