Where Do You Stand? Sibling Rivalry
Even though I'm the oldest in my family, I've still fallen victim to sibling rivalry. And while my brother and I are very different, it's that competition that often times pushes us to reach our goals, whatever they may be. Yes, rivalry has a down side too, but tell me, where do you stand on the matter?
The How-To Lounge: Sticking With a Goal
The New Year isn’t the only time for resolutions. In fact, I’d wager to guess that most of us are creating goals all year long. But the problem with goals is that they don’t count for much if you don’t follow through with them.
What Do You Want to Do Before You Die?
I just came across this great website asking a very poignant question: What do you want to do before you die? The inspiration behind this project was sparked by "a passion to get people to think about (and act upon) what is really important in their lives through this simple, very straight-forward question."

What New Things Do You Want to Try This Year?
I'm not a huge fan of New Year's resolutions that make you feel like you're a horrible person or that you've done something wrong if you don't follow through. I'm more into resolutions that are positive and inspire you to be a better you rather than "I will stop eating sweets," or "I will try to be more organized." My New Year's resolutions always start out with this: "This year I will try x, y, and z."

Don't let a case of the Mondays get you down — think of Monday morning as a chance for a fresh start with a clean slate to set new goals. Viewing the new week like you might view the New Year is a great way to make the most of your work week.

Lessons From the White House Chef
Part of Michelle Obama's master plan to reform eating habits in this country includes the directive of a young chef named Sam Kass. Kass has been the Obamas' personal chef for several years now, and when the Obamas packed up and moved to the White House, he did too.
Kass, 29, plays more than cook at his current post: he is the first White House chef to have an actual desk in the East Wing and works alongside the rest of Ms.
You May Just Want to Keep It to Yourself
For some of us, telling the world that we are finally going to get healthy is a good thing because it holds us accountable and forces us to succeed.
For others, having to live up to the pressure from other people along with your own personal pressure can use too much of the energy that you should be focusing on achieving your goal at hand (not making others happy) and ultimately sabotage your goals. So if you find yourself identifying with the latter, then you may just want to keep your goals to yourself in the beginning so the pressure is not coming from all directions.
