What makes long term personal goals so damn hard?
The pursuit of long-term goals is a defining part of the human experience. It promises to translate our most precious dreams into lived reality. Which sounds pretty good, right? And yet, according to the best available science, only about 8% of goal setters realize their goals. If long-term goals are so essential to realizing our hopes and dreams, why are we so bad at sticking to them?

Dozens participate in goat yoga in Bastrop Co.
There are a lot of variations of yoga – but one trend that is growing is goat yoga. No, not the “Greatest Of All Time” yoga (some would argue it is), but yoga with goats. In Bastrop County Saturday morning, about 60 people took the classes. Dozens of Nigerian dwarf goats walked among the yogis – some even stood on people's backs.

How Competitiveness Leads Us To Sabotage Other People’s Personal Goals At The Expense Of Our Own
Say you’re planning to run a marathon, and you have a target time in mind. Or you’re on a weight- loss diet, and your aim is to lose six kilos in six weeks. Or, there’s an exam coming up, and you want to score above 75 per cent. These are all individual goal pursuits. In theory, you’re not in direct competition with anybody else, though of course if you’re part of a running club, or a weight loss group, or an undergraduate class, you will be aware that others around you are striving to achieve their own goals.

The difference between goals and objectives: Create an actionable business planning process
Setting goals is critical for every organisation because goals determine the broad vision and direction for any business. The best goals will align with the company mission, vision and culture and describe the business' longer term aspirations before laying out specific actions. Do you know the difference between goals and objectives and how are they related? Without objectives, goals have little support and can be difficult to reach.

Recent Study Shows How Yoga May Age-Proof the Brain
Want to keep your brain healthy and sharp as you age? Keep practicing yoga. A recent study of healthy older women who practiced hatha yoga for at least eight years found that they had significantly greater cortical thickness (CT) in regions of the brain related to cognitive functions (attention and working memory) than a group of matched controls, which may be associated with cognitive preservation, the authors say.

Using intrinsic motivation to pursue long-term goals
A recent study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology examined people’s willingness to invest in their goals. The researchers found that people are happy to spend time and money on things when they are seen as directly impacting their end-goals, but less so when it comes to the indirect means of achieving those goals. The reason relates to the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation.

The end of coffee: could Australia save the world's beans?
If a future of relentless fires, droughts, superstorms and rising sea levels makes you feel like you need a strong caffeinated beverage, there is some bad news: climate change is coming for the world’s coffee beans. Greg Meenahan, the partnership director at the non-profit institute World Coffee Research, puts it this way: “Demand for coffee is expected to double by the year 2050 and, if nothing is done, more than half of the world’s suitable coffee land will be pushed into unsuitability due to climate change. Without research and development, the coffee sector will need up to 180m more bags of coffee in 2050 than we are likely to have.”

Church bans yoga because it is 'non-Christian' - and villagers threaten a boycott
Parishioners have threatened to boycott a church that banned yoga from its premises because it is "non-Christian". Church bosses said the discipline that originated in ancient India "might be seen to be in conflict with Christian values and belief".

Coffee can help people have a more favorable view of their colleagues, according to new research
Drinking coffee before a discussion can help people stay focused and feel better about the people in the conversation, suggests a new study that appears in the Journal of Psychopharmacology. “We see coffee being served in many meetings but found very little research on how coffee might affect group dynamics. Most research is about how coffee affects an individual. So, we decided to study the effects (if any), of consumption of coffee on performance of individuals in a group, and the collective output of the group,” explained study author Vasu Unnava of the University of California, Davis.

Achieving success is simpler than you think
Before we can develop effective routines, we have to envision what “success” actually means to us. Admittedly, it’s easier to just adopt someone else’s habits. Among the billion pieces of content claiming to hold the recipe for success, there are a few common ingredients, from working double-time like Elon Musk to rising before the sun like Apple CEO Tim Cook.
