Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: “You will never have to force things that are truly meant to be.” Today trust that just “being” is enough. Rather than making yourself crazy and tired by trying to figure out the answer, or see the big picture, or work on how it will all work out. Choose instead to focus your energy on staying present, enjoying every moment as it presents itself. Open your eyes to life, as it is, r...

Morning Mantra: “To get lost is to learn the way.” Life is a repeated cycle of getting lost and then finding yourself again. There are many smaller cycles within that cycle where you get lost to a smaller degree and remember yourself again. Sometimes you do this to yourself on purpose, consciously or unconsciously.  Every time you get lost, it is so that you can learn or experience something from...

Morning Mantra: “Beating yourself up over your mistakes doesn’t make you do better.” When you’re having a bad moment, a bad day, a bad year, you owe it to yourself to be kind to yourself. Feeling shame won’t change a thing. It will only make you hurt more and make things worse. Don’t crush your soul. Don’t break your heart.  Be gentle instead.  Remember you are learning and growing. Understand tha...

Morning Mantra: “Life is a series of tiny little miracles, notice them.” Life is meant to be more than dreams, and aspirations and busy days. Life is meant to be noticed, to be absorbed, to be treasured. Sometimes we get so caught up in trying to accomplish something big, that we fail to notice the little things that give life its magic. Notice when the sun rays sneak through the clouds, when the...

Morning Mantra: “The day I understood everything was the day I stopped trying to control everything.” The day I knew peace was the day I started to let things go, let things (aka energy) flow- through me-around me- to me. What you resist, be it the need to change, forgiving someone, what you do with your life, or whatever you are pushing back at, will keep persisting. You will waste a tremendous a...

Morning Mantra: “Whatever is good for your soul, do that.” There are ways to be in this world that lets you decide what energy you want to carry. Learn to respond not react. You are in control of your emotions when you respond. Learn to ditch expectations. Expectations are false narratives because you can only control yourself. Surround yourself with people that reflect your energy and who you wan...

Morning Mantra: “I may get knocked down, but I will always get back up." Sometimes life is going to throw something at you when you’re not looking and it’s going to hit you straight in the face without warning. It will knock you down, take your heart, and break it into a million pieces. And when that happens, you’re going to scream, and cry, and swear at the sky, and ask why, and that’s okay....

Morning Mantra: “Regretting the past is a waste of time. Let the present be your concern for building a better future.” Sometimes the life lesson of valuing your time is learned after realizing you spent some of it in a place that wasn’t right for you. Facing backwards, you could regret it for the rest of your life. Regret is counterproductive though; it’s looking back on a past that you can’t cha...

Morning Mantra: “Response-ABILITY is the ability to choose your response to any circumstance or condition.” The goal isn’t to get rid of all of your negative thoughts, feelings, and life situations. That’s impossible. The goal is to change your response to them. To grow so strong and peaceful on the inside, that nothing on the outside can affect your inner wellness without your conscious permissio...

Morning Mantra: “You cannot change the people around you, but you can change the people you choose to be around.” Your best efforts will never be enough if they are wasted on the wrong people.  Surround yourself with those that make you happy, that want to see you soar, that make you feel easy to love. #BePicky #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningM...

Morning Mantra: “Smile, breathe, go slowly.” The Universe is sending you a sign not to give up, but to slow down. To reflect on everything you have and who is there for you.  You are always finding something to do and somewhere to go, but the greatest gifts are already in your possession. Give your full attention to these moments, especially to yourself. Listen to what your mind and body needs, bu...

Morning Mantra: "Saying “Yes” to your well being means saying “No” sometimes." It may sound strange, but one of the most positive things you can do is to say “No” when necessary.  The ability to say “No” is directly related to your confidence in yourself. If you say it, don't offer reasons and excuses, you don't need one. You have to make choices, and that means saying “yes” to...

Morning Mantra: "It couldn't have happened any other way." Throw away the illusion that you could have done or said things differently in the past. Your actions were due to your state of consciousness at the time. It had to be that way. It helps to remember that we all do our best from our current level of consciousness. Shift your mind out of the past and into the present. Focus on...

Morning Mantra: “You have what it takes.” You can follow your heart. You can alter your path. You can break the mold. You can take a leap. You can free yourself from your fears. You can live a life aligned with your purpose. You can do the things you are not sure you can do. You can take the first step. You can create your future. You can have exactly what you’ve been dreaming of. You are strong e...

Morning Mantra: “I will not let anyone invalidate or minimize how I feel.” If you feel something, you feel it, and it’s real to you. Nothing anyone says has the power to invalidate that, ever.  No one else lives in your body. No one else sees life through your eyes. No one else has lived through your experiences.  And so, no one else has the right to dictate or judge how you feel.  Your feelings a...

Morning Mantra: "Risk is better than regret." The biggest risk a person can take is to do nothing. Life is all about risk; either you risk it and go for your dreams,  or you do nothing and risk regretting it forever. So do it! Take the chance! Be brave. Be curious. Allow the unexpected. Embrace the unknown. In the end we only regret the chances we didn't take. #BeARiskTaker #BeHappy...

Morning Mantra: "Work on yourself, by yourself, for yourself." Before you try and work on your relationships, make sure you are balanced and centered so you know what you want and deserve. Loving yourself changes who and what you attract. Start by forgiving yourself for your imperfections; they are your path to acceptance. Forgive others. Blame may be justified but it won't move you...

Morning Mantra: “Everything is always working out for me.” Starting today stop rushing, pushing and stressing about life. Stop worry about how or when things will work out and start truly believing that they will work out in your favor. Instead of overthinking, align your faith with divine timing and trust that everything that belongs in your life is making its way towards you right now. What we t...

Morning Mantra: “May your dreams outgrow the doubts you’ve caged them in.” Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. When you doubt yourself, you are listening to your fears. Doubt can only be removed by action, so get busy. Create a list of actionable steps you will need to take to reach that dream.  Make some of them very small and easy and some should include others to help.  Do something...

Morning Mantra: "Knowing when to walk away is wisdom. Being able to do it is courage." A lot of walking away will do your life good. Walk away from arguments that lead you to nowhere. Walk away from people who deliberately put you down. Walk away from trying to please people who never see your worth. Walk away from thoughts that undermine your peace of mind. Walk away from your mistakes...

Morning Mantra: “Stay close to people that want more FOR you than FROM you.” Some people will only “love” you as much as they can use you. As much as you benefit them. They are not your people. Sometimes people want to expose what they think is wrong with you because they can’t handle what’s right with you. They are not your people. Some people demand your time and attention as proof you care abou...

Morning Mantra: “The work you do within you while you wait is just as important as what you are waiting for.” There is purpose in everything; the challenges, the waiting, the growth. Walking on your path is like being pruned. A rose bush will produce a more beautifully and bountiful harvest if you prune the dead and unnecessary from it.  Today, ask yourself, what attitudes and ways of thinking nee...

Morning Mantra: “You have so much to offer as the person you are.” Yes, life is all about personal growth, reaching goals, and improving ourselves, but don’t discount the value in who you are right now. You were born magical with so much goodness, so many amazing traits, so much love to give. It’s okay to be okay with yourself- flaws and all- while you work towards the person you want to be. Remem...

Morning Mantra: “Tiny steps will take you there.” That’s what most of life is… tiny steps. One tiny step that you take every day in the right direction. So when you look back down the road it all adds up and you know you covered some distance.  It took me a long time to accept that, but it’s true, you need to have patience. Looking at the big picture can be so overwhelming that you never take the...

Morning Mantra: "Settle your spirit before you speak." Anxiety, pain, and fear have a way of expressing themself, even when you are unaware that they are doing the talking. We lash out, we scream, we withdraw. Speak to be heard, not to hurt. Come from a frame of mind that allows you to express yourself so you will be heard. It's okay to have feelings and to try to communicate them. ...
