Water. We all know it’s important. Doctors have been telling us for years “Drink more water!” We know it helps skin and hydrates our organs.

We’re all human, so our bodies are made up of mostly water! Sometimes, it takes a while to get into a routine.

I use these 10 tips to help me drink more water each day! I hope they help you, too!

  • 1. Start the day with a glass of water. Begin your day the right way! Especially, warm water first thing in the morning helps to stimulate your organs and digestive tract to start working before you put anything else in your stomach.
  • 2. Start each meal with a glass of water. This will help with overeating which (let’s admit) we all do sometimes.
  • 3. Keep a pitcher on the counter. This makes it easy to keep refilling your glass because you see it all the time.
  • 4. Keep water handy on the go. This way, you always have access – like when you’re in the car. It’s always the perfect time to take a sip.
  • 5. Do you like caffeine? Use the 1–1 rule. For every cup of coffee, drink a cup of water.
  • 6. IInfuse your water with a dōTERRA citrus essential oils. Oils such as lemon, grapefruit, and tangerine taste great in a glass of water and are naturally detoxifying.
  • 7. Infuse your water with fruit or vegetable. Cucumbers, strawberries, or slices of citrus make for a tasty and low calorie beverage.
  • 8. Drink Sparkling water. You can even – you guessed it – add a drop of dōTERRA essential oil. Personally, I like a drop of Lime or Green Mandarin
  • 9. Drink Herbal Tea. Add a drop of dōTERRA essential oil, such as bergamot. Did you know that’s what Earl Grey tea is: black Tea & bergamot?
  • 10. Track your water usage on an App. Waterminder, while a paid app, is an amazing way to develop a water drinking habit. It integrates with your phone’s Health features, and can even send you reminders throughout the day when it’s time to take a sip. Or, if you have a FitBit – it’s free and works pretty great, too.

Bonus Idea: Use a cool, stainless steel cup & maybe even some fun straws!

*To safely drink a dōTERRA essential oil in your water – be sure to use stainless steel or glass. Plastic is NOT recommended.
