Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me." Today, Christians all over the world celebrate the birth of Jesus, The Prince of Peace. Yet we cannot always find peace.  We cannot be at peace. The peace we seek begins with us.  Within us. When we consciously and consistently choose peace in our words and our actions,  more peace will appear in our lives. It doesn...

Morning Mantra: “Balance isn’t something you find, it’s something you create.” Balance is a feeling, a sense of harmony. It’s necessary for the quality of your life. It can be so difficult to create balance in your life when you feel pulled in too many directions, with demands coming at you from every angle. The first step in creating balance is awareness.  It is knowing when to hold on, and when...

Morning Mantra: “I’m not in competition with anyone, I hope we all succeed.” How amazing is it that we have the capability to lift each other up and offer kindness instead of criticism? How cool is it that we can all help each other in our own special way? So...Let’s cheer each other on. Let’s put community over competition.  One of my favorite parts of running Horse Hippie is the blessing of gett...

Morning Mantra: “Focus on your relationship with yourself and see how your relationship with others will bloom.” Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for your relationship with others. How you treat yourself, how you talk to yourself, how much you believe in yourself, how you love yourself.

Morning Mantra: “Many paths lead to the same destination, it doesn’t matter how you get there.” Allow yourself to take many paths to your goals. If you don’t, you might quit when one path gets blocked.  Allow your journey to look different than others, your life is yours to chart.  Allow yourself some time for rest, self-reflection and distractions. Not every second needs to be focused on getting...

Morning Mantra: “Sometimes it takes a wrong turn to bring you to the right place.” Sometimes a decision you might regret or consider a mistake can turn out to be the catalyst for something extraordinary in the end. I think it’s good to do things without always knowing how they’ll turn out. You’re curious and smart, and life is full of adventures you will miss if you wait until things are perfect,...

Morning Mantra: "The world needs what you've got." Each one of us is born with something to give. Each one of us is born with a purpose. Every day is an opportunity to offer your gifts.

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...

Morning Mantra: “Every storm runs out of rain.” When you are sad, angry, or intensely mad, it’s easy to think that these feelings will last forever. Like this is your new normal. It’s not. Everything is temporary. Even the worst emotions will leave if we acknowledge them and feel them fully.  Even the word emotion means “to move out.”  So be angry but keep working through it. Feel sad but keep mov...

Morning Mantra: “Just because you are struggling, it doesn’t mean you are failing.” If you are struggling remember this- you have survived everything you’ve gone through up to this point. Which means you are a survivor not a failure. You are stronger than what you are going through, which means you are a warrior, a fighter, a brave soul. You will get through this.

Morning Mantra: "Do more things that make you forget to check your phone." If your cell phone gets more attention that your health, your relationships, and the pursuit of your best life, you might want to reevaluate your priorities.

Morning Mantra: “You're doing just fine.” Life is amazing. And then it’s awful. And then it’s amazing. And in between the amazing and awful it’s the ordinary and mundane.

And you’re doing just fine. #BeFineWithLife #...

Morning Mantra: "The vacation we often need is a break from our own mind." I don't know about you, but I need a break. From worrying about my business. From concern over my health. From the stress of the condition of our planet. From hyper-concern for the health of those I love. It's getting to me. But I also know I am in charge of my feelings. I can take a break- or 20- and re...

Morning Mantra: “All frustrations are self-induced. The outside world can invite us to become upset, but we ultimately accept the invitation.” It’s easy and natural to feel frustrated with life. When you do, step back, experience the frustration, and then let it motivate you instead of control you. Frustration occurs when life doesn’t unfold the way you’d like it to. Instead of letting that sense...

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.

Morning Mantra: "Shine so bright that others can see their way out of the dark." We are here to be a light. Not to be divisive, mean, angry, or bitter.  We are here to show love and be loved.

That you are unwor...

Morning Mantra: “Doing your best looks different every day.” Today your best may look like a highly organized person getting her to-do list done.

Tomorrow your best might be walking 3 miles, doing some yoga, eating healthy and being mindful. Or it might be just putting one foot in...

Morning Mantra: “Don’t wait for the perfect moment, take the moment and make it perfect.” Opportunity is always knocking.  The problem is that most of us have the self-doubt, anxiety, unworthy voices in our head turned up way too loud to hear it.

Morning Mantra: “May the flowers remind us why the rain was so necessary.” I keep a container of fresh flowers on my kitchen table year-round. Sometimes they are cut from my garden, but most of the time I buy them. I love the sight of them, bursting with color, an instant pick-me-up.  But I also use them as a remember that beautiful things growth through dirt, and need rainy days. It’s easy to onl...

Morning Mantra: “The wait isn’t punishment, it’s preparation.” It’s difficult to be patient when you think you know what you want your life to look like. It’s hard to not push and try to hurry things up. Please just trust the timing of your life. Many times, we force things because we think we have to have it all figured out by a certain age. But guess why? You don’t have to chase a version of you...

Morning Mantra: "Be proud of yourself for how hard you are trying." Nobody sees the battles you fight every day. No one truly understands how hard it is to do what you do. They judge you. They criticize you. But they could never be you. Despite all the difficulty, you manage to smile, to find the beauty in the world, and to help others. Despite the challenges, you continue to work to imp...

Morning Mantra: “If it’s out of your hands, then give it freedom from your mind.” You can’t control everything.   Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out.
