Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "Some talk to you in their free time, and some free their time to talk to you. Learn the difference." People may not always tell you how they feel, but they will certainly show you.   When they tell you they are too busy, it's not a reflection of their schedule, it's a reflection of your spot on their schedule. Be with those that make you a priority not an optio...

Morning Mantra: "Live your life forward."  The past is just that, passed.  So look forward, live forward.  Think of all the things you can do today that will make tomorrow better.  Think that way, and then act on your thoughts, day after day after day and create the future you desire.  #BeAForwardLooker #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #morningmantra  #inspirationalquotes  #horsehippieboutiq...

Morning Mantra: "There are two types of tired; one that requires rest, and one that requires peace." If you are tired of being tired, ask yourself why you feel so tired. If there are not physical reason for your exhaustion, then maybe you are mentally tired. Tired of being sad. Tired of being alone. Tired of pretending. Tired of being angry. Tired of feeling stuck. Tired of remembering....

Morning Mantra: "You are brave. You are strong. You are capable. You got this." Anyone that has achieved anything started by believing that they were capable of more.  That they were strong enough to overcome any obstacles that got in the way. That they were brave enough to go for it. That they were worthy of receiving it. It's never too late to start living the life you desire.  Ne...

Morning Mantra: "People who feel the need to control others don't have control over themselves." Power is not controlling others through manipulation, criticism, and guilt.  Trying to control other people is the first sign that you are out of control. Controlling others is what weak people think power looks like. Power is controlling yourself.  Knowing how to handle your own thought...

Morning Mantra: "Choose people that choose you." Would you waste your time watering a dead plant when you could use that energy on something that is just waiting to grow? We do this all the time with relationships.  We spend our time and energy trying to revive something that has run it's course and is no longer serving our best self. You can pour all your love into a relationship w...

Morning Mantra: “When one forgives, two souls are set free.”  People will hurt each other. Intentionally. Unintentionally. Regretfully or not. Forgiveness can be very difficult.  At times it feels more painful to forgive the person, than the wound we actually suffered.   And yet there is no true peace without forgiveness. #BeForgiving #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #MorningMantras #InspirationalQuot...

Morning Mantra: Replace  “Why is this happening to me?” With “What is this teaching me?” You will never learn how to be brave, unless you feel fear. You will never learn what not to do, if you never make mistakes.  You will never reach your dreams, unless you learn how to overcome failure.  Life is all about learning and growing. It’s the purpose of the journey. It becomes a whole lot easier when...

Morning Mantra: “Being unique is better than being perfect.”  Why not view your quirks and differences as things to be celebrated? Can you imagine a world where we were all the same?  Becoming comfortable in your own skin takes time but oh, the freedom you get, is so worth it!!  #BeUniquelyYou. #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #morningmantra #inspirationalquotes #horsehippie #horsehippieboutique

Morning Mantra: “Listen to your own voice, before you listen to others.” Growth is listening to what people say to you with understanding that they are speaking from their perspective, not yours. From their experiences, not yours. From their reality, not yours. From their knowledge, not yours. It’s good to get input from others, just don’t let it drown out your inner voice. #BeAGoodListener #BeHap...

Morning Mantra: “No is a complete sentence.” Ever wonder why we feel the need to offer a reason when we can’t do something for someone? Saying ‘No” is an art. You don’t need to over explain. You don’t need to lie. You don’t need to offer an excuse. Anyone that gets upset with you, or expects you to always say ‘Yes” doesn’t respect your boundaries.  You have to learn to say No without the guilt. Yo...

Morning Mantra: "In stillness you can remember who you are." In stillness you gain perspective. In stillness you connect to purpose. In stillness you connect to yourself. In today's world, if you want, every waking hour can be filled with information, entertainment, stimulation, and excitement. But is this your best choice? Give yourself time and space for contemplation. Give yourse...

Morning Mantra: "You don't have to prove anything to anyone."  You are awesome.  You are worthy.   You matter.   Don't waste your precious time trying to convince anyone else of these things.   Learn to be okay with people not knowing your side of the story.   #BeOkWithNotBeingUnderstood  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippie #HorseHippie...

Morning Mantra: "The route to your goal is not a straight line." Each curve or dead end provides an opportunity to rethink and recover. And each time you recover, you grow stronger. There will be many times along the way when you find yourself off course. When that happens, it can seem like your destination is unreachable.  Doubt, fear and apathy will take hold if you let them. The key i...

Morning Mantra: “Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different.” It’s enjoying the pleasant with out clinging to it when it changes (which it will). Being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t). Mindfulness helps us be aware and step away from our automatic, and sometimes misguided, reactions to every day...

Morning Mantra: "Freedom is the oxygen of the soul."  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 choose happin...

Morning Mantra: "Stop stopping yourself." Yes, the world will throw all sorts of difficult challenges your way. But you can find a way to overcome every one of them. You must choose to do so. You must make the commitment, deep within yourself, to live with joy and purpose despite what obstacles present themselves. See that the your doubts and limiting beliefs are of no use to you. Choose...

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: "Never let any feeling become your identity." You are not your feelings. Your thoughts create your feelings. You just experience them. Feelings come and go, so do not let any one feeling become who you THINK you are. YOU are not depressed- you FEEL depressed. YOU are not sadness, hate, anger, fear or unlovable. These are emotions you go through.  When you walk in the rain...

Morning Mantra: “You are the greatest project that you will ever work on.” There are no limits to what you can accomplish except the limits you place in your own thinking.  Every day you are either growing into more, or retreating into less. Keep moving, keep improving, keep discovering. #BeTheBestYouCanBe #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotiva...

Morning Mantra: “You are constantly being given two blessings; time and choices.” The first step in making better choices is to simply be brutally honest about your own behavior to yourself. What are the choices you are making? How are you spending your time? Take control of how you use your choices, by using your time appreciating your life. Choose to focus on what’s good, not what’s lacking. Cho...

Morning Mantra: "When you let things slide to 'keep the peace' around you, make sure you are not ignoring the peace within you." Keeping the peace does not mean keeping secrets, walking on eggshells, pretending things are healthy when they are not,  ignoring their poor choices, tip toeing around the truth, or making yourself small. Agreeing to things just to keep the peace is a...

Morning Mantra: "Your life should be something you enjoy, not something you have to endure." Your life belongs to you. It's not selfish to want the best for yourself.  It's not selfish to ask, "What am I getting out of this?", and if the answer is, "Not much.", it's not selfish to want that to change. It's honorable to be humble, supportive, caring...

Morning Mantra: “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it.” You are not stuck. You have choices. You can rise up from anything.  You can completely re-create yourself. You can think new thoughts.  You can learn something new. You can create new habits. All that matters is that you decide to, and never look back. #BeWillingToStartAgain #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #...

Morning Mantra: “You can’t be bitter, and expect your life to be sweet.”  Attitude is everything.  Life is always going to throw you a curve ball every now and then. It’s how you react to them that determines your happiness.  The great thing is that YOU get to decide what that will be!  So take a swing and hit it out of the park!  Image: photograph from front cover of Pam Billinge’s inspirational...
