This week's call is for you to answer ONE QUESTION: What is the ONE LITTE CHANGE that you made that has given you the biggest result. Was it physical, emotional, spiritual, relational, educational, vocational or something else?
For me, I've held onto a number of dreams that won't go away and though I still cannot see the "big result" (such as a TV show), I have (for example) written an free blog Little Changes Big Results each week for 52 weeks with healthy tips (this week is about 3 Rez Busters) for the day when I will have to research and write material for my own show! I've also worked toward "trademarking" the LCBR brand, which has required working with a lawyer and submitting specimens to the USTPO over a 12 month period--and the result? I own the trademark to Little Changes Big Results for publishing, radio and tv--woo hoo! (Now they just need a home!)
By the way, I will be guest hosting on a SO CAL radio station--KBRT 740 am--so call in or go online and listen on Tuesday January 4th! I will be talking about Becoming a Healthy American Woman--guest hosting for 2 hours (by myself!) between 3 and 5 pm. Join me, won't you? (Move over DR. LAURA!)
I trust the LCBR Year One series has given you continued growth in your life! I look forward to the 2 new 2011 series and to staying in touch with you! Please visit CYL Daily regularly or call Reggie at the office at 800.444.6189 if you need coaching or resources!
Be encouraged,
Becky

Week Twelve: MERRY Christmas!
THIS is such a special week! As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, my hope for each of you is to open your heart--in new ways--to God's presence and open your ears to His voice. He wants to meet you personally, to give you hope, to heal your hurts, to hold you close. Don't miss the powerful, life-changing presence of God in every Christmas hymn or Gospel reading this week! Soak it up. Take it in. Hold onto it.
Over and over, I am reminded--especially by my friends who are living through difficult situations (spouses with cancer, loss of loved ones, job loss, or children who are experiencing setback)--that those who maintain a disciplined rhythm of life also experience a great deal of God's peace and presence. Let me explain...
PRAY: Those who are suffering tell me that by holding onto to time alone with God, they find the courage and strength to get through the most difficult of times. Very often, I receive emails or calls from people telling me that the habit they previously built (of talking and listening to God daily) during easier days and more normal times became their foundation during the difficult times. We never what tomorrow holds, but we know who holds it, yes? Never let busyness steal away alone time with God.
PLAN: Believe it or not, I was a major procrastinator for the first half of my life! Only after I began to pray one hour a day, did I start to change my sanguine personality weaknesses (tardiness, procrastination, inability to finish a project, anxious over-eating, etc.). It's true! I had never written a book, finished my college degree, or kept weight off UNTIL I began to pray--but once I got alone with God, He began to harness my temperament, appetite, and turn my dreams into goals with deadlines. If God could do this for me, He can do this for anyone! One day at time, God's plan will come through your time alone with Him--and you will get your "marching orders!" Turn your marching orders into TO-DO's and you are on your way to a new life!
PLAY: Exercise releases endorphines. Exercise reduces stress. Exercise burns excess fat and calories. Exercise improves our cardiovascular system. Exercise is known to fight against disease!!!!!!! Exercise--even walking 10 minutes twice a day--is beneficial to your overall health: better sleep, healthy weight, lower cholesterol, and heart and bone health. It has been reported that most people gain 2-5 pounds between Christmas and the New Year and never lose it. Be intentional about regular exercise every week of the year, especially during the holidays!!!
You are loved!

Becky

Week Eleven: OH HOW I WANT YOU TO FLY!
My personal commitment to Pray, Plan, Pray has lasted over 26 years (with a commitment to 60 minutes of Prayer each day, 20 minutes of Planning each day, and 140 minutes of play each week)--it is a lifestyle of balance, longevity, intention, and growth. I suggest this system because I know it works! Therefore, the 5 to 10 to 20 minutes of Pray, Plan, Play was intended to give you success as you developed the habit of (in essence) the 8 Daily To-Do's!
In the final two weeks of this year's Little Changes Big Results Coaching Series, I want to encourage you to fly!
Do not hold back.
Do not accept or give excuses.
Do not compare.
Do not take "no," for an answer (maybe "not now," but not "no").
Do not listen to the wrong voices or believe the lies.
Do not give up no matter how many times/tries it will take to reach your goals.
Do not underestimate your ability to influence the lives of everyone your life touches!
Please, have your own "come to Jesus" moment this week and determine to lead a life of balance, longevity (God willing), intention and growth! Yes and Amen?
Be encouraged,
Becky

Week Ten: What do you need to do...
This week--near the end of the year and end of the quarter--it is time to ask yourself, "What do I need to do to follow through." A good reporter will ask and then answer, in order to provide his or her readers with the most succinct information, these questions:
"Who, what, when, where, why..."
This is your assignment this week, as you continue building a lifestyle of "Pray 20, Plan 20, and Play 20," to ask yourself these questions, like a good reporter.
1. Who can help me reach my goals...who can keep me accountable? THIS IS HUGE!
2. Get to the bottom of what you need to do to RIGHT NOW and in 2011 to become healthier, more focused, less stressed, become more content, etc.) WRITE a statement or make a bullet list and post them in your Bible or Prayer Notebook and make them prayer requests!
3. Determine exactly how long it is going to take to accomplish the desires of your heart. Then decide when you will take the first, second, third, fourth, and/or multiple steps it will take to accomplish your goal(s). (Time waits for you; it's not going anywhere!)
4. Where do I most often "fall off the wagon?" Is it with certain people, at certain times of the day, etc. Make every effort, whenever possible, to avoid those things, people, or places that keep you from being healthy and whole.
5 Why do you want to change? Write out a statement of conviction.
Let's ALL do this! As our year/quarter comes to a close, I look forward to hearing from each of you, at least ONE of the answers to the above questions! OKAY?
Be encouraged,
Becky
