Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "Speak to be heard, not to hurt." Anxiety, pain, and fear have a way of expressing themself, even when you are unaware that is who is doing the talking. We lash out, we scream, we withdraw. Settle your spirit before you speak.  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...

Morning Mantra: "If you erase all the mistakes of your past, you would erase all the wisdom of the present.” Take chances, make mistakes. That is how you grow. You have to fail to practice being brave. You have to fall to learn to get back up. You have to come to a detour to learn how to change direction. You often learn more from being wrong for the right reasons, than from being right for t...

Morning Mantra: "There are no prerequisites to worthiness.” In our society we are groomed from a young age to be hard workers.  The more work we do, the more we are praised by our teachers, our coaches, our parents. As we age those compliments come from bosses, co-workers, and friends. We learn to tie our worth and worthiness to what we produce and can accomplish. We put hard work and money o...

Morning Mantra: "Don’t waste your words on people who deserve your silence.” Recently I had to sort through a bullying problem. I’m more of a pacifist than a fighter (being a hippy and all) and I understand that sometimes we need to ignore certain people to achieve peace. But man that can be difficult! The bully is a control freak and, in her effort to keep her world “safe”, she tries to tell...

Morning Mantra: "Don't base your decisions on the opinion of people that do not have to live with the consequences." There is free advice everywhere. There are always those people that want to tell you what you should do. But they only know what THEY see, which is through the lens of their experiences. All you really can do is listen to YOUR inner voice and follow your heart. Their...

Morning Mantra: "You can make a difference. You just have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility.   Will you contribute a positive impact on the world and those that inhabit it? Or will you create a negative one?  You choose every day in the way you live on this planet and the way you treat others. What you do matt...

Morning Mantra: "While you are busy doubting yourself, someone else is admiring your strength.” It’s funny how we never see ourselves as others do. We tend to focus on our flaws. We zoom in on our slightest imperfections, while others see us as someone to look up to. They see someone that has overcome setbacks. Who has faced fears and won. Someone full of confidence and strength. Isn’t it abo...

Morning Mantra: "Tug on anything at all and you will find it connected to everything in the Universe." Whenever I am feeling alone, unheard, or ignored, I think of this quote by John Muir.  It reminds me that I am never alone. It reminds me to go to nature to feel my connectiveness. It reminds me to act accordingly. If you live your life as if you are in a bubble, regardless of how your...

Morning Mantra: "Tough times never last, but tough people do.” Here’s to the ones that have been through a lot. To the ones who get up every day no matter what. To the ones that are tired yet hopeful. To the ones who lost their light but are trying hard to find it again. To the ones who lost themselves because of other people or circumstances but have decided to choose themselves from now on....

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 pandemic induced hyper-concern for 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...

Morning Mantra: "Freedom is meaningless unless it’s meaningful."  On this Independence Day give yourself the gift of freedom. Freedom from negative self talk. Freedom from people pleasing. Freedom to speak your truth. Freedom to make mistakes.  Freedom to forgive. Freedom from fear. Freedom to love who you want. Freedom to look how you want. Freedom to be who you want to be. Freedom to c...

Morning Mantra: “Your direction is more important than your speed.” You’ll get there.  Just keep moving in the direction of your dreams. No matter how slow the progress. No matter how long it takes. Just keep moving. #BeHeadedInTheRightDirection #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #MorningMantras #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippie HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "It could be worse.” This mantra is one my father used to say to me when I found myself venting about life. I didn’t like it at the time. Recently, I started using it whenever I find myself facing a disappointment, and by golly, it works! Usually, when we are having a bad experience, we tend to try shift focus to everything that is good about our life, to try and counter the n...

Morning Mantra: "Life isn't easy for people with overthinking minds and sensitive hearts." Overthinking is a sign of lack of faith.  An inability to let things unfold without attempting to control the outcome.  Highly sensitive people see and feel things that others overlook and ignore. But continually swimming in a sea of sensation can be exhausting.  Combine overthinking and sensi...

Morning Mantra: "Ignoring the red flags because you want to see the good in people will cost you later." The people that give your gut warning signs fit your dysfunction. They fit your pain. They fit where you see yourself now. But they are not equipped to go where you are going in the plan God has for you. If you ignored the road signs on a trip you'd never get where you were heade...

Morning Mantra: "You are allowed to change anytime you want to." You can wake up any day and decide that it's time. It's time to choose new experiences, new looks, new places, and new people. It's time to speak freely, walk more confidently, laugh louder, glow from the inside out. Let go of the fear that they won't like the new you. YOUR tribe will always love you.  S...

Morning Mantra: "You are right where you are supposed to be." We are all guilty of getting wrapped up into "where we should be" and all that does is cause stress and anxiety. Instead, stay here, stay present. Love this moment in your life. Love this body. Love this season. Love this job. Love yourself and your life as they are. Understand that everything has a purpose, a lesson...

Morning Mantra: “Be the one who loves you the most.” If you are searching for the one person that can change your life, look in the mirror. If you want to find someone that can love you knowing all your faults and past mistakes, look in the mirror. Today is the day to start. Loving yourself. Respecting yourself. Admiring yourself. Forgiving yourself. Accepting yourself. Everything starts with how...

Morning Mantra: "Finish each day and be done with it." You cannot change the past or predict the future- what you have is today- this moment- NOW. As humans we tend to overthink, and rehash every mistake we make. We will even carry that with us into a brand new day and spoil it, fretting and regretting. If you can remedy it then do.  Apologize, fix the wrong, correct the error. If you ca...

Morning Mantra: "Live your own life. Move to your own rhythm." Who says you need to fit in? Who gets to decide what normal is anyway? If something different stirs inside of you- listen. If something ignites your soul- do it. If you hear a song in the air- dance to it. Your uniqueness is your gift.  No one else has it. Sometimes what sets you apart can feel like a burden, but it's no...

Morning Mantra: "The sooner you believe that things can change, the faster they will." If you keep your mind so busy with worry, regrets, and fear, it has no time to believe that things can change for the good. Not only are you creating doubt, you are creating delays. Staying in a worrying or doubting space keeps your energetic vibrations too low to attract the positive change you desire...

Morning Mantra: “Invite stillness into your life.” Being still and quiet for a few minutes a day gives your mind a break from input. That break creates space in your thinking. This space allows you to hear your own voice and get back in tune with your inner compass. That stillness allows you to listen without the need for reaction. Stillness is the language God speaks, and everything else is a bad...

Morning Mantra: “Healing is not the absence of the storm. Healing is learning how to ride it.” It’s okay if you thought you were over it but it hits you all over again. It’s okay to fall apart even after you thought you had moved on. Don’t give up, don’t give into it. Healing is messy. Healing is a process of learning how to accept everything but picking the best.  It’s a daily choice to make peac...

Morning Mantra: “It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you are not.” What would you try if you knew you couldn’t fail? What gives you the lack of confidence to try? Is it lack of knowledge? That can be improved through learning. Is it lack of skill? That can be changed through training. More likely, it’s a lack of confidence. It’s who you think you are. It is not the lack of...

Morning Mantra: "Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn't know." Everyone understands how hard it is to trust other people after you have been deeply hurt. But rarely does anyone talk about how hard it is to trust yourself after you've had your gut instincts and convictions skillfully undermined by someone. It begins with forgiving yourself. Know that you are allowed to...
