Today's episode is part 2 of The Positive Effects of an Unbothered Mindset!

In today’s episode, we’re diving deeper into what it really means to have an unbothered mindset — not one built on denial or coldness, but on discernment, peace, and knowing who you are in Christ. I’m talking about the kind of calm that confuses chaos and the confidence that comes from knowing you don’t have to chase every battle.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the show!

Unbothered/Submissive Mindset Notes

What is it?

-Unbothered is another word for SURRENDER

-You can only surrender when you are aware of who you are in Christ. If you don’t know your identity from GOD, satan will tell you who you are NOT

-Allow GOD to take the wheel (surrendering, laying your hands down, surrendering to Christ)

-To some it may appear that I don’t care or I am doing something behind the scenes.

-You’re called to step out in faith even though it’s scary.

-You give up a habit, attitude, or comfort zone that doesn’t align with His Word.

-You trust Him with your future, finances, health, kids, career—all of it.

How to get it?

-It was given when we said, “Yes” to Jesus.

1. Acknowledge You’re Not in Control

First, admit the truth: You’re not God. You can’t fix everything, know everything, or carry everything.

• Pray honestly: “Lord, I can’t handle this on my own. I give it to You.”
  
• Psalm 46:10 — “Be still, and know that I am God.”
  

2. Confess and Repent

Surrender means letting go of sin, pride, or anything that’s blocking your connection with Him.

• Tell God the truth. He already knows, but confession sets you free.
  
• 1 John 1:9 — “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us…”
  

3. Release Specific Areas to Him

Don’t just say, “Lord, I surrender all.” Be specific.

• “I surrender my job.”
  
• “I surrender my relationship.”
  
• “I surrender my anger, my fear, my kids…”
  

Literally name it. Lay it down in prayer.

4. Pray Daily for His Will Over Yours

Jesus prayed: “Not my will, but Yours be done.” (Luke 22:42)

• Start your day: “Lord, guide my steps. Close the doors I shouldn’t walk through. Open the ones You have for me.”
  

5. Obey Even When It’s Hard

Surrender isn’t just a feeling—it’s action.

• If God tells you to leave a toxic relationship…leave.
  
• If He prompts you to give, forgive, speak up, stay quiet—do it.
  
• John 14:15 — “If you love me, keep my commands.”
  

6. Trust His Timing

Surrender means you’re letting God handle not only how things happen—but when.

• Isaiah 55:8-9 — “For my thoughts are not your thoughts…”
  

7. Rest in His Peace

When you surrender, you can finally rest because you’re not carrying the weight alone.

• Philippians 4:6-7 — “…the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
• 
  

How to implement it?

• -For me it was when I became tired of myself.
• -It wasn’t from a book, Devotional or a Video
• -I began to really understand that I do not control anything or anyone…not even myself
• -I had zero control and I had nothing left.
• -I allowed GOD to not just take me through, but to fight the battle for me
  

Scripture Reference:

Here’s the tough truth: Surrender doesn’t always feel good at first. Your flesh will fight it. But that’s why Jesus said:

“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” (Luke 9:23)

That’s the place where real love, real purpose, and real unbothered peace begin.
