👩 WOMEN : YOU’RE NOT “MOODY” — YOU MIGHT JUST BE DEHYDRATED.

Research shows that even 1.36% dehydration can significantly disrupt mood and mental performance in healthy young women.

The study found:
• ↑ Anger & irritability
• ↑ Fatigue
• ↑ Headaches
• ↑ Mood disturbance
• ↓ Concentration
• ↑ Tasks feel harder

All from dehydration so mild most women wouldn’t notice it.

Why this matters: hydration in women fluctuates naturally (cycle, stress, caffeine, workouts).

If you feel foggy, irritable, low-energy, or emotionally off — it may not be hormones.
It may simply be not enough water.

Drink consistently throughout the day — your brain feels dehydration long before your mouth does.

🎲 Rummikub & Scrabble > Doomscrolling

Instead of lying next to each other, both glued to a screen, do something active together.

Rummikub and Scrabble are perfect anti-screen games for couples because they:
• Replace passive scrolling with real interaction
• Spark focus, memory, and quick thinking
• Create playful competition and conversation
• Pull you out of algorithm-induced brain fog

No endless feeds.
No background noise.
No half-attention.

Just a table, tiles or letters, and your partner across from you. Also good for the family!

Make it a habit:

Hello, Admin here, our baby girl was born, and everything is good. Please offer a little prayer.

The more a mother enjoys her motherhood, the more her child will enjoy their childhood.
You will never get these special moments back. When the world tries to tell you that you “could be doing so much more”, remember what a privilege it is to be a tiny human’s everything.
