Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "Borrow someone else's light until your light can shine brightly again." Sometimes you need to hang onto some else's hope. Someone else's peace and sanity while yours is under siege. Strength, peace, and courage can all come and go when we are faced with trials. Let people know when yours are fading. Look for their light to guide you. Then, when you are abl...

Morning Mantra: "Your dream doesn't have an expiration date. Take a deep breath and try again. " Try. Try again. Try once more. Try differently. Try again tomorrow. Try and ask for help.

Morning Mantra: "Think less, feel more." When you find yourself faced with a decision stop over-thinking and instead see how you feel. Be still, get back to your breath, and turn inward. How do you FEEL about your choices? What is your body telling you? Are you relaxed? Tense? Anxious? Scared? At peace? Excited? Listen to your inner voice, that is your guide. That is your soul and it kno...

Morning Mantra: "Confidence isn't about knowing they like you, it's knowing you'll be fine if they don't." We've all met that person that we think exudes self-confidence, but many times what we see is not what really is.  There is a difference between confidence and arrogance. Confidence doesn't compare. Confidence is when you believe in yourself and your ab...

Morning Mantra: "Souls recognize each other by vibes not appearances"  We feel sometimes unexpectedly drawn to a certain person or animal, even though we cannot rationally explain why it happens. However, the soul has its own radar, which is based on intuition and a knowledge greater than ourselves. What we find in a soulmate is not something wild to tame, but something wild to run with....

Morning Mantra: “You cannot change the people around you, but you can change the people you choose to be around.” Your best efforts will never be enough if they are wasted on the wrong people.  Surround yourself with those that make you happy, that want to see you soar, that make you feel easy to love. #BePicky #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningM...

Morning Mantra: "The world exists as you perceive it." It's not what you see, but HOW you see it. It's not what you hear, but HOW you hear it. It's not what you do, but WHY you do it. These are all a reflection of where you were born, how you were raised, and who you think you are. To truly connect with another you must recognize that they perceive the world differently. ...

Morning Mantra: "Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you growing." The most important tool in your tool box for reaching your goals, is self-discipline.  Self discipline is essential to living life on your own terms. Living your best life takes a belief in yourself, it takes effort, determination, it takes sacrifice, and tenacity. Self-discipline is your ability to listen to...

Morning Mantra: “Stop shrinking yourself to fit places and people you have outgrown.” Life is all about growth. We grow through change, through challenges, through recognizing what’s important to us. Life is not meant to be stagnant. It’s meant to be fluid. That’s how we learn. That’s how we grow. If you leave a plant in a container that’s too small, it will become root bound. It will stop growing...

Morning Mantra: "No one is judging you as hard as you judge yourself." Think of yourself as your best friend. How would you treat her? Would you say those things to her? Would you criticize her the way you do yourself? Would you forgive her for her mistakes or hold them against her? Would you judge every. little. thing. she. does? Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for all you...

Morning Mantra: "Do your best with what you have, then trust and let things flow, without fear, resistance or a struggle for control." It takes more courage to let things flow than to strangle it with control. Letting go doesn't mean ignoring the situation.

Morning Mantra: “Be the reason that someone believes in the goodness of people.” The news media seems to only tell the bad and sad stories.

There are helpers, heroes, and generosity. When you feel overwhelmed with the nega...

As soon as you wake, find something new to be thankful for....

Morning Mantra: “Belonging doesn’t require us to change who we are, it requires us to BE who we are.” One of the most difficult things in our culture is to be able to be your authentic self. To not doubt who you are.  From an early age we feel the pressure to belong to this group or that group. This status or that. To fit in, conform, and change to please. To be who you truly are is scary, and wit...

Morning Mantra: "What if I fall?  Oh, my darling, What if you fly?" When we are afraid of change it is common to think of the "what ifs".  To only explore the scary "what ifs". If this is you, then challenge yourself to remember that there is also a flip side. The not so scary what ifs. What if I excel? What if it is one of the best experiences of my life? What if it...

Morning Mantra: "Practice the pause." Pause before judging. Pause before assuming. Pause before accusing. Pause whenever you are ready to react harshly. Pause when you are stressed. Pause when you are tired. Pause when you are in doubt. Practice the pause and you will avoid doing and saying things you'll regret later. #BeWillingToPause #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #MorningMantra #in...

Morning Mantra: "You make a life out of what you have not what is missing." If you are always wanting something that you don't have, you will live in a state of wanting.  A feeling of lack.

Morning Mantra: "The Universe has got your back"   Once you ask the Universe for what you want, step back, have a deep faith, and let it happen. Of course there might be actions you need to do, but there are also things you need to stop doing. Stop trying to control the means by which you get it.  Stop trying to force things to happen before their time. Stop trying to do it all yourself....

Morning Mantra: “Do you things from love, not for love.” No matter what you do, say, or give, you cannot MAKE someone love you. Real love flows freely in both directions. Be loving, give your love openly, deeply, completely. Then go where the love IS. We each have a limited amount of time and energy in life, don’t waste yours trying to force a relationship that’s not reciprocated. Instead, focus o...

Morning Mantra: "Look for the lessons"  Failure is a part of life. If you don't fail, you don't learn. If you don't learn, you never grow.   In every failure there is a message. Don't miss the message stressing over making a mistake.  #BeALearner #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspiratioalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Live without pretending. Love without depending. Listen without defending. Speak without offending." I call this mantra my "ending" reminder.  If I want my life to have less drama, hurt and miscommunication, I must "end" certain behaviors- or at least TRY to. My need to be someone that they want me to be. My need to depend on others for my happiness....
