Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you."    You have an “inner voice” that has opinions on everything you do and what you have been through. That inner voice has its own perspective on you as a person.  If this voice is telling you that because of your past, you have little value, it's WRONG.  You can't change the past, bu...

Morning Mantra: "The comeback will be greater than the setback."  Nobody likes a setback. It can help to flip the switch on the impact and try to focus on the fact that every challenge offers a path for growth and improvement.  Just like every inconvenience can inspire you to discover new resourcefulness.  Of course every frustration requires you to strengthen your patience, at the same...

Morning Mantra: "Give every day the chance to be beautiful."   Mindset is so important.  Sometimes I think we forget this.  You can have a great big beautiful day if you start it with a mindset that attracts it. Start your day by handing over your worries and allowing yourself to experience what life feels like without fear.  Surrender any anger or resentments you have and decide you wil...

Morning Mantra: "Your world shifts the moment your perspective does." A joy-filled life isn't a destination; it’s a daily decision.  It’s choosing to notice what’s good even when everything isn’t great.  It’s sipping your morning coffee slowly, saying thank you for small wins, and finding something to laugh about even when life feels heavy.  The truth is, there will always be unfini...

Morning Mantra: "Will it be easy? Nope. Will it be worth it? Absolutely." Once you accept this fact, you will be ready to go after the life you dream of.   Too many people give up because things get tough.  But most of the things you really want in life take real effort, a tenacious commitment, and the strength of undying faith. In every relationship, in every goal, in every change, ther...

Morning Mantra: "We know what we want, but end up attracting what we think we deserve." This is why self-love and appreciation is so important. No matter what you think you should receive in life, if you don't think you deserve it, you will never get it, or you will lose it once you do. We are all born perfect and without self condemnation.  We are conditioned by our parents, our sc...

Morning Mantra: "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." Do you really need to do, say, possess, defend all the things you think you need to? Are there useless, even destructive, parts of your life so familiar you’re afraid to let them go? Invest some time in a space quiet enough to hear your soul whisper. Step away from the frenzy and remind...

Morning Mantra: "Patience Grasshopper."  You must learn to trust the process because your time is coming. Have patience. Of course that's not what you want to hear when you are ready for something to happen. Maybe it will help to understand that patience is a form of wisdom. It demonstrates that we understand and accept the fact that sometimes things must unfold in their own time. ...

Morning Mantra: "Leave everyone better than you found them."  Everyone is going through a hard time right now, some worse than others. Some can handle it better than others, but no one is exempt from the crisis in our country, in our world. The weight of the collective angst creates anxiety and reactivity. Some are affected physically, some mentally, some spiritually, some financially, o...

Morning Mantra: "I'm not being rejected, I'm being re-directed."  Try to look at rejection, getting fired, getting brushed off, or ignored, as an opportunity to change the direction of your career, and life.  It will hurt at first, but if you stay focused on the hurt the ego is in charge. Let it go.  Sometimes the Universe protects us from a situation or decision that isn'...

Morning Mantra: "Be the change you wish to see in the world."    It's easy to be a keyboard warrior, or an armchair quarterback, judging the behavior of others and telling them what they should do differently.  Rarely does this make any difference however. What are you actually DOING to make things better?   You don't have to move mountains.   You don't have to give up all...

Morning Mantra: "Forgiveness is just another name for freedom."   There is a cleansing and refreshing freedom which comes from forgiveness.  Forgiving someone does not mean you must trust them, or allow them into a position where they can hurt you again. Forgiveness means letting go of the weight of anger and moving on. Lighter, less burdened. Forgiveness doesn't mean that what happ...

Morning Mantra: "What we see reflected in others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look."    Whatever you see when you evaluate other people, is a projection of what is inside of you.  In order to recognize something in others, you must first have it within yourself. More often than not, what we dislike in others are the very things we do not like in ourselves. Trying...

Morning Mantra: "Why fit in when you were born to be different."   Each one of us is born unique. What sets you apart can sometimes feel like a burden but it’s not, it’s what makes you great. It's what sets you apart.  Only YOU can be YOU, how awesome is that? Being unique is what makes you unforgettable.  Interesting.  Creative.  Courageous. Original. Amazing. Bold. Unusual. Don&ap...

Morning Mantra: "In peace you hear the calling of your deepest purpose."   Let your life be a place where peace can be. Release thoughts of conflict, judgment, and separateness that push peace away.  Release your need to be right. Replace thoughts of hostility and resentment with thoughts of understanding and forgiveness. Seek achievement with a peaceful heart by accepting the timing of...

Morning Mantra: "Running from your problems only gets you further away from their solutions."    You have to face them to fix them.  You can try to avoid them but eventually this will manifest in your health, your peace of mind, your relationships.  Try and see challenges as what keeps life interesting, and that overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.  Then take small bites of the...

Morning Mantra: “Stop living like your bad decisions only affect you.”    Just take a second to stop and think of how you impact those around you.  Are you even aware of your impact? The impact we have on others in the world around us is our legacy. For better or for worse, each of us affects our community and the planet we live on, even through the actions of our everyday lives.  If we want our i...

Morning Mantra: "Use your head wisely to follow your heart faithfully."   Somewhere within you, all is well, no matter when, no matter what.  It's the feeling of your true self- without judgement or regret. The authentic self is the soul made visible. To be authentic requires vulnerability, transparency, and integrity.  It demands that you say and do what you actually believe.  You...

Morning Mantra: "Abundance isn't a destination to reach. It’s a state you allow." Your most abundant life isn’t waiting for you in the future. It’s available now. That idea can feel confusing because it cuts across everything we’re taught about time, effort, learning and earning.  We've been trying to think literally. Work first. Live later.  But the universe doesn’t move in st...

Morning Mantra: "Positive intentions have the power to heal."  The power of love within you has the power to serve you and others far beyond your physical self.   Positive thoughts bring light to you, your family, your friends and the world. You have the power to be part of the solution.  You can show up with grace and gratitude and spread love and positivity through your thoughts, your...

Morning Mantra: "Today I will challenge myself."  Every day it's a good idea to do something difficult.  You never touch your true potential until you challenge yourself to go beyond your self-imposed limitations.   Challenge and adversity are meant to help you know who you are. To discover the grit, the drive, the knowing-you-can-do-it. When you can't control what's happe...

Morning Mantra: "Be mindful of what you speak, it is a conversation with the Universe." Words have power so speak positivity over your life. Declare blessings, call in goodness, and speak out the things you want to live.  Say that things will work out, that the doors you need will open, that you will find peace, love, and prosperity.  Give thanks even for what has not happened yet, as if...

Morning Mantra: "An expert in anything was once a beginner."  Just about everything new that you attempt is difficult at first. You’ve never done it before, so you don’t know what to expect.  You don’t know how much time things will take.   You don’t know where to go for information.  You’re not sure you can do it. The best approach is to jump right in and try.  If there’s something you...

Morning Mantra: "My body is my forever home and I am grateful for it." Our society puts so much pressure on people (especially women) to look a certain way. We look at ourselves with critical eyes instead of appreciation. Today I challenge you to look at it in a different light. Look at your body.  Look at those arms that have held people they love.  Look at those eyes that have witnesse...

Morning Mantra: "I release all that weakens my light and welcome that which is in alignment with my soul." There’s a quiet softness that arrives with growth. Not because something is wrong, but because your system is learning how to release old versions of safety. It recognizes old patterns that once felt necessary as heavy and misaligned. Change doesn’t always feel loud — sometimes it f...
