To make drinking water easier and more enjoyable, fill a large bottle with water and drink it throughout the day. To make water more enjoyable, add a little flavor to your water.
Small steps can lead to great success. It’s easier to focus on one thing at the time than it is on other things. You can make one small change that will lead to more positive outcomes. You will be a blessing to your future self.
