You start with your physical to support your mental state, which will then allow you to focus on yourself. Growth. The very first thing I did to begin my mental health journey, I started from scratch. I drink water, as simple as that may sound. I want to talk about my experience with water. There was a point in my life where all I did was drink alcohol, soda, coffee, tea. I rarely drank water. I really didn't have the desire to

Water is the essence of life. A true statement was never spoken. Thank you so much for sharing this. I completely agree. I've gone through a similar process to you. I think I was lucky enough when I was a little bit younger, got in my early twenty s to discover different kinds of health and well being, whether it was water or even fasting or nutrition and yeah, I couldn't agree more

Soda converts to water in your body

Not completely, but it has a lot to do with mental health, I'm sure for people that are in a bad spot, let's say, like addicted to hard substances, hard drugs, like, if they were able to get adequate sleep and be able to drink a lot of water and eat just healthy meals and whatnot, it would probably make the addiction much easier to beat. But this is just my opinion. I'm just giving examples

Finding a glass that you like to drink out of, I think is another trick that I've found. Like, I know I have friends that sometimes would have the big plastic cups, and they loved drinking their water out of them. And I just for some reason, I can't drink out of the plastic. So when I started collecting Mason jars, I was like, oh, I prefer to drink out of this. It's silly, but I think anything to help you drink more water

And what I believe that, to me, is that and what I'm taught to believe it means from the spiritual system I follow is that we share with God the three divine attributes, which are omni, science, omnipresidents, and omnipotents. We just shared them in a smaller version or a smaller quantity. It's like comparing the ocean just for the sake of this conversation. The ocean is God. A little drop of water out of it is us come from the same thing

You made a very, very good point that I wanted to tap into real quick. You were you're right. You can't you can't drink too much water, because if you do, you will kill yourself. You literally will drown yourself itself. Right. Like you stated, it's not necessarily the water itself, but what's in the water. Right?

Oh, I'm so happy that I could help move you in the right direction. When it comes to getting jack on your water game, the trick you're using is one that I use myself to help me make water a priority. I got a real, really pretty cup. I did. I got a really pretty water bottle. I'm so excited. But I had to make it fun and cute, so that way it will become like a habit for me over time

It took me years to realize how important it is to take care of your body, your mind and your soul. That, to me, is where joy comes from. I don't think there's anything else in this world that can bring joy other than having amazing, optimal health. Everything else will fall into place once that's they know what
