I’m not proud of this, but I sometimes add a splash of lemon juice or a squirt of that Mio stuff. It’s like I’m tricking my brain into thinking it’s a treat.
Another thing: use a straw. Something about the straw makes my brain think I’m sipping a milkshake. It’s like a psychological loophole.
I also like to play “how many times can I refill my fancy glass today?” It sounds dumb, but it’s the most productive competition I have with myself.

Listen to Your Cactus Instincts
Your body is actually pretty good at telling you when it’s thirsty. The problem is we ignore it because we’re busy scrolling through TikTok.
If you feel a headache creeping in, or your lips feel like sandpaper, or your pee looks like apple juice instead of lemonade… drink up. That’s your internal cactus screaming for rain.
I’ve learned that by the time I’m thirsty, I’m already a little behind. So I try to stay ahead of the curve, like a hydration fortune teller.
