Drink eight glasses of water each day

“Don’t get set into one form; adapt it and build your own, and let it grow. Be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. If you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; if you put it in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. (If) you put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”—from Bruce Lee: A Warrior’s Journey

I generally prefer to drink non-carbonated rather than carbonated water. Today, however, I decided to change things up and quench my thirst with a bottle of (carbonated) Perrier mineral water. It went down more slowly than a typical same-sized non-carbonated aqua, but was enjoyable nonetheless. Still, I couldn’t help but notice a slight aftertaste that was left behind, which may be sufficient to make me think twice the next time I consider reaching for a carbon dioxide-laden Perrier.

Finished my 3rd glass (of water) of the day.

As long as I’m conscious of this goal throughout the day (rather than waiting till evening to remind myself), then I should be able to pace my water intake and avoid getting totally waterlogged.
