Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "Save your emotions for someone who values and understands your heart." Find someone who is sure of you. So sure that he or she will stay while you find your way into being the best version of yourself. They choose love over imperfection and growth over over past mistakes. They will love you, especially on your hardest days. Real love means having a partner who supports your growth and stands by you through every season. Choose someone who sees your potential even on your di...

Morning Mantra: "I love and show up As I Am." Our level of belonging can only be as deep as our level of self acceptance, because true belonging can only happen when we present our authentic, imperfect self to the world. When we judge ourselves and others we cannot accept them as they are. To understand this go into a forest and look at the trees. Some are tall, some are thick, some are pines and some are not. But never do you look at a tree and judge it for it's differences. No...

Morning Mantra: “Until you know your options you will continue to feel stuck.” When you only see one possible path forward, you limit your chance of success. Rather than complaining about the situation, or worrying about possible failure, give yourself more options. Take inventory and ask yourself what options do you currently have? Then consider, what new options could you develop? Are there other ways to get to your goal? Ask your friends, your family or a trusted mentor to he...

Morning Mantra: "How your life feels is more important than how it looks." You know it when it feels right. It just fits. With who you really are. Trying to appear a certain way to impress others, or because you think you need to, will never feel right. Even if you manage for it to look perfect, if you don't feel loved, honored, valued, and heard, you will not be able to sustain it. You have to FEEL it to believe it. #BeAbleToFeelGoodAboutYourLife #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #Horse...

Morning Mantra: “Everyone has inside them a piece of good news.” If we depend on the printed headline for our view of the world it can be quite upsetting and discouraging. There is a saying in the media, “If it bleeds it leads.” And when you read the news it’s easy to see that they believe this. I’d rather not let them tell me how to view the world, how people are treating each other, and what the future of humanity is. Today I will write my own headlines from my own life...

Morning Mantra: "Be more committed to your goals than you are to your excuses." If you really want something, you will make it happen instead of making excuses for why it won't. It all starts with your mindset. This is big for me. If I don't set my mind to it, I will quit. You have to be ready to do the hard work that it takes. You might start the process but you won't finish unless you are truly committed. We quit because we THINK it's easier. But living with the knowled...

Morning Mantra: "I am exactly where I am meant to be in life and I am going in the right direction." The Universe is always giving you experiences and situations that you need to grow, to heal, and to evolve. Everything about you is connected. Your gifts. Your circumstances. Your purpose. Your imperfections. Your journey. Your destiny. Your relationships. Your energy. It's molding you. To realize that everything is connected is to both accept our insignificance and to understand our i...

Morning Mantra: “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it.” You are not stuck. You have choices. You can choose to focus on the suffering and you will feel sad and weighed down. Or you can look for the stories of people that have overcome their circumstances. You can rise up from anything. You can completely re-create yourself. You can think new thoughts. You can learn something new. You can create new habits. You can be inspired and ...

Morning Mantra: "I will be honest with myself" Doing what's needed is not easy because facing what's wrong takes honesty. Facing the hurt. Facing the truth. Facing the disappointment. Facing the fear. Facing the changes needed. All of these require you to dig deep, do the work, and be honest with yourself. Face your shadows and set yourself free. You have the key. #BeWillingToDoTheWork #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMo...

Morning Mantra: “The only thing permanent is change.” Nothing is permanent. Not your feelings, not your pain, not your opinions, not your challenges, not your relationships, not the state of the world, not your financial situation, not your beliefs about yourself. Everything changes. Allow yourself to remember this when you get overwhelmed, so you have hope for a better day. Recognize this when things are good, so you won’t forget to appreciate it while i...

Morning Mantra: "Anger and resentment are like embers held in the hand; they also burn the one who holds them." Maybe you think that it’s OK to hold onto resentment when life feels unfair. Or maybe like a vine growing slowly over time, these negative reactions become a habit that you don’t even realize you are doing. There can be a flickering comfort in anger or resentment. It can feel like a shield, a way to stay in control when things feel chaotic. But that warmth is fleeting. Before you ...

Morning Mantra: "When you let things slide to 'keep the peace' around you, make sure you are not ignoring the peace within you." Keeping the peace does not mean keeping secrets, walking on eggshells, pretending things are healthy when they are not, ignoring their poor choices, tip toeing around the truth, or making yourself small. Agreeing to things just to keep the peace is actually a trauma response. When you do this you are disrespecting YOUR inner peace, your boundaries, you...

Morning Mantra: "You are the creator of your own life. You are responsible for what you choose to do with it." You cannot shortcut your life. The value of your life depends on you. You cannot take it from someone else, or borrow it, or inherit it, or marry it, or just get lucky and happen upon it. You must produce it. The good news is that each day is full of incredible opportunity. Each day you have the opportunity to move yourself in the direction of your dreams, b...

Morning Mantra: "Peace is not a destination. Peace is the way." If any of you have seen the videos of the Monks on their 2,300 mile Walk For Peace, then you understand this concept. It is so inspiring to see them tackle weather extremes, traffic, health setbacks and the hours and hours of walking, with mindful peace. If they teach us anything it is that we should live each day in peace. We do this by letting go of the emotions from the ego. Fear, blame, resentment, h...

Morning Mantra: "People will love you. People will dislike you. And none of it will have anything to do with you." People think, react, behave, and care from their level of consciousness. That's all they can do. Their personal story and experiences shape they way they do all of these. They will judge others from this perspective. When they judge you it's not really about you. It's about their own insecurities, limitations and needs, so changing yourself to please them won't chan...

Morning Mantra: "Your dream doesn't have an expiration date. Take a deep breath and try again. " Try. Try again. Try once more. Try differently. Try again tomorrow. Try and ask for help. Try and find someone who's done it before. Keep trying until you succeed. Just keep trying. #BeWillingToTryAndTryAgain #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "The world needs more makers, they make the world better." Go make something today. Make a memory. Make time for yourself or others. Make art. Make someone smile. Make a ruckus. Make a story. Make a friend. Make an effort. Make music. Make a change. Make peace with yourself. Make history. Make a meal. Make love. Make a difference. The world needs more makers. They enrich our world. They make it more beautiful, more functional, more resilient and more connected. #BeAMa...

Morning Mantra: "Someday it is going to make sense" A lot of what is happening in the world right now doesn't make sense. It's not what we are used to. It's like humanity is being cracked open and the ugly is being revealed. It doesn't make sense why we are were we are. I'm certain that eventually it will, but until then... smile at the confusion, laugh through the tears, be kind to yourself, and trust the process. Because there is kindness, and lo...

Morning Mantra: "Your opinion of me is a reflection of you." Everyone has a different mental mindset that gives them a unique perspective on things, including other people. They see mostly what they want to see, for their personal views and agenda. Make peace with the fact that people hold different versions of you in their mind. Love yourself and know yourself well enough to never get caught up in their projections. Ultimately, who you know yourself to be is what matters the mo...

Morning Mantra: "Your life's course will not be determined by doing the things you are certain you can do. It will be determined by whether you try the things that are hard." It’s difficult to get back up and get going again when you’ve been repeatedly knocked down. It’s difficult, but it's not impossible. It’s difficult to move forward with enthusiasm and energy when much of what you encounter is negative and discouraging. That’s certainly difficult, but it's not impossible. It’s easy to ...
