Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: “Not judging others is a way of letting go of fear and opening the door to love.” Please don’t judge people. You really don’t know what it took for someone to get out of bed, look and feel presentable as possible, and face the day. You never truly know the daily struggles of others. Your job is not to judge. Your job is NOT to figure out if someone deserves something.  We are all h...

Morning Mantra: “If you are brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello.” When a door closes, knock on it a few times. But if it still doesn’t open, let it stay closed.  In your career, in love, in LIFE-when you see the period at the end of the sentence, don’t try and turn it into a comma.  Know when something is over and move on. #BeBrave #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #M...

Morning Mantra: “It’s Okay to be different.” What sets you apart is your superpower- no one else has the same thing! No one else has the same personality, looks, talents, skills, energy, emotions, or gifts. What a boring world it would be if we were all the same. Don’t hide trying to blend in, the world NEEDS exactly what only YOU can offer. Be bold enough to be who you really are. Live your life...

Morning Mantra: "Failure is not the opposite of success, it is part of the process." If you think you've failed, never give up because  F.A.I.L. stands for First Attempt In Learning. The end is not the end unless you give up, in fact E.N.D. stands for Effort Never Dies. And, if you get "no" for an answer, just remember, N.O. stands for Next Opportunity. It's all in th...

Morning Mantra: “My Dear, You are made of fire. Make sure to surround yourself with those who offer kindling rather than water.” The people you hang out with today are shaping the person you will be tomorrow. Make sure they are supportive, make you feel heard, believe in your goals, and who you wouldn’t hesitate to call in the middle of the night when you are feeling alone. Stay away from people w...

Morning Mantra: "You being you, is a gift to every single person in the world." You will never make anyone else's life better by agreeing to not be yourself.   It may seem so on the outside, but every soul in the Universe is invested in every other soul living in line with their truth. So anyone asking, or requiring, you to live in opposition to your essence, to who you really are,...

Morning Mantra: “Growth is stepping over things you used to trip on.” The surest way to live your best life is to be willing to continuously grow. The way that you grow is to be willing to change. The way that you change is to be willing to learn. The way you learn is to be willing to try. And the way you try is to be vulnerable and willing to make a mistake. Go ahead, get growing. #BeWillingToGro...

Morning Mantra: “Remembering a wrong is like carrying a burden on the mind.” We all make mistakes. It’s in our nature as humans to fail, whether it’s in our work environment, or our family life. We are all doomed to disappoint ourselves at some point, but that doesn’t mean we have to succumb to self-deprecation.  Living with a mistake is difficult, and learning to forgive yourself afterwards is ev...

Morning Mantra: "Don't miss the sun today worrying about the rain tomorrow." Why fill your thoughts with worry? Does it ever change the outcome? No, it only ruins the day you are in. It only wears you out with nothing to show for it. It's like sitting in a rocking chair- it gives you something to do but it doesn't get you anywhere. Utilize that energy in a more productive...

Morning Mantra: “Little wins pave the way for bigger wins.” Can’t do all the dishes? Do a dish. Can’t clean the whole house? Clean a room. Can’t get in the shower? Wash your face. Can’t walk a mile? Walk a block. Always look for the thing you CAN do with the energy and focus you DO have. 1% is better than 0%. #BeWillingToDoWhatYouCan #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsT...

Morning Mantra: "Live the life you want to be remembered for." Today is a holiday about remembering.  Remembering the men and women who got up in the morning and laced their boots to face an uncertain fate. Their bravery allows us to choose the life we want to live. Can we live by their example and live a life worth remembering? A life filled with gratitude for this gift of freedom to ch...

Morning Mantra: “Some people find fault like there is a reward for it.” Finding fault with someone is easy. What is more difficult is to look for the good in them when they make mistakes, are different than you, or behave in a way you disapprove of. We all have things we do or say that could be seen as weeds in our life, yet we all also have flowers. Loving others (which is our greatest journey on...

Morning Mantra: “You are only as happy as you decide to be.” Happiness already exists in your life; all you have to do is tune it to it. Start by finding what brings you joy and doing more of that.  Clear your mind of negative self-talk because your thoughts create your reality. Be around things and people that lift your spirit and bring out the best in you, not the stress in you. Being happy does...

Morning Mantra: "Doing what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness." Nobody ever figures out what life is all about. And it doesn't matter. Life is absolutely amazing if you follow your heart and do the things you love. Fall in love with something then do it with passion. Nearly everything can be really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Explore the world- ev...

Morning Mantra: “And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” Life is simply amazing. We get to learn how to love ourselves and one another for the strange, messy, and magical creatures we are. We get to participate with your whole heart in whatever moment life brings. We learn to lean into the unfolding process and have the courage to not need all the...

Morning Mantra: "Focus on your own voice, it's the only one that matters." You know yourself better than anyone else, yet you crumble at the words of someone who hasn't lived one second of your life. Sometimes you've got to ignore the critics, just listen to yourself, and be okay with no one else understanding. You have all this useful knowledge and wisdom within you, it&a...

Morning Mantra: "You are not defined by your past; you are prepared by it." Everything you've gone through deposited something on the inside. You've had both positive and negative experiences and you will continue to because that. is. life. You can decide if you want to hold onto the negative experiences and let them limit you. Make you fearful, stressed, or a victim. Or you ca...

Morning Mantra: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.” Your life is shaped by your thoughts. Your ability to achieve a goal begins with the thought that you are capable of reaching it. If you believe that you can, you will take action that will lead you to it. Just as true is if you think you are NOT capable. If you think about all that is “wrong” with you, and the reas...

Morning Mantra: "Sit with it. Sit with it. Sit with it. Healing happens through feeling it." Learn to sit with that fear or anxiety you are feeling. Breathe through it. Visualize the best possible outcome. Underneath those difficult feelings is your light, your power, your ability to get to the other side of it. Don't push it away or pretend it's not there, or numb it. Sit with...

Morning Mantra: “Never confuse a mistake with a choice. A mistake wasn’t meant to hurt you, a choice was.” Sometimes people make a mistake, and it hurts you, and sometimes people make a choice KNOWING it will. Intention matters.  Usually when they make a choice to hurt you, they don’t believe they were wrong, and they might even apologize. If an apology includes the word “But” then it’s NOT an apo...

Morning Mantra: “It’s okay to cry, the clouds rain too when things get heavy.” Being strong does not mean never showing emotion. True strength does not happen without healing, and healing doesn’t happen without feeling things. Emotions are a good guiding system to what is going on inside of you.  The trick is to develop emotional intelligence, not to just be reactive.  Emotional intelligence is yo...

Morning Mantra: "You can't litter negativity everywhere you go, then wonder why you have a trashy life." You reap what you sow. If you put negativity out there, that's what will come back to you. So don't act so surprised when it does. Being positive doesn't mean you'll never feel negative or have negative things happen, it means you will recognize it and overcom...

Morning Mantra: "Making mistakes is better than faking perfection." Don’t hide from your mistakes or pretend they didn’t happen.  Own them, embrace them, celebrate them, learn from them and get better because of what you take from them. When you discover a mistake, you’ve found a path for improvement, for growth.  When you admit your mistakes and deal with them in a positive way, it offe...

Morning Mantra: “When you accept yourself, you free yourself from the burden of needing others to accept you.” Accept yourself as you are. It sounds simple but it's one of the most difficult things to do because it goes against your natural instinct as a human-which is to compare and find fault.  It goes against the marketing you are exposed to every day- which tells us over and over that we...

Morning Mantra: “When you look back at your life, see lessons, not regrets." If you look back and can’t believe all the stuff that you used to put up with, don’t get mad or upset. It’s actually a great sign.  It means your self-worth has improved. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even realize there was anything wrong with it.  Reflect back to learn, but don’t dwell. Keep the focus on your self-care an...
