DRINK MORE WATER
It took a long time to get into the habit of drinking water and then the weather changed and I stopped. That's no excuse but it is the reason.
The assignment: do you drink enough water? How do you make drinking water more enjoyable?
When I was drinking enough water it was simple:
- I bought myself a Tervis Tumbler which holds 24 ounces (700mL) with a lid
- I filled our Brita water jug
- I calculated that based on my weight I needed to drink 4 litres* of water every day - six full tumblers of water (I also need to compensate for any coffee or wine I drink by drinking an equal amount in water)
- In the bottom of the tumbler I would put a few slices of lemon, or cucumber, or a few berries to make the experience a bit less blah.
- I recently purchased an ice maker which I know will make the experience better, or at least crisper.
Now I just have to get into the practice of filling up the tumbler with water, ice and fruit and just have it with me most of the day. So far I've had three tumblers today and I feel like I'm about to float away!
* Take your body weight in pounds. Divide that number in half. That number represents the number of ounces you should drink in a day.

Like Bree Hester, I believe you choose to be happy. Sure there are bad (out of your control) things that happen, but how you handle them is completely up to you. Your choices are your responsibility - there is no blame, no shame, no nothing but accountability. Your attitude is your decision. I choose to be happy. Happy within the context of not wearing the proverbial rose-coloured glasses or any expectation that those who populate my life have made the same choice :) Last October, Bree put together 31 DAYS TO A HAPPIER YOU and, armed with her PDF, I'm using March - that dreary time between winter and spring that seems to drag on forever - to make the conscious choice to be happy every day this month!
