Potential Obstacles and Solutions

Potential Obstacles

Potential Solutions

I might ignore my phone alarms.

I set three so hopefully this will help me if I forgot the last one.

I could forget to set my water out, or bring it in, or get too busy to drink my water.

Having two clear jugs will help me. Also making the habit of carrying it around will help.

I could get discouraged if I don’t meet my goal.

I can remind myself this is a new habit and practice for me and will take time. I can be proud I am working on it and know if I continue I will eventually remember and make the new habit.
