If you've made a New Year's resolution to lose weight, chances are your resolve doesn't last very long. But if you follow these simple steps, you're more likely to keep your resolution--and keep off the weight.

Giving back is in my blood, but I didn't grasp just how deeply it is etched into who I am and how important it is as part of a successful business strategy until I became an entrepreneur.

I'm more inclined to make resolutions because if my happiness project has convinced me of anything, it has convinced me that resolutions - made right - can make a huge difference in boosting happiness.

I would hope to think freely, feel freely, and react freely, regardless of either the intensity or the restrictions in my surroundings. The same thing, of course, that I hope for in the day-to-day life I enjoy currently.

As a life coach I recommend that my clients, rather than doing 'iffy' resolutions, take on their schedule and how they spend it. This could have more of an effect on your life than all the resolutions you've ever made.

This Yom Kippur there is reason for concern. The politics of rumor, innuendo, and lies -- sinat chinam -- is on the rise in our community and it hurts us all.

If moderators try to abstain, they feel trapped and rebellious. If abstainers try to be moderate, they spend a lot of time justifying why they should go ahead and indulge.

A common misconception about adoption is that to get a kid you just have to go to another country and be as pretty as Angelina Jolie. As studio executives and movie reviewers have informed me again and again, I'm not.

An intent can be anything you want to change or achieve in your life or in the world in which you live -- it can be personal, social, or global, or all three.

The more we age, the more hormones we lose. Without the right levels of hormones, many women, and men as well, find that they just can't lose weight, no matter how hard they try.

In this market you're happy you have a job, but ugh, it feels stale. You wish you had that "new job" feeling you had when you first started.

Learning the art of mindful eating can prevent you from going back into your default eating mode. Mindful eating is not a diet. There are no menus. It is about learning how to be more aware of what you eat.

When it comes to being green, the emphasis is already on consuming less and in the spirit of lethargy and laziness, there are so many ways we can do less without almost any real effort at all.

Sleep. Sweet sleep. Did you know that optimal caloric burn happens when you get 7-8 hours of sleep a night?

Creating change in your life, however, has nothing to do with the time of year, the season, or if it is Monday or Thursday.

The First 30 Days is offering a free guide to help you get your goals solidified for 2009. I'll tell you now that it's not a step-by-step how-to guide.

As we roll into January, I have been reflecting (in between shopping, cooking, planning, and partying) on my past resolutions of 2008 and my goals for 2009.

My new "stay-at-home" status has brought me face to face with children's television like never before and I've developed a visceral disdain for it. The voices! The music!

At the end of 2009, don't you want to look back and see that you made a difference? That you matter? This is the first Monday of the New Year. Start it off by making a difference.

This year, I'm going to . . . Waste less, recycle more. Talk less, listen more. React less, consider more. Read less, meditate more. Complain less, compliment more.

Some woke up into this New Year with a square of sidewalk for a pillow and a cardboard box for a comforter. It used to be a few paychecks away from me. Now, I'm only a few weeks ahead of it.

I go through my dream journal at the end of the year and re-read everything I wrote down. I take the most interesting or funny or poignant bits, and make resolutions out of them.

I've rarely kept a New Year's resolution. The closest I got was when I pledged to stop biting my fingernails, and I still nibble from time to time. It...
