Today’s A New Day

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Today’s a new day—a fresh start. It’s an opportunity to do things better than I did yesterday. Today, I will be kind to myself, and I will give myself grace and space to be human…because I am human.☺️

On another note…

I will be changing my posting schedule to allow for a few more hours of sleep. For years, my most productive time has been early morning, so my current schedule worked. However, now that I have more activities scheduled throughout the day, I must make sure I have enough energy and rest to accomplish them. I’m not as young as I used to be (I’m just facing the facts) and need to adjust accordingly. I must be able to perform at my best at all times. No half-stepping!

Well, this is all I have for now. Thank you for reading. I’m not sure what my new posting schedule will look like, just know that there will always be a “Good Morning” post because I love good mornings.

Love you!♥️

Good Night (31)

Shaun Bradford

“When you need to rest, rest. Rest before your body forces you to rest.” That’s the advice I give others.

Why is it so much easier to give advice than to take it? A few months ago, I was supposed to start going to bed earlier (before 11:00 PM) and logging off social media at least 30 minutes prior, but I only did it for a few days. Well, starting today, and I am so serious, I am taking my own advice about getting more sleep and rest. I have to take better care of myself. Oh…and my son agrees. He just came into my room and told me I needed to put my phone down and go to sleep. Laughing. If no one else will hold me accountable, he surely will.

Good night, y’all! I got this! Longevity and great health is the name of this game. I plan to be here for several more decades and be healthy.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Be Kind To Yourself

Shaun Bradford

A little bit of kindness goes a long way. Have you been kind to yourself lately?

Remember to be kind and gentle with yourself. Nothing in life ever remains the same. You are growing and evolving like everyone else and deserve just as much grace. So please, be kind to yourself.♥️

Love you always,

My Journey With God, No. 30

Shaun Bradford

Was feeling some kind of way for not feeling bad about a situation. Was beginning to think I was being heartless. Even stopped what I was doing to check myself. Decided to read a past journal entry written on this day and the message I needed was right there as plain as day!

Here’s what I wrote on December 2, 2017—

“The lesson I learned is never fight more for someone than they are willing to fight for themselves. NEVER!”

On that particular day, I was putting my career on the line for someone who didn’t even want to work with us. I assumed he was being treated unfairly. Come to find out he was doing the bare minimum and couldn’t wait to leave.

Sometimes when people aren’t fighting for themselves it’s not because they don’t know how, sometimes it’s because they don’t want to. Do what you can, then step back and let them continue on their own. If they want to succeed, believe me, they will.♥️

Your Health Matters

Shaun Bradford
Your health matters.

I know it’s Thanksgiving and most aren’t thinking about health or healthy anything; however, your health still matters. Not only am I speaking about physical health, but mental and emotional health as well. Be mindful of what you put in your body (enjoy, but eat in moderation) and who you allow in your space (separate yourself from people and things that causes you stress). Prioritizing your health is of utmost importance.

That’s all. Carry on with your wonderful day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
