Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "You are the light." We all are. Deep within you is the light of love. God put it there. Please don't let the conditioning from society, your family, or your relationships, dim it. The world NEEDS it.  All of it.  All of us. Imagine the power of love if we all just decided to shine.   #BeWillingToShineSoBright #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra...

Morning Mantra: "Don't let the hard days win." We all have them.  The days that just suck the wind right out of you. Nothing goes right. You put the cereal in the refrigerator and the milk in the cabinet.  Then it goes down hill from there. But guess what? You can do hard things. Even on hard days. Just keep going. One tiny step in front of the other. It will get better. I promise....

Morning Mantra: "Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears." Fear is a tricky thing. It can be helpful, for example, if you're walking alone through a dark alley — your fear can protect you by telling you to keep your guard up. On the other hand, fear can also be crippling — the opportunities we don't seize, the experiences we're hesitant to...

Morning Mantra: "You never look good trying to make someone else look bad." The internet has made it possible for us to connect with others everywhere.  It also has made it possible for people to feel they have the right to say anything. Vow not to engage.  Don't waste time having imaginary arguments with imaginary people. You can speak your truth and do it with kindness, compassion...

Morning Mantra: "Thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to behavior, behavior leads to results." When you think you want something, what you really desire is the emotion you have attached to it.  That emotion will drive your behavior and you will either do what is needed, or you won't do anything. For example, if you think you want a new relationship, it's the emotion of love...

Morning Mantra: "Some things are meant to be accepted, not understood." Don't try too hard to understand why some things happen the way they do. It only leads to frustration, sadness, and pain.   Learn to just accept that not everything is meant to be understood. Just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean it isn't so. So let go. Find peace. #BeOkWithNotUnderst...

Morning Mantra: "Sunsets are proof that endings can be beautiful too." All endings are beginnings, we just don't know it at the time. Without the sunset, we wouldn't get the new day. The new day brings new opportunities. To learn. To grow. To heal. To explore. To cry. To sing. To dance. To find our joy. Look at the end as a new beginning and your view will change. #BeOKWithEndi...

Morning Mantra: "Try and fail, but never fail to try." You owe it to yourself to try. It's really all we can ever do. Just try. Try because you deserve to have what you desire. Try because if you never try, you'll never know. Trying means you are willing to go for it without the certainty of success. And that takes courage, so you have already gained something. #BeWillingToTry...

Morning Mantra: "Practice the pause." When in doubt, pause. When you are angry, pause. When you are tired, pause. When you are stressed, pause. When you are hurt, pause. When you are about to judge another, pause. And when you pause, pray. If you pause, you may avoid doing things you will regret later. Quote: Adapted from Toby Mac #BeWillingToPause #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHipp...

Morning Mantra: "Count your blessings." In a society that has you counting  money,  pounds,  calories,  steps,  followers,  and likes,  be a rebel and count your blessings instead. Each and every day, remember how blessed you are. Then, be a blessing for others. #BeABlessingCounter #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestria...

Morning Mantra: “Expectations are resentments waiting to happen.”   Sometimes we expect more from others because we would be willing to do that much for them.  But, the problem with expecting others to behave like we would, is that it feeds frustration. Expectation is an unhealthy attachment to people, things, and outcomes that we wish we could control, but we don’t. When you give up expectation i...

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: "Your future is created today, not tomorrow." Ask yourself if what you are doing today is bringing you closer to where you want to be tomorrow. Go after it.  That thing that keeps whispering in your ear. That thing you can't stop thinking about. Start today. If you don't change what you are doing today, all your tomorrows will look like yesterday. #BeAwareOfYour...

Morning Mantra: "I love and show up As I Am." Our level of belonging can only be as deep as our level of self acceptance, because true belonging can only happen when we present our authentic, imperfect self to the world. When we judge ourselves and others we cannot accept them as they are. To understand this go into a forest and look at the trees.  Some are tall, some are thick, some are...

Morning Mantra: "Every experience is an opportunity to learn and grow." Everything we go through is either a learning experience to grow on, A beautiful memory to reflect on, Or a motivating factor to act upon. Don't begrudge your bad experiences, they are your best teachers. From mistakes we learn resilience. From failure we learn our strength. From death we learn to appreciate lif...

Morning Mantra: "Tell people what you need.  You'll either get it or realize they can't give it to you.  Both are gifts." Don't ever assume others know what you want or need emotionally. It's hard, but necessary to communicate this openly and honestly. Don't try and un-need what you need.  People will either be right for you or they won't.  But trying to cha...

Morning Mantra: "I breathe in confidence, I breathe out fear." What are you afraid of? The best way through it is to face it.  Use this mantra as a pep talk to yourself. Take deep breaths and say it... until you FEEL it. Confidence is not grown from avoiding our fears but by conquering them. #BeWillingToFaceYourFears #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirational...

Morning Mantra: "You do not find a happy life. You create it." Looking for happiness is a futile endeavor.  It's not found in the past.  It's not found by waiting for the future. It's created in the moment you are in.  To be happy is a choice you make every day, every hour. And refining and renewing that state is a constant pursuit. #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippi...

Morning Mantra: "For every minute you are angry you lose 60 seconds of peace." Anger is punishment we give to ourselves for somebody else's mistake.  It doesn't solve anything.  It builds nothing.   But it can destroy everything. Forgiving frees us of from the unnecessary stress that anger creates. It allows people to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands,...

Morning Mantra: "If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down." What we get by achieving our goals is not as important as what we become. It's scary to let go of the comfort of control. It's difficult to believe that things will be better if we let go. But you will survive.  You will grow.  You can soar. #BeWillingToLetGoAndFly #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #Horse...

Morning Mantra: "Be more committed to your goals than you are to your excuses." If you really want something you will make it happen instead of making excuses for why it won't.  It all starts with your mindset. You have to be ready to do the hard work that it takes. You might start the process but you won't finish unless you are committed. We quit because it's easier. Beca...

Morning Mantra: "Normalize saying I'm sorry." Let's change the script.  Let's normalize apologizing after we are wrong instead of being defensive and disrespectful because we are embarrassed.  When a person tells you that you hurt them, you don't get to decide that you didn't. Let's hear other people from where they are, instead of from where we are.   Let&a...

Morning Mantra: "No one is judging you as hard as you are judging yourself." There is a difference between judging yourself and observing yourself.  The former leads to self-doubt, the later to self-improvement. We must observe ourselves to become aware of our limiting thoughts and behavior. The very things that stop us from loving ourselves enough to live authentically. Let the judgemen...

Morning Mantra: "You are not required to set yourself on fire to keep others warm." Boundaries are tough.   You will feel guilty, scared and apprehensive doing it.  But the truth is the only people who get upset with you for setting them, are the people who benefited from you having none. Frankly, I'd rather feel uncomfortable saying "No" than resent saying "Yes"...

Morning Mantra: "Step back and think again."  When you end up facing the same problems over and over again, it's time to look at things from a different perspective.  Whether it's relationship issues, problems with your job, or your health, you can't approach the solution with the same mindset that created the problem.  Quote: Einstein  #BeOpenToChangePerspectives #BeHappy...
