Water

“Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Water, so useful, humble, precious, and pure."

- St. Francis of Assisi

Initial thoughts...

Before you reach for caffeine, reach for clarity—water. Every cell in your body runs on it. Dehydration quietly drains energy, focus, and mood long before you feel thirsty. Leadership requires fuel, and water is its most underrated source.


Hydration Is Neural Nutrition

Even mild dehydration reduces cognitive function by 20 percent. Water literally conducts thought.

Energy Without Expense

While coffee spikes and crashes, hydration sustains. Leaders who hydrate regularly maintain steadier energy across long days.

Practical Hydration Habits

  • Start each morning with 16 oz of water before coffee.

  • Keep a refillable bottle visible.

  • Add electrolytes or lemon mid-afternoon.

  • Replace one soda or second coffee with water daily.

Mindful Drinking

Pause when you sip. Let each glass remind you to slow down and reset.


Closing thoughts...

Your body is 60 percent water; your performance is too. Hydrate your leadership before you hydrate your schedule.
