养成多喝水的习惯
养成良好习惯很难,我曾经试着在一天之内喝到足够的水量,有些人说一天要喝两公升才够,但我觉得我没喝那么多,为了养成多喝水的习惯,我试了两种方法,用一个很大的瓶子直接一天要喝的水量,也试过多泡一些茶来喝。
我知道中国人比较习惯喝热水,我虽然不太习惯,但有一天我突然觉得喝茶有点像在喝热水,因为我喝茶不加糖也不加奶,所以喝茶就只是像在喝有茶香味的热水罢了,虽然喝茶像在喝热水的这个方法有点像精神胜利法,但这两种方法确实能够帮助我养成喝水的习惯。
Building a Habit of Drinking More Water
Forming new habits is difficult. I’ve tried to drink more water each day since some people say you should drink two litres a day but I don’t think I drink that much. To develop the habit of drinking more water, I tried two methods. I used a large bottle to drink the exact amount I need to drink in a day and I also tried making more tea to drink.
I know that Chinese people are more accustomed to drinking hot water. Although I’m not very used to it, I feel that drinking tea is similar to drinking hot water since I don’t add sugar or milk to my tea. So for me, drinking tea is just like drinking hot water with the fragrance of tea. Even though the method of drinking tea like drinking hot water is like a mental victory method, these two methods can certainly help me develop the habit of drinking water.
