Monday Mindset: Letting Go of the Race - No More Rushing

Monday Mindset: Letting Go of the Race - No More Rushing

April 20, 20261 min read

There is so much pressure in the world to move faster, to do more, to BE more, to make more, to keep up…

It CAN feel like we’re always behind, always trying to catch up, always racing towards something…
Let’s face it, allowing ourselves to get caught up in ‘this race’ is actually a CHOICE.


What if we begin EACH DAY with a practice of SURRENDER?
SURRENDER ‘the race’ and all the feelings that ‘the race’ stirs up. Ask Him to keep us present, grateful, and in conversation with Him throughout ‘that day.’
What if we did this each day moving forward?
***However, this too is a choice.

Life is not a sprint. It’s a journey — a one day at a time journey with PURPOSE and MEANING.

SURRENDERING the race doesn’t mean we stop showing up. It means we slow down and walk with Him in trust and in His strength.

Your path, your story, your day-to-day, your timing is YOURS.
Remember, you matter, your story matters, and God loves you very much.

Breathe. Slow down. Give ‘it’ to Him. TRUST!!!

With grateful heart, love and prayers,
Carroll 💙
