Lift one egg out of the batch if you're boiling multiple eggs. Carefully lift the egg and tip the spoon slightly to remove the water in it. The egg will be hot right out of the water, but you don't want to cool it down or you may get an inaccurate reading from the thermometer. Instead, use thick oven mitts to handle it. Push the sharp end of the thermometer into the shell and go down into the center of the egg. Leave it there for a couple of seconds until the thermometer gives you a reading. You can purchase an instant-read thermometer online or at a kitchen and department store. The yolk should be between 158170F (7077C). If the temperature is lower than this range, you should put the egg back into the water to cook it more. If it's higher, it means you've overcooked your egg. An overcooked egg yolk can be dry and chalky but is still edible.

summary: Lift the egg out of the water with a spoon or ladle. Use oven mitts to handle the egg. Press an instant-read thermometer into the center of the egg. Read the thermometer's display.

. You are a complex human being who is faced with many complex experiences daily. Because of this, you may forget to focus on your inner-self, and pay attention to how your words and behaviors not only affect you, but others as well. Becoming more self-aware of your current personality traits and how they affect you and others will help you to identify areas you may want to change. The primary areas of self-awareness include: personality traits, values, morals, and beliefs, habits, emotional and psychological needs. Self-awareness of your personality can help you navigate your world better by gravitating towards situations that provide you with positive experiences and rewards, and avoid those situations that can be destructive and cause you too much stress. In other words, self-awareness of your personality will help you analyze how you react and feel about things to help you make better choices in life. These can be traits you already possess to some degree. They can also be traits you don't currently have, but wish you did. For instance, you might be a naturally shy person who wants to become more outgoing. If you're already a creative person, you could decide to work on applying your creativity in more areas of your life. Don't work on too many personality traits at once. Choose just one or two at first, so you don't get overwhelmed. If you have any qualities that you don't like, write them down. Traits that bother you or make your life more difficult are good candidates for this list. For instance, if you have a tendency to interrupt people, you might decide you want to break that habit. Personality traits are constructs that make up who you are as a person. These traits are further broken down into daily habits. Keep in mind that your habit change should involve the overarching personality traits that influence negative habits. For example, you might dislike your habit to disrupt people. This habit aligns with the personality trait of self-centeredness. Such a trait may show up in other habits like throwing tantrums when you don't get your way or gossiping. Look closely at your habits to find the bigger trait. Then, try to identify other similar habits indicated by that trait. Look over your lists and think about how you can make them a reality. Make a new list of specific actions you can take to improve your personality. Make sure your actions are focused around everyday situations you deal with frequently. After you have devised a list of feasible actions, start implementing them into your everyday life. New habits are developed by replacing the negative ones with more positive, adaptive choices. Add in more positive habits, and you'll gradually extinguish the old. For instance, if you're trying to become more punctual, you could commit to leaving for work every morning five minutes earlier than you currently do.

summary: Become self-aware Make a list of personality traits you want to develop or strengthen. Jot down some habits you want to minimize. Go from small to big. Create a plan. Put new actions into practice.

Weighing yourself regularly is important when you're trying to gain weight. Note your starting weight and how much you're gaining per week. This information can help see how much progress you've made or signal that you need to reevaluate your plan. Weigh yourself at the same time of day, in the same clothes or no clothes each week. This will help cut down on any inaccuracies (like clothing or food you've consumed throughout the day). Each month, check in with your weight and food journal. Assess how well you're doing and if you'll be able to or have reached your weight goal. If you've been gaining weight steadily, you'll most likely reach your weight goal. Or if you've reached your weight goal, monitor how well your current calorie level helps you maintain your weight. If you've stopped gaining weight or hit a plateau, it's time to reevaluate your diet and lifestyle. Count your total calories again and review your food journal. If you've been consistent with your diet, you may need to increase your calories. Make the required changes and check back in another month to reassess your progress. A support group is helpful for any change or goal you have. But when you're trying to gain weight (especially after an illness), a support group can help keep you motivated and encourage you as you progress towards your goal. Talk to your family and friends about your situation and your goal. Share with them what you're doing, why and how they can help keep you on track.
summary: Weigh yourself weekly. Reevaluate monthly. Build a support group.
