The Best Life Advice: Just Add Water

Someone once told me that when life goes wrong, to Just Add Water. It may be the weirdest, and yet most practical, life advice I’ve ever heard.

Just add water. Sounds kinda silly. But adding water is a cure for just about anything in life.

Want clear skin? Drink up.

Having a rough day? Yup, H2O.

What do I mean, you ask? Anytime you’re going through a rough patch, it always helps to do something that involves some sort of water:

• Have a good cry
• Take a shower
• Wash your face
• Take a hot bath
• Go for a swim
• Chill in the hot tub
• Visit the beach
• Drink a cold beverage
• Make a hot beverage
• Go fishing
• Wash your car
• Water the garden
• Dance in the rain
• Drown your man (kidding….)

See? It works for just about everything, even if only temporarily. Life’s problems will still be there, of course. But you’ll feel better after, which means you’ll be better equipped to deal whatever those problems are.

And guess what else? It works on kids, too! The next time your kiddo has a meltdown, help them relax with a little water therapy.

I love simple advice like this. Life is heavy, so little things that make it easier to handle are always a win in my book. Take a step back, remove some of the pressure, and allow the simple things to ease the anxiety.
