Lately I have been paying more attention to how staying hydrated affects the way I think and feel.
It is surprising how something so simple can throw you off without you realising it.
For a long time I misunderstood my body’s messaging.
Whenever I felt a drop in energy or a sense of mental heaviness, I assumed it meant I needed coffee.
What I thought was a caffeine craving was actually my body telling me I was thirsty.
I never stopped to consider how much coffee can dehydrate the body.
Coffee has its place, but using it instead of water was doing me a real disservice.
Looking back, a lot of the fogginess, irritability, and lack of focus I felt on certain days had nothing to do with stress or sleep.
Most of the time my body simply needed water.
The signs were subtle, but they were there long before I felt thirsty.
Once I became more intentional with hydration, especially on busy days or training days, I noticed a real shift.
🔥My mood improved.
🔥My focus sharpened.
🔥My energy felt more stable.
Nothing dramatic, just the difference between feeling out of rhythm and feeling aligned.
Today’s focus 🗓️
Drink a little more water than you usually do.
Notice how your mind responds.
