How to Actually Keep Your New Years Resolution

By Dr. Jeff Godin Ph.D., CSCS, CISSN and Tammy Godin, B.A.B.

Seventy-eight percent of people fail at achieving their New Year’s resolution. Why? Is it because their goals are too lofty and will-power is crushed? Maybe they are in the contemplation stage of making a habit change and don’t know how to prepare and take action. Or is it because they are focused on the negative and not the positive aspects of their goal? Is it because they are extrinsically motivated, not intrinsically motivated, and when results don’t happen overnight they get frustrated?.

Some common New Year’s resolutions are, “I am going to lose weight,” “I am going to exercise more,” “I am going to learn a new language.” Regardless of the resolution, the key is to develop a SOLID PLAN.

Start by asking yourself the following questions:
1. What is my resolution?
2. What is holding me back now?
3. How will I accomplish my resolution?
4. How will I know when I get there, what are the acceptance criteria? READ MORE

Why You're Gonna Want to See The Change-Up

The Change-Up is one of the most straight-up fun movies of the summer. It doesn't take its familiar premise all that seriously – who really cares about the science behind a fountain that causes people to switch bodies when they pee in it? – instead saving its energy for putting its characters in the most ridiculous situations possible.

And they are some truly ridiculous situations. From softcore porn shoots to homicidal infants, the movie takes full advantage of its R rating to push things way beyond what you expect. The premise of the movie may be familiar, but the way they treat it is definitely new; I don't think Lindsay Lohan was ever accosted by a pregnant woman wearing only a trench coat in Freaky Friday.

With a cast that includes Jason Bateman gleefully playing against type, Ryan Reynolds being constantly thrown into uncomfortable situations, and a scene-stealing Leslie Mann, The Change-Up has some of the best comedic actors today working at the top of their game. It's a veritable showcase of the funniest people on the planet doing what they do best.
