I flew to Denver last week for a work trip. I settled into my seat and heard a woman come on the intercom. I was expecting the typical safety talk along with some administrative announcements. She surprised me when she introduced herself as the pilot. Then I felt embarrassed. I had assumed she was a flight attendant because of her gender. This is what I was used to, and how I have always experienced air travel. I let societal norms influence my expectation, and it was shameful. Have you ever experienced a similar circumstance? What are some expectations you have had that turned out to be wrong? How can we reshape these societal norms?

I struggle to drink enough water. There are days where I don't drink anything between my morning coffee and the time I get home. Clearly this is bad for my health, skin, and metabolism. To overcome this challenge, I schedule out how much water I should drink my what time. Total water needed: 64 oz Divided by small (attainable) 8oz cups: 8 cups Space them out: -- 1c when I wake up -- 1c by 10am -- 2c with lunch -- 1c by 2pm -- 1c by 4pm -- 2c with dinner
