Look, you’re not a lab experiment. Your body is pretty good at telling you when it’s thirsty. If you ignore that signal for years, you’ll end up with headaches, dry skin, and the kind of constipation that makes you rethink your life choices. But you don’t need an app, a special bottle with motivational time stamps, or a hydration coach named Chad.
Just sip. Sip mindfully. Sip often. Make it a boring habit, like scrolling on your phone or sighing loudly. Keep a glass on your desk. Drink when you walk past a fountain. And if someone tells you that lemon water will “alkalize your blood”? Laugh, take a sip of perfectly normal tap water, and walk away. You’re already winning.
