It seems like a long time since I sent out the 5 Minute Life Coach. I've been moved by your pleas to hear from me more often so I'm working on ideas of how to serve you better. I have lots of inspiring thoughts and I'm excited about the possibilities that the remainder of 2012 holds for us.

To help you stay focused I'll be in touch more regularly with bite-sized tips and strategies to help you overcome overwhelm, and live life with more ease and joy, and with more purpose.

I'll be 58 on Friday! At this time of year I always pause to reflect on my life, what I've achieved, what I've left undone, and what's important for the coming year.

I was asking the Lord what He wanted me to do and where He wanted me to focus my time and energies when I received an email from Dr Joseph Peck. His email was a stark reminder of what the Lord said to me at the end of 2010, and my initial response was to be sad that I had lost my way and dropped the ball. But now I'm just glad that the Lord used Joseph to gently get me back on track and I'm picking up the baton.

Father reminded me to

Keep on dreaming, dream with Me and dare to do what you once thought to be impossible, nothing is impossible with me. I AM the God of infinite possibilities. Partner with Me and allow My Holy Spirit to lead you and show you the way. Know that you CAN do what I have called you to do. When I call I also equip and you are well equipped.

You'll find the post here What do you want me to know today Father?

Maybe the Lord will use it to encourage YOU to take hold of your big dream and dare to reach for more.

You are capable of more than you think you are. You are capable of accomplishing important things with less stress and more ease than you currently think possible.

If you are overwhelmed you can untangle situations, experience less stress, DO less and get better results. How? Not by working harder, by taking simple, do-able steps that work for you and the way you live your life.

You'll find life works better when you begin your day by asking Father to help you plan your day.

I strongly encourage you to spend some time reflecting on the last twelve months and thinking about what you want to achieve in the NEXT twelve months.

Do encourage yourself by remembering and focusing on what you HAVE achieved, and don't underestimate what can happen in twelve months when you have God's plan and live life on purpose.

I know that some of you will find it much easier to see what you didn't accomplish in the last 12 months. Please don't stop there, don't get stuck in regrets. Just take note, decide that the next twelve months will be different, and take steps to make sure they are.

I encourage you to set time aside to reflect.

Make a list; include everything that you accomplished, everything! Include anything you survived or overcame, note where you spent most of your time and energy. You might be surprised at what you find once you start remembering and taking notice.

When I review my year, I find areas of growth and change that have become so much a part of my life that I've stopped noticing them. New habits, new daily patterns, new groups of people, new ways of eating, remember to add them all to your list of accomplishments!

For me, there are things that are still not finished BUT there are also significant things that I had no idea that I'd be doing this time last year.

In January I began to train people just like you to become more effective people helpers by training as life coaches.

The next training starts in September, if you would like to be better equipped to serve people you'll find details here Coach Training

I never dreamed that would be happening at the beginning of 2011, but by the end of 2011 I was gathering my first trainees.

Remember the positive changes you've maintained over the past year. Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to keep things up. Have you kept weight off, maintained good relationships, stuck with regular practice or regular times with God? These accomplishments count too.

I know some things will have changed and that you will have done things you forgot about. If you're anything like me, you've probably accomplished major things that weren't on the radar twelve months ago.

Take time to remember, ask the Holy Spirit to remind you.

Knowing what you are capable of and being aware of what you have done, maintained, endured or survived can be a great source of encouragement and give you confidence to believe YOU CAN as you set your focus for the next year.

I hope you are encouraged.

Here's what one of my students had to say about the training:

I completed the program in April 2012 and feel equipped to begin a Christian Coaching practice. The materials are very thorough, and the program is paced nicely. I did the convenient individual sessions which worked best for my schedule. For the money, I got quality time with Lynne per week, inspiring audio and web training, and support resources -- such as client questionnaires and sample contracts for my practice.

The icing on the cake was the marketing resources, and the professional contacts that Lynne recommended as continued education. Lynne is a great mentor, as she herself is a successful coach and business person, and honorable woman of God. I highly recommend Lynne Lee and Breakthrough Academy to any Christian interested in becoming a life coach. Debbie USA
