So a friend of mine who created Vocaboly vocabulary software has a new self help page at his site. In general, I think the most important way to help yourself is to set goals. I've written down short and long-term goals and that makes me committed to them. I think that has helped me get up from in front of the TV (numerous times) and go do some work that would help me achieve the goals I've set for myself.
Next in importance for me comes health and fitness. I just got a little Macmillan book with their words of the year. One of them was healthspan. Think lifespan, but shorter. Your healthspan are the years you're healthy. Have more healthy years.
Of course, English teachers have to consider career and financial success. Ours isn't exactly a get rich profession, so we need to make something happen in that regard by starting businesses, investing, etc.
