Are you feeling unhappy and unfulfilled with your life, work or relationships? Are you looking to live a healthier, more active and energetic life? Whatever it is you're looking to create or change, you've probably spent a lot of time seeking out the right self-help guru, affordable program or perfect book. I know from experience that there's a lot of self-help out there to choose from and you'll likely spend a ton of time and money searching for the perfect solution.

But I've got some awesome news for you...

Despite the various packaging and marketing, all personal development boils down to one simple concept: Personal responsibility.

Personal responsibility is about taking 100% responsibility for everything that manifests in your life. Your successes, your failures, the way others treat you, your health, your happiness, your finances, etc.

But I want to make one thing very clear, it's not about blame.

Buzz just got ahold of the new trailer for I Don't Know How She Does It, a film adaptation of Allison Pearson's book by the same name, starring Sarah Jessica Parker. The movie's got a great cast (Christina Hendricks and Busy Philipps, to name a couple), and it looks pretty funny and heartwarming - almost what we'd imagine Carrie Bradshaw's life might be like a few years down the line from where we last left her, juggling a loving husband, small children, and a successful career.

SJP's character is frantic and harried, focusing on everyone else's needs above her own, and at one point the trailer asks, "How do you keep life together, without losing it?" But that got us thinking: maybe we should be asking a different question altogether. That is, not just if a woman can have it all, but whether that's even what she should strive for.

I love reading diet plans. The idea of having meals mapped out for me is so appealing, even though in reality I'm more of a "wing it" type who's better off having a variety of healthy foods around to choose from. As a registered dietitian, I know that when you're trying to lose weight, it's important to find the diet strategies that actually work with your personality rather than against it-completely eliminating your favorite food or planning to cook 3 meals a day when you hate to cook, for instance, could set you up for failure. At EatingWell Magazine (where I'm the associate nutrition editor), we've homed in on 4 diet "plans" that can work for different personalities.

Giving a toast at a rehearsal dinner or wedding reception is supposed to be an honor. So why does it cause so many bridesmaids to ruin their $300 taffeta terror-of-a-gown by breaking into a cold sweat? Because there's a lot that can go wrong. I've seen more wedding toasts derailed by a drunken uncle or botched by a nervous maid of honor than I, or the happy couples, care to remember.

With emotions running high and wine flowing like water, it's all too easy to get long-winded, overly sentimental, and even inappropriate. The last thing you want is to make your lovely hosts wish they had one of those giant hooks to pull you offstage.

Before you take the mic, remember a wedding toast is not the time to make any of these mistakes.

Au revoir, adios, see ya-there are plenty of ways to say goodbye, but it's not always easy to know the right way to bid farewell to certain situations. It's especially tricky when faced with things like a bad date, in-law visit or a party where you're making new acquaintances. To help navigate the tricky waters of social mores, we turned to etiquette experts for their tactful how-to exit strategies. Read on to learn a few rules that will ensure you always make a gracious departure.

Dinner with a Friend

First things first: If you're exhausted or in a bad mood, it's best to pass on the dinner date. "It's your responsibility to contribute socially, even to a one-on-one dinner," says K. Cooper Ray, founder of manners and style blog SocialPrimer.com. That said, if you've had a leisurely dinner and are tired-or have somewhere else to go-it's best to tell your friend the truth. "This is when you can be the most real," Ray says. "I always think that honesty is

Researchers say it could have something to do with the elevated stress that commuters experience. Avoid road rage-and a sabotaged twosome-by making these habits part of your daily driving routine.

1. Commute with a friend or coworker (or your guy, if his schedules matches yours) and stop for coffee on the way. Even if it adds 10 or 15 minutes to your trip, it's worth it. That's because a recent study found that getting a caffeine fix in the company of others lowers stress levels, while sipping that iced latte solo will leave you feeling more stressed out.

2. Kiss your guy goodbye every morning. Or better

For most of us, work is a requirement. And until we uncover or create the opportunity that allows us to work our passion, we may be in a job that's just, well…a job. Accepting that your 9-5 is just a job works fine until you finally start listening to your passion and purpose. Once you begin to acknowledge your purpose and feed your passion, your "day job" may begin to feel like a burden.

So how do you make it through the 40+ hours a week without feeling like you are serving time for a crime you didn't commit? Here are nine tips on how to be happy at work:

1. Stay out of drama and away from contentious people.

2. Initiate a new project - tie it to a new skill you want to learn or practice.

3. Choose a better perspective: Look for opportunities and wins instead of shortcomings and losses.

4. Find a buddy. Research shows that people that have friends at work have a higher rate of career satisfaction.

5. Learn something new - read a book, read an article,
