9.6 Drink a Full Glass of Water at the Start of Your Day · Just Enough Joy

Sarahn Sankofa: Hello, beautiful people. Today is September the 6th, and today's calendar challenge is drink a full glass of water at the start of your day. Before the day starts, asking things from you. Do something for you. And a simple glass of water is a way to say, I'm taking care of me today. Right? It's a beautiful day today. Before you get into picking up your phone. Chit chatting, running around with all your responsibilities and your errands. Start your day by giving your body something that it needs. Hydration supports your body throughout the day. Water helps your body to function properly, it regulates your temperature and supports digestion and circulation. It's a tiny act of self-care. Sometimes we think self-care has to be elaborate, but taking care of yourself can look like something as simple as drinking water before you get caught up in the demands of your Day. Listen to your body today. Your body communicates with you all day long, and thirst is one of those signals. We have to build strong habits around staying hydrated and checking in with ourselves as another way to practice intentional living and joyful living. You can make the ordinary feel joyful. Add some lemon to your water. Take a deep breath, stand by the window or in the sun, and turn a basic glass of water into a moment of mindfulness. Mm-mm-mm. Before you pour into everyone else, pour a little love into yourself. Just enough is more than enough, Saran says.
