A glass of water. Your body isn't that complicated.
When your mood feels foggy, drinking water is often the fix you weren't expecting.
my head felt foggy all morning, then I drank some water
Your head feels heavy, vaguely. You feel irritated, vaguely. You go looking for the reason in old memories, in your personality, in your relationships. But sometimes the reason is much simpler than that.
Like: you haven't had enough water. Your body is around sixty percent water, and modern life makes it really easy to be slightly dehydrated all day. Dehydration dims your thinking and pulls your mood downward.
Today, just drink a glass of water first. Cold, room temperature, hot, whatever. Before you go searching deep inside, ask your body the basic question: "Am I hydrated?" If the answer flips to yes, the world looks a little different.
