Tired of Feeling Like You Fell Short? 5 Ways to Set and Achieve Your Biggest Goals, Backed by Neuroscience

• Set a priority goal: Trying to achieve too many goals usually means failing -- to one degree or another -- at all of them. The key is to pick one goal you'll place ahead of all others.

• Set a big goal: If the goal you choose is too easy to accomplish, your orbital prefrontal cortex won't generate sufficient levels of arousal to drive action. Make your goal a big goal. And make it a priority.

• Define the action associated with the goal: You can't just want to be a successful business owner. (Or fit, or rich, or smart.) You have to want the work. If you want to run a marathon, you also have to want to go out every day and follow your training plan. You can't just want the goal. You have to want the routine. Otherwise, you don't really want to run a marathon. You just think you do.

• Measure your actions: Progress towards a goal matters, but what really matters is whether you're consistently doing the work.

• Do some daily visualization: Some days are better than others. Some days, you wake up raring to go. Others, less so. Either way, ask yourself two questions every day: "Do I want to pursue this goal?" "Do I want to do the things required to pursue the goal?"

4 Foods For Healthy, Beautiful Skin

• Tomatoes: Slice them, dice them, put them on a sandwich, or include them in your next kale salad. Tomatoes are packed with the antioxidant lycopene, which helps protect your skin from age-inducing free radicals.

• Flaxseeds: Flaxseeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and help keep the skin hydrated, making them one of your greatest allies in the battle against wrinkles. Flax also keeps your heart strong by lowering triglyceride levels and reducing inflammation.

• Dark chocolate: Keeping a clear complexion can be pretty sweet—the cocoa powder in dark chocolate is filled with anti-aging antioxidants known as flavonoids.

• Sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes are packed with vitamin C, a nutrient that may help reduce the appearance of wrinkles by bolstering collagen in the skin.

4 Ingredients That Can Supercharge Your Smoothie

• Protein powder. A scoop of protein powder can make a smoothie into a viable meal replacement, or help with muscle recovery after your gym session.

• Vegetables: Try adding kale or spinach to your smoothie. It won’t have a big impact on the flavor, but you’ll still get all the nutritional benefits.

• Full-fat yogurt, peanut butter, avocado, nuts/seeds: A little bit of fat not only helps keep the texture smooth and creamy, but it also helps you stay fuller longer.

• Unsweetened nut milk: Low or no sugar liquids like unsweetened almond or soy milk, or even water can help you get the perfect consistency without sacrificing the healthiness.

The Five Best Back Workouts for Men

• Wide-Grip Pullup: Grab a pullup bar with an overhand grip, wider than outside shoulder width. Hang from the bar and then pull yourself up until your chin is over it.

• Towel Cable Row: Hook a towel to a cable pulley and stand in front of it. Set up to do a row, holding an end of the towel in each hand. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and row the towel to your rib cage.

• Back Extension: Lock your legs into a back extension bench and allow your torso to bend forward so that your hips are bent almost 90 degrees. Extend your hips so that your body forms a straight line.

• Superman: Raise your hands and legs off the floor (and hold them straight) so that only your hips remain in contact with it. Contract your back as if you were trying to touch your heels and elbows to the ceiling.

• Swiss Ball Reverse Back Extension: Lie facedown on an exercise ball and walk your body forward so it supports your hips only, hands on the floor. Squeeze your glutes and raise your legs behind you until they’re level with your torso.
