DRINK MORE WATER!
EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO TRICK YOURSELF INTO DOING SO
One of the tools our 3 Dimensional Wealth community has embraced the most is The Clarity Statement. It’s an all-in-one tool for setting a primary goal in each of the 3 Dimensions, with prompts to identify how to achieve BREAKthroughs in each area.
For many, maintaining proper hydration is difficult — after all, water is essentially tasteless. According to Mayo Clinic, women should be ingesting 11.5 cups of water each day, and men should have 15.5 cups daily. This amount can be tough to swallow, but it’s important that you try because water is essential to keep your body fully functional — and your health is an important Foundational Asset! Here are some tips to up your water game. INVEST IN A ‘FLUID BUDDY’ Believe it or not, purchasing a thermos or reusable water bottle and taking it everywhere is a great way to increase your water intake. With a constant reminder to drink H2O in your cupholder, purse, or on your desk, taking a sip here and there will never slip your mind. CONSUME FOODS RICH IN H2O Did you know that most fruits and vegetables are rich in water? Watermelon is 91% water, celery is 95% water, zucchini is 95% water, and honeydew and cantaloupe are both 90% water. Not only are these fruits refreshing, but they also pack a punch when it comes to hydration! DON’T FORGET THE STRAW Straws help you consume more fluid in a shorter amount of time. Whether at home or a restaurant, sipping water through a straw can help you take in more without realizing it.

FUN FOOD IDEAS HAWAIIAN HAYSTACKS Getting together as a family this month? Here’s an easy Andrew family favorite. (Plus, with lots of protein, veggies, and fruit, it’s a good-for-you meal!)
INGREDIENTS
BUILD A ROUTINE For many, drinking water just slips their minds.
• 1/2 cup each of chopped carrots, onions, and celery • 2 tbsp oil or butter, divided (for sautéing) • 6–8 chicken breasts or 10–12 chicken thighs • 4–6 cups chicken broth (for boiling the chicken) • 1/2 tsp each of poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper • 1 cup sliced mushrooms • 2 10.5-oz cans cream of chicken soup • 3–4 cups cooked rice • TOPPINGS: Grated carrots, diced celery, diced green peppers, diced green onions, grapes, mandarin oranges, shredded coconut, burnt almond slivers, chow mein noodles
By building a routine, you’ll be on your way to meeting your daily hydration needs without thinking twice. For example, you can get in the habit of drinking
one large glass of water before bed and another
upon waking. A large glass of water before each meal is also beneficial.
DIRECTIONS
FLAVOR YOUR WATER Whether you use citrus, mint leaves, cucumbers, or other flavor enhancers, giving your water a hint of a flavorful taste will help you drink more without it feeling like a chore.
1. Sauté veggies with 1 tablespoon of oil or butter, then add broth, chicken, and seasonings. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until chicken is fully cooked. 2. Remove chicken, shred it, and add it back to the broth and veggie mixture. Sauté mushrooms with remaining oil or butter and add to chicken and veggie mixture along with cream of chicken soup. Stir until fully mixed and heat to a simmer. 3. Once chicken and veggie gravy is at desired temperature, set out for buffet-style serving, alongside toppings and rice. Now everyone can customize their own haystacks!
Whether consuming water is difficult because you are busy, forget to drink, get bored by the flavorless taste, or dislike the taste, with these tips, you are sure to be on your way to maintaining hydration and good health.
