Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: “Only as high as I reach can I grow. Only as far as I seek can I go. Only as far as I look can I see. Only as much as I dream can I be.” Know that you can start late, look different,  be uncertain, and still succeed. There is always more than one way to get things done. There will always be a way to start over. It is always the right time to do what makes you happy. There is no sta...

Morning Mantra: "Free yourself from the version of you that you created to protect yourself." You can tear down the walls that you built. You can be vulnerable, and scared, and open. You are safe. You are strong. You no longer need to protect yourself. You can open your heart to love. You don't need anyone to feel whole, worthy, and enough. You got you. And that is more than enough....

Morning Mantra: “When nothing is certain, anything is possible.” It can be scary, uncertainty.  Not knowing what’s coming next.  Learning to trust the wait. Embrace the unknown. You have to be willing to open your heart and mind to the possibilities.  To imagine how you WANT things to go. Really FEEL how you will feel when what you want happens.  Because the truth is, you DON’T know what is going...

Morning Mantra: “Raise your words not your voice. It’s the rain that grows the flower, not the thunder.” I have always loved this quote by Rumi.  I am by nature a talkative, loudish person.   Let’s say I’ve been “shished” more than once in my life. I’m MUCH better since I have become more self aware, and this quote helps me stay that way. Talking over someone, not listening attentively, and being...

Morning Mantra: “Wake up and live.” Hey, You.  Yeah, You. Are you awake? Are you paying attention? Are you fully living your life? Or are you going through the motions, settling for what you have, instead of creating  the life you were meant to live? It’s easy to settle because.. Life. Is. Hard.  But here’s the thing. It’s not easier because you settle.  Settling is just a different set of problem...

Morning Mantra: “You attract what you focus on.”  Your energy is like a magnet.  It sends out vibrations that attract.  You attract what you love, but you also attract what you worry about.   The secret is to focus on what you love more. Worrying is wishing for things that you DON’T want to happen. It doesn’t create anything but fear. It robs you of your peace and causes your body to stay in an an...

Morning Mantra: “It’s all about perspective.” We operate from either our ego, or our heart.   Your ego is self-centered, defensive, exclusive and needs to be fed constantly.  It loves attention, drama, and chaos. Your heart is full of love, compassion, inclusion, and craves peace. If you want to operate from your heart; Work for a cause, not applause. Live life to express, not impress. Don’t make...

Morning Mantra: “It’s okay to outgrow people that aren’t growing.” There comes a time in your life when you will outgrow certain people. The ones that hurt you more than they love you. Drain you more than they replenish you. Bring more stress than peace. Try to stunt your growth rather than clap for it. Talk about you behind your back rather than be honest to your face. Push your boundaries more t...

Morning Mantra: “It’s okay if today isn’t your day. Tomorrow is a new day.” Head up, shoulders back, tomorrow is yours for the taking. When tomorrow comes you have two choices;  you can wallow in how bad your day was yesterday,  or you can roll up your sleeves, and get to work making this day better. It’s a bad day, not a bad life so don’t carry today’s sorrow, frustrations and problems into the n...

Morning Mantra: “Life is about the journey. Enjoy each step of the way.” Life must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations are.  For there are so many lessons to learn along the way. Look at your life as an opportunity to grow, explore, experience, flourish, not to stay put. When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the dancefloor.  It’s to enjoy each step...

Morning Mantra: “Your vibe attracts your tribe.” Your circle is your tribe, and you get to decide who is in it.   Your circle should want you to win.  Your circle should clap the loudest when you have good news, and lift you up when it is hard.  You are influenced by those you surround yourself with so don’t underestimate the effects of your pessimistic, unsupportive, and critical friends. Your ci...

Morning Mantra: "Being positive doesn't mean you don't ever have negative thoughts. It means you are aware of them and don't let them control your life." Sometimes I get push back from people that say it's impossible to always be positive.  And I don't disagree. Everyone will have a negative thought at some point. Everyone can be in a bad mood. Everyone has a rig...

Morning Mantra: "Getting things done is great, but it has nothing to do with your worth." The voice in your head saying you're "not doing enough" isn't yours. It's inherited. It's been passed down from society, educators, and your parents who taught us that our worth is based on achievement. Sometimes doing nothing is the best thing you can do...for you. #Be...

Morning Mantra: “You are the answer.” People ask me, “What is the answer to saving the world? To making it better?” I answer, “You.”  You are the key. Each and every person. Heal yourself, know yourself, make yourself whole and free. Release all limits so that your love can flow unconditionally for yourself and the world. This will open up the heaven of your heart completely and it will change the...

Morning Mantra: “To forgive is to set a prisoner free, and to discover that the prisoner was you.” Instead of getting even or teaching someone a lesson when they do you wrong,  consider teaching yourself a lesson instead. Revenge keeps you connected to them in a negative way.  Release yourself through the liberating act of forgiveness,  and you will learn a valuable spiritual lesson. #BeAForgiving...

Morning Mantra: “You deserve to be seen, heard, respected and loved.” When we doubt our right to have hurt feelings,  and push them away,  we allow ourselves to be manipulated. Manipulation is when they blame you for your reaction to their disrespect.   They convince you that you provoked it,  that your reaction to their behavior is negative and uncalled for. Don’t go there.  Don’t abandon yoursel...

Morning Mantra: "Sometimes you only learn the value of a moment when it becomes a memory." A good life is a collection of happy memories. Memories remind us that nothing lasts forever. Time is a precious commodity and should not be wasted. Savor the moments of joy. Really see them. Feel them. Taste them. Remember them. Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it. #BeAMemo...

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. The more time we spend interconnected via technology, the less time we have to develop authentic relationships in the real world. The more of our life we spe...

Morning Mantra: "If it's out of your hands, it should be out of your head."  The things you cannot control in life are teaching you how to let go. Let go of the need to fix everything and everyone. Let go of the desire to know everything about everyone. Let go of the drama. Let go of the negative thoughts that clutter your mind. Let go of the need to worry about things that you cann...

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 does...

Morning Mantra: "Sometimes miracles come as good people with kind hearts." Most people think a miracle is something big, supernatural and divine, that defies understanding.  But there are other ways to define a miracle.  "A fortunate outcome that prevails despite overwhelming odds against it." "An awesome and exceptional example of something." "A wonderful outcom...

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: "Gratitude is medicine." Did you know that gratitude: >> Shields you from negativity >> Rewires your brain to a happier state >> Eliminates stress >> Helps you sleep better >> Boosts self-esteem and performance >> Improves relationships What else can you do or take that does this much good? And doesn't cost a thing. So, starting to...

Morning Mantra: "There is a version of you that you haven't met yet, keep showing up until you do." Think of the person that you've always wanted to become. The person that makes dreams reality. What would they do right now? What would they say? What would they think? How would they feel? And now accept that this person is YOU. Start showing up for that person. Start showing up...

Morning Mantra: "Where there is darkness, let there be light." When a flashlight grows dim or doesn't shine, do you throw it away or change the batteries?  You change the batteries. When a person messes up or finds themselves in a dark place, should you cast them aside?  Of course not. You help them change their batteries. Some need AA- Attention and Affection. Some need AAA- Attent...
