Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: “Don’t let people that don’t deserve your attention continue to bring you down.” Don’t worry about what people think of you or about the way they try to make you feel. If people want to see you as a good person, they will. If they want to see you as a bad person, absolutely nothing you can do will stop them.  Ironically, the more you try to show them your good intentions, the more...

Morning Mantra: “The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is telling you to be someone else.” Stop apologizing.  You don’t have to say sorry for how you laugh, how you dress, how you style your hair, how you do your make up, how you speak.  You don’t have to be sorry for being yourself. Do it fearlessly. It’s time to accept that this is you, and you have to spend the rest...

Morning Mantra: “It’s all about balance and balance requires awareness.” Your entire life depends on balance.  When one task takes too much of your time, you’ll suffer. When a responsibility becomes a chore, you’ll suffer. When the energy vampires require too much of you, you’ll suffer.  Always stay grounded and true to what brings you joy and fills your spirit with harmony and make sure to find t...

Morning Mantra: “Big journeys begin with small steps.” Change is hard. Change is uncomfortable. The uncertainty makes it even more difficult. But staying where you are can be worse.  Get comfortable being uncomfortable.  Get confident being uncertain.  You should not give up just because something is hard, pushing through challenges is what makes you grow. It gives you strength to keep pushing thr...

Morning Mantra: “Be patient with all things, but first with yourself.” Whatever you’re feeling, be good to yourself. If you feel lost, be patient with yourself while you find your way. If you feel scared, be gentle with yourself while you find the strength to face your fear. If you feel hurt, be kind to yourself while you grieve and slowly heal.  You can’t bully yourself into clarity, courage, or...

Morning Mantra: “Allow joy to be your compass.” While you cannot always predict what the next chapter of life will bring, or what it will look or feel like, but you can count on this. Things will not always stay the same, they must evolve.  Meaning, your circumstances are always going to be changing. And, if you want to make the next chapter better despite the circumstances, you must allow joy to...

Morning Mantra: “Just be nice. It’s that simple.” No one really knows what someone else is going through. Or how they are feeling inside.  That snippy waitress might be preparing for her last day with a loved one.  Someone else might have just lost their job. Your stand-offish co-worker might be dealing with a troubled marriage. That guy that didn’t see that the light had turned green might be spa...

Morning Mantra: “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive.” Every day is full of choices.  When you wake up each morning, take a moment to think about the kind of day and life you want to have. Consciously choose to have a happy life.  One that is filled with love, laughter, good health, and joy. Then begin your day focused on the things you can do to make this your reality. This...

Morning Mantra: “Your path is illuminated by the light, yet it is the darkness that makes it shine so bright.” The point of life isn’t to constantly chase your happily ever after, nor is it to make your heart so hard that nothing can break it.  The point is to learn to rise up from the ashes every time you get burned, to keep going. Your character, when you hit rock bottom, reveals a lot about who...

Morning Mantra: “What you think about you bring about.” Have you ever wondered why things go better for some people and others seem to constantly have “bad luck”? The universe responds to your frequency. It doesn’t recognize your personal desires, wants, or needs. It only understands the frequency in which you’re vibing at. If you’re living in fear, guilt, or shame, or any lower/negative frequency...

Morning Mantra: “Life is too short to waste time on anything that doesn’t make you happy.” Valuing your time can only come after you realize you spent some of it in a place that wasn’t right for you, or with people that wasted it. Facing backwards, you could regret it for the rest of your life.  But facing forward, you realize you still have the rest of your life to live wiser than ever before. Th...

Morning Mantra: “Let your dreams be your wings.” On the days where doubts are creeping in, remember, you are your power. You’re worth everything you’re working towards and you’re capable of reaching the dreams that feel like they’re beyond the stars right now.  It’s only a matter of time until you look back and thank yourself for not settling, for not giving up, and for treating yourself with resp...

Morning Mantra: “Whatever life brings, always look for glimmers of gratitude.” Have you ever heard of a “glimmer”? A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger.  Glimmers are those moments in your day that make you feel joy, happiness, peace, or gratitude. Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for glimmers, these tiny moments will appear more and more. A glimmer can shift your darkness to light...

Morning Mantra: “Life experience is the best teacher.” You will find a new piece of yourself in every experience. Each day, with each choice, you are either reaffirming who you are, or introducing a new part you discovered.  Growth, joy, and love are things you must choose to welcome into your life. You must also choose to close the door on shame, guilt, jealousy, fear and pride. The quality of yo...

Morning Mantra: “Everyone you meet has something to teach you about yourself.” The road to self-discovery requires help from others. There is a purpose for everyone you meet. They can act as mirrors and reflect back to you the things that you like about yourself, or they can reveal the things that need some work. Some people will test you, some will use you, some will bring out the best in you. Bu...

Morning Mantra: “Listen to yourself not the noise of the world. Only you know what is good for you.” Listen to yourself.  If your body is telling you to avoid certain foods and eat more fruits and veggies, do it.  If your gut feeling is telling you to distance yourself from certain people and get closer to those who have a more positive vibe, do it.  If your heart is telling you to travel, start a...

Morning Mantra: “You cannot keep doing the same things and expect different results.” Sometimes you have to take a step back, take stock of your life, and recognize what isn’t serving you.  It might be a relationship that causes you nothing but heartache, a pattern of behavior that sets you up for disappointment or failure, or even just a refusal to accept reality for what it is.  Whatever it is t...

Morning Mantra: “Say what you mean, mean what you say.” You can say you’re sorry a million times.  You can say I love you as much as you want.  You can say whatever you want, whenever you want to. But if you’re not going to prove the things that you say are true, then don’t say anything at all. Because if your actions don’t show it, your words don’t mean a thing.   An important lesson we must lear...

Morning Mantra: “Leave the past behind so the future can find you.” There is a reason that the rearview mirror is so small, and the windshield is so big. Where you are headed is much more important than where you’ve been.  So, focus your energy and attention on the future, not on what happened to you in the past. The only way to get over the past is to leave it behind.  If you spend your time re-l...

Morning Mantra: “At the center of your being you have the answer to who you are and what you want.” Life isn’t about creating a new you, it’s more about re-discovering who you really are.  Who you are at your core.  Who you are once you strip away all the conditioning and grooming you received from your family, society, school, coaches, marketing and now, from social media. Who you are is your gif...

Morning Mantra: “Go with the flow. Force nothing. Trust that whichever way it goes is for the best.” One of the most important lessons you can learn is to not force anything; conversations, friendships, relationships, attention, love.  Anything forced is just not worth the energy. Focus your energy on what flows to you. Of course, you need to do your best but then adopt a “whatever happens, happen...

Morning Mantra: “If you are feeling overwhelmed because you have too much to do, it’s time to simply your life and focus on what matters.” You’re holding onto too many bags. And those bags are weighing you down. You can’t carry it at all. So just carry what’s important. You can’t do it all. So just do what you can.  You can’t be it all. So just be what you can. You can’t serve from an empty cup. ...

Morning Mantra: “Life is a series of lessons that must be lived to be learned.” In life, we do things. Some we wish we had never done. Some we wish we could replay 1 million times in our head. They all make us who we are. And in the end they shape every detail about us.  So just live. Make mistakes. Have wonderful memories. But never ever second-guess who you are, where you have been, and most imp...

Morning Mantra: “Be picky about the energy you surround yourself with, you’re worth it.” Some people will improve your life by being in it.  Other people will improve your life by staying out.  It’s up to you to protect your energy and surround yourself with people that lift you up, that bring out the best in you, that will be honest with their feelings and intentions.  Surround yourself with peop...

Morning Mantra: “When we align with our soul we find peace, purpose, and our power.” Life is about leveling up to your purpose. It’s letting go of anything that doesn’t align with your purpose.  Fear doesn’t align. Doubt doesn’t align. Greed doesn’t align.  Being broke doesn’t align with your purpose.  Living a small life doesn’t align. Shame doesn’t align.  Regrets don’t align with your purpose. ...
