Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "If you treat everyone you meet like they need grace and understanding, you'd be right 100% of the time." If we could look into each other's hearts and understand the challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other differently. More gently. With more understanding. With more compassion. With more love, patience, tolerance, and care. For each of us...

Morning Mantra: "There is always a message in the way a person treats you. Just listen." We teach others how to treat us by how we treat ourselves, and by how much we let them get away with. If you don't honor, respect and enforce your boundaries, no one else will. Stop allowing people into your life who are disrespectful, cruel, demanding, or dishonest. They are not happy with them...

Morning Mantra: "Sometimes it takes losing what you are settling for to remind you of what you truly deserve." You deserve more than halfway efforts, part-time love, and unavailable people. You deserve more than just earning a living at a job that does not inspire you. You deserve more than unequal friendships, and not feeling heard or supported in these relationships. If you don't...

Morning Mantra: "You can't hate yourself into a version you can love." The only one that gets to decide your worth is you.  It doesn't come from bank accounts or the number of friends you have. It doesn't come from the size you are or where you live. It doesn't come from what you do for a living or even, who you are in relationships with. It comes from you. Deep insid...

Morning Mantra: "When you focus on what has been done to you, you block what is coming to you." You cannot be a victor when you stay feeling like a victim. You cannot find your fullness, when you focus on what you lost. Release your past.  No thought or feeling will ever change it, they will just change your potential for a happy Now. Forgiveness is the gateway to peace, freedom, and abu...

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: "There is the what we actually experience, and then there is the story we tell ourselves about it." You either see it as an ending, or as a new beginning. You either see it as a storm that came to disrupt your path, or one that corrected your course. You either see the scary unknown, or an endless realm of opportunity. You create your reality based on your beliefs and exp...

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 work to improv...

Morning Mantra: "I am in competition with no one." There is no competition. Don't compare yourself and your journey to others. Don't add this unnecessary pressure to your life.   Your journey is unique. Be at peace with where you've been. Let the past go. Be happy about where you currently are. It is all you really have. Be excited about where you are headed. Some of the b...

Morning Mantra: "Life is not about being perfect." It's about being real, humble and helpful. You don't have to be perfect by other people's standards. Your opinion of yourself is all that matters. Just be the real you.  There is perfection in that because you ARE the standard. If you are lucky enough to be blessed, stay humble. And whenever you can, share your perfectly i...

Morning Mantra: "Your present circumstances do not determine where you can go, they merely determine where you start." It may seem bleak right now. It may seem like where you are right now is all you can get, all you deserve. Try to remember that the road to a better life, your dream job, a healthier you, more satisfying relationships, or anything else you'd like to improve- begins...

Morning Mantra: "We become what we repeatedly do." I should add,  "and think." Watch your thoughts for they become words. Watch your words for they become actions. Watch your actions for they become habits. Watch your habits for they become your character. Watch your character for it becomes your destiny. #BeAWatcher #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #ins...

Morning Mantra: "Be conscious about what you fill your life with." There are so many ways to be distracted today.  To numb your mind and waste time. The problem with doing that is it will distance you from the things that move you closer to your best life. Time is a a valuable commodity, so instead of scrolling, binging and avoiding, try to prioritize the things that help you achieve you...

Morning Mantra: "It's the courage to continue that counts." Success is not final. Failure is not the opposite of success. They are both a part of the journey. Each mistake teaches you something new about yourself and what you need to do to reach your goals. Each goal reached teaches you how much it takes to get there. So, you either way, you learn.  True failure is never falling dow...

Morning Mantra: "Sometimes happiness means giving up on understanding and getting comfortable with not knowing." Not knowing is hard for many of us.  When this happens, the pursuit of knowing creates anxiety and suffering. We will create a false understanding in our minds just to relieve the angst we feel by not knowing something right NOW. With surrender comes a loosening, an opening of...

Morning Mantra: “What you do makes a difference. You just need to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you.  Everything you say and do with others has an effect on them. Will it be a positive one or a negative one?  You get to choose. Are you an encourager, or a critic? Are you spreading love and kindness...

Morning Mantra: "Choose your hard." Relationships are hard. Being single is hard. Work is hard. Being unemployed is hard. Being unhealthy is hard. Eating clean and exercising is hard. Being in debt is hard. Being financially responsible is hard. Communicating is hard. Not communicating is hard. Being there is hard. Not being there is hard. Life is not always easy. But we can choose our h...

Morning Mantra: "Doing your best is more important than being the best." You spend a large amount of time wondering if you are doing things wrong. At some point you need to remind yourself that you are doing your best. And that is enough. Just do your best, with what you have. The goal isn't being better than others, it's being the best YOU possible. #BeWillingToDoYourBest #BeH...

Morning Mantra: "Sometimes all is takes is a new perspective to see the light." Happiness is the new rich. Inner peace is the new success. Health is the new wealth. Kindness is the new cool. When you change the way you look at things,  the things you look at change. Quote Dr. Wayne Dwyer #BeOpenToChangingYourPerspective #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspiratio...

Morning Mantra: "Freedom is being yourself, without anyone's permission." There is no greater freedom than the freedom to be yourself.  Faults and all.  (Everyone makes mistakes). Imperfections and all.  (We are all perfectly imperfect). Scars and all.  (They show the battles you've endured.) Quirks and all.  (Why be like everyone else?). Surround yourself with those that appre...

Morning Mantra: "You're doing far better than you give yourself credit for." Stop discrediting yourself for everything you aren't, and start giving yourself some credit for everything you are, and are working towards. Begin each day by acknowledging and appreciating yourself for being brave and strong enough to even try. You've shown up. You keep going. You are far more be...

Morning Mantra: "We fall. We break. We fail.  But then.  We rise. We heal. We overcome." Everyone, I repeat, Every. Single. Person. has times in their life when they fall, when they are broken, when they fail miserably. But you must always get back up. Get back on the horse so to say. And try again. The quality of your life depends on it. You have to, unless you want to surrender to a vi...

Morning Mantra: "It wasn't for nothing." Everything you are going through right now has a purpose. And there is a reason for everything you already went through. We grow through what we go through. Going through things you never thought you'd go through, will get you to places that you never thought you'd reach. Hang in there. #BeLieveInTheProcess #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHip...

Morning Mantra: "Be soft for the sake of every hard heart." It's not your imagination, the world and many of the people in it have hardened.  Maybe it's because of all the chaos of late.  Maybe it's because of all the pain and suffering we are aware of now- 24 hours a day- thanks to TV and social media. Whatever the reason, it is more important than ever, that YOU stay sof...

Morning Mantra: "Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself." Beauty is not about make-up, flawless skin, flowing hair or the thinness of your body. Beauty comes from within and it reflects in your eyes, your posture, your behavior. How you "look" is an outward expression of how you feel. If you try to look beautiful but don't really feel it, it will show. Being yo...
