Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "You often feel tired not because you did too much, but because you did too little of what sets our soul on fire." We can fill every. single. moment. of our day with things, stuff, busy work.  And yes, you will probably be tired at the end of the day. But when you don't have a jammed packed schedule, and you are tired anyway, that's when you know you need to fil...

Morning Mantra: "In life, it's important to simply stop arguing with certain people, and just let them be wrong." With the stress of the past few years most people need an outlet for their anxiety. Some people took up a new sport, some went to school online, some quit their jobs and hit the road. Others decided to get mad and stay that way. And when they are feeling particularly anx...

Morning Mantra: "Don't downgrade your dreams to match your reality. Upgrade your faith to match your destiny." God never gives you a dream that matches your budget.  It has nothing to do with your bank account, it's all about your faith. There are many people that never realize their dreams because they focus on the obstacles instead of their goal. They fill their head with dou...

Morning Mantra: “Judge me when you are perfect, otherwise, shut up.” I love this quote because we all know that no one is perfect, therefore, no one has the right to judge. We are not here to judge each other anyway; we are here to lift each other. When we criticize, condemn, blame, denounce or find fault, we lower our own vibration to one that does not attract what you need to be your best self....

Morning Mantra: "Sometimes you will have to make a decision that will hurt your heart, but heal your soul." When you know you need to make a change, but you also know it will hurt, that's when you need to dig deep and rip the band aid off. Because on the other side of that hurt, is healing. You cannot heal as long as you tolerate things in order to avoid the hard work of ending some...

Morning Mantra: "Faith is opening up, a letting go, a deep trust, a free act of love." If you only carry one thing in life, let it be faith. Faith that better things are ahead. Faith that you can get through even the toughest times. Faith that you are stronger than any challenge that comes your way. Faith that you are exactly where you are meant to be. Because through all of these, faith...

Morning Mantra: "No amount of guilt can change the past, and no amount of worry can change the future." Guilt is to your soul like pain is to the body, yet we will address the pain, but we are willing to carry the guilt. Worry is to the mind the same way. Neither guilt nor worry are worthy of your energy. Neither can change the outcome. Both just ruin the day you are in. If you can make...

Morning Mantra: "If you can't say something nice to yourself, practice." Only you can hear that voice inside your head. Make sure you are being kind. You have the ability to be your own cheerleader or your own worst enemy.  Be careful with how you speak to yourself, with how you compare yourself to others.  Your words matter, especially when you say them to yourself.  Your words are...

Morning Mantra: "Learn to be happy right now. Otherwise you run out of time." Don't wait for things to get easier, simpler, or better. Some area of your life will ALWAYS be complicated. There will ALWAYS be reasons to be unhappy. But they can't win.  Life is too short. Find reasons to be happy NOW. Even with the stress, chaos, crappy job, extra weight, lack of money, unfulfilli...

Morning Mantra: "If you are always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one you are in?" Slow down. Be patient. Take the time to meditate on what you really need, and what you really want. Take as long as you need to find the answers to these questions. You are not in a rush. We all could do with a chance to slow down, catch our breath, and really look at life.  Look for moment...

Morning Mantra: "Don't shrink yourself to fit into places you've outgrown." When someone lets you know what they can and cannot provide in a relationship, listen. This is the moment for you to decide if this is enough for YOU, as is, without hoping things will change in time. This is NOT a moment for you to figure out how you can minimize your needs to make it work, question wh...

Morning Mantra: "Rise above the noise. Let your energy do the talking." You are your greatest asset for avoiding all the noisy confusion that causes stress. The negativity that pulls you down. When you feel it get to you, rise above. Stand in your light. In your strength. In your power. Don’t let yourself get pulled into conversations or other people’s business that doesn’t concern you. ...

Morning Mantra: "If where you are is not where you want to be, remember, you have the power to change direction." Your present situation does not have to be your final destination. You have the choice to deviate from the current path if it does not fill you with joy. You are here to be your best self and to live your best life. Dream big, create a plan, then work until you get there. #Be...

Morning Mantra: "If your path demands that you walk through hell, walk as if you own the place." Who among us has never faced adversity? Who among us has never seen life go horribly wrong?  But it’s what happens after that truly matters.  It’s how we pick ourselves up in the aftermath that builds character and makes us who we are.  No one asks to walk through hell, but if you must, learn...

Morning Mantra: "People don't fake depression, they fake being okay." Never judge something by its appearance.  You don’t know what’s going on inside, what really is happening.  We never know what is really beneath the surface. We never know what anyone is going through.  Just because someone posts a photo of them smiling doesn’t mean they don’t feel sadness. Just because you see so...

Morning Mantra: "Life humbles you as you age, and you realize what really matters." Today is your opportunity to be humbled. Today is the chance to stop focusing on what doesn’t matter, and start focusing on what will move you forward with grace, dignity and love. We all have the ability to look within, and find what matters and what doesn’t.  Who matters, and who doesn't. Where you...

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. We are here to find the good in others, as well as the good within ourselves.  Don’t for a moment let someone make you believe you are less than. That you are not a light of love. That you are unwor...

Morning Mantra: "Trust that you will know what you need to know when you need to know it. " Trust yourself.  Trust your inner voice.  Trust that you have what it takes.  Trust that you can do what you need to do. Trust that you can wait until it's time. A bird on a branch is not afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not on the branch, but on her own wings. Let your tru...

Morning Mantra: "Treat today like a birthday. A day to give birth to new ideas, new possibilities, new beginnings." Each day is a gift to you. Given so that you may live it with enthusiasm, excitement and purpose. Every day can be a birth day. A brand new day where you can start to explore the unknown. Dream of the possibilities for your life. And find your purpose. Have a Happy Birth Da...

Morning Mantra: "Sometimes you need a Stop Doing list as badly as you need a To Do list." Most people understand the concept of a "To Do" list. We diligently list all our responsibilities and feel good as we scratch each one off upon completion. But it might be a good idea to make a "Stop Doing" list too. We could list things like: Stop complaining. Stop comparing. St...

Morning Mantra: “Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when to you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.” You learn a lot about your strength when you have to go it alone.  One of the things you learn to recognize is when you need help and how to ask for it. I always believe that God works through people. So if you pray for help, be smart enough to use it when it comes. Don’t...

Morning Mantra: "Stop blending in and stand out in your uniqueness." Isn't it awesome that the same God that created flowers, snowflakes, sunsets, and rainbows, created you? Just like them, you are unique in every way, from your story, your experiences, your opinions, your voice.  No one else can be you, and no one can take away the many beautiful things that make up you.  Embrace w...

Morning Mantra: "A little communication goes a long way." If you're too busy, say it. If you are upset, express it. If you are running late, let them know. If you want to do something, be straightforward about it. Communication is so simple, yet we complicate it. It's so easy to express ourselves, yet we think it's hard. Be honest, be open, and be willing to tell your stor...

Morning Mantra: "Courage only shows up when fear is present first." It's okay to be scared. Doing something new or unfamiliar is scary. Doing things like giving yourself permission to heal, or being raw and vulnerable takes courage. Following your dreams can make you feel like you aren't strong enough to get there. But you will. You can do hard things. It's when you face t...

Morning Mantra: “It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.” When everything seems to be going wrong, that is old energy clearing out, and new things are coming.  It is the perfect time to create your plan. Sometimes you can help clear the way by dealing with old business and ties that are holding you back from forward motion. Untether yourself from past trauma, drama and pain. Take the t...
