Overthinking

Shaun Bradford

I needed this reminder today because that is exactly what I have been doing lately—overthinking. Last night I told my daughter that I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t turn my mind off. Seems like I have been trying to solve everyone’s problems lately, and none are directly mine. Yesterday, I could feel my body changing. I had become so stressed and tense. Had to force myself to do something other than work or think. Decided to put down my phone and watch “Annie,” the Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhané Wallis one. I needed that bit of relief. I’m promising myself to do better today.♥️ ~Shaun

Facebook Memory: March 12, 2019

Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. I’m always thinking… often overthinking. Always trying to figure things out or solve a problem. Life is a mystery. We cannot predict what will happen next. We can only assume what will happen. Very few things in my life, have happened as expected. Honestly, I don’t believe anything has ever gone exactly as planned or imagined. So, today, I plan to stop overthinking and just let go. Totally trusting God.

Praying and trusting God to do His job because it’s not on me to do. I must remember my place. God’s got everyone I am concerned about. Trusting Him.🙏🏽

Stop Running

Shaun Bradford

Here’s one of my Facebook Memories from a year ago.

Facebook Memory: March 8, 2023

It’s not even mid-morning and I have a message:

Stop running from what you’re called to do and where you are called to be. God will equip you with everything you need when you need it. Trust Him.♥️

Well…

It’s time to stop running. You already know what you are called to do. Time to do it!

Don’t worry. God’s got you.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Hope, Part 2

Shaun Bradford
You have come too far to give up now. Remain hopeful.

Sometimes when I share, I share my thoughts as I am processing them, or as they are revealed to me. Yesterday, I had one of my “aha” moments about what I truly desired to achieve, not physically but spiritually. It wasn’t until I shared my message about hope on YouTube that I was able to put into words what that actually meant. Here’s what I shared:

“I have decided to build my foundation on hope. Not only hope for myself, but hope for others. It’s my desire to see a more hopeful world. I pray that I inspire others to remain hopeful through everything I do. Whether that’s through my posts, random encounters, or nutrition sessions and cooking demos. I must do my part to keep hope alive. The light is dimming. We cannot afford to let it go out.”

Please join me in keeping hope alive. Love you!♥️

Small Blessings

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: March 5, 2023

I have discovered it’s not the big, glorious things that make life so interesting. It’s the small things leading to the big ones that are so remarkable and rewarding!

Be mindful of the small blessings.♥️

Take nothing for granted.

That was the caption I used when I shared that date’s Hello Sunday.

Hello Sunday

Praying you enjoy your day, and remember the small blessings.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Never Give Up

Shaun Bradford

Here’s today’s Facebook memory from my Nutrition with LaShaundreaB page:

Y’all, I needed to see this memory today. Earlier, I saw where Tabitha Brown had shared a couple of posts from years ago, years before she became well known. One of her messages was, “Never stop DREAMING!!” She shared it on March 1, 2011, thirteen years ago!

As I said, I needed to see this memory today. Y’all, I haven’t shared any food pictures or made any cooking videos in months. Honestly, I had decided to let that dream go. I felt like it was taking too much time and focus away from things that I should have been focusing on. Same with drawing. Whew. I have so many decisions to make. Do I follow my passions now, or put them off until later? I really wish I was superwoman and could do it all. Life…

Here’s the video that I had made showing me preparing the salad. I had shared it as a Facebook reel, but for some reason the link won’t work on here. And for some crazy reason I didn’t share it on Instagram. Anyhoo…here’s the YouTube short.

March 2, 2023

Yeah… I definitely needed to see this today. God is so good. As Tabitha said all those years ago, we should never stop dreaming. She didn’t and now she’s living in hers.

When I tell you Year50 is doing a number on me! But it is what I asked for, right? If I want the next 50+ to be different, I have to do something different. Which means I have to focus on what I desire the next 50 years to be like, and can’t continue doing what was comfortable the last 50.

Okay, that’s all. Just felt like sharing.

Keep going! It will happen!!♥️
