WATER:  The very best hydration for the human body comes with water!  Not foods or drinks with water in them.   

LIQUIDS: this area includes anything that is more than just water.  Some people think when they are told to drink water because they need hydration, that this includes any and all liquids. Teas, coffees, soups, juices, and other drinks may quench your thirst, however they most often will not hydrate your body.  Even herbal teas, healthy soups, quality coffee, and fresh fruit juices do not serve your body the same as pure water.  Enjoy your other liquid drinks and soups, however make it a point to drink more water!  

Some say to drink half of your body weight in ounces; i.e. if you weigh 150 lbs. then drink 75 ounces of water each day.  That is a great goal, however if that is keeping you from drinking more water because it's just too much for you to conquer, then work your way up to it by starting with one glass of water when wake up, one glass between waking and lunch time, then one between noon and dinner time.  That's a good start at 24-36 ounces of water.
 
To reach your goal of more ounces, do a round of tapping on that issue and pay attention to any emotions that come up.  Jot them down, rate them (each separately), and tap on them to bring that down.  You will most likely find that you will be reaching your goal much sooner and easily than you thought!  Yes!

You can do it!
