Easy Tricks To Help Hydrate Better
1. Start With Small Goals
If you work at Starbucks or a job that requires lots of standing, it’s important to pace your intake. Instead of aiming for a gallon a day, start with micro-hydration goals, such as drinking one glass before breakfast or sipping during each break. These tiny daily hydration tricks help your body adjust to more water while reducing the pressure to chug large amounts in one sitting.
2. Gradual beverage swap tricks
Another underrated technique is swapping sugary drinks for water one step at a time. Instead of cutting out soda or juice completely, try the gradual beverage swap trick: for each flavored drink you have, replace the next with water. This simple transition keeps you hydrated while reducing sugar intake—a win for your wellness and wallet.
3. Use timers and hydration apps
If you’re someone who forgets to drink water entirely, timers and hydration apps can be a game-changer. Many people use gentle hydration reminder tricks, such as setting alarms every hour or turning on smart notifications. These nudges help create structure around your water-drinking routine, making it easier to stay consistent, especially on busy days.
4. Motivational water bottles are your friend
If you need something portable, invest in a water bottle or jug. Especially ones that have motivational quotes written on them. Many people find that switching to a bottle with a straw, handle, or marked measurements can boost motivation. Known as the motivational bottle trick, this small yet powerful upgrade turns hydration into a satisfying visual milestone.
5. Infuse With Flavor For A Better Taste
If plain water tastes bland or looks unappealing, try infusing it with fruit, herbs, or light electrolyte drops.
This simple technique—sometimes referred to as flavored water tricks for beginners—makes hydrating feel less like a chore and more like a fun treat. Popular combinations include lemon-mint, strawberry-lime, or cucumber-orange, which can add a natural boost without the added sugar.
In Conclusion
Be sure to prioritize hydration as part of your self-care. Drinking water isn’t just about meeting a number—it’s about supporting your energy, skincare, digestion, and mood. By incorporating these simple daily hydration tricks, you will have a routine that feels natural instead of forced.

About Me
Hi I’m Brooke. Your fellow blogger and entrepreneur from the east coast. Welcome to my world.
Definitely, fruit or mint added to the water, other herbs help! Then it is no longer ordinary water, but delicious water!
Thanks for sharing these helpful tips! For me it also helps to make sure I always have a glass of water or bottle with/next to me. It’s a small reminder to take a sip every now and then.
Also making sure I drink a glass of water immediately after getting out of bed, makes me start the day in the right way 🙂
This is true. I started drinking more water and my skin started glowing. I wish more people would do it.
People think I’m crazy…I love water. Plain. And cold. But I do love the occasional fun flavor packet. We have so many water bottles it’s almost embarrassing lol
Good tips! When I first had a hard time drinking water it really helped for me to infuse with lemons. Now I use a 32 fl oz bottle to make sure I get my water intake. Good Post!
