Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "Let go of the need to manage people's perception of you." People have the right to their opinion, and you have the right to ignore it.  Besides, just because they have an opinion doesn't make their opinion right.  Remember that they aren't you.  They have no REAL idea how you think, what lenses you view things through, what guides you. Trust yourself not t...

Morning Mantra: "Speak what you seek, until you receive what you've said." New Year's Eve is a great time to think about what you'd like to manifest in the coming year. Write each one down, speak them into your phone, then read them out each morning, and listen to them before bed each night. Create a vision board to clarify. Start a gratitude journal to keep your vibration...

Morning Mantra: "Be the reason that someone believes in the goodness of people."  Wherever there is a person in need, there is an opportunity for kindness and to make a difference. So today, find those opportunities. Pay for someone's coffee. Smile at everyone you meet. Deliver some cookies to a fire house. Call someone you miss. Cook a meal for a shut in. Donate to a charity. Volun...

Morning Mantra: "Life is what you make it. Always has been. Always will be." Life isn't happening to you, it is responding to you. Life isn't about what you are given, it's about what you give. It's not about what you take, but what you create. It's not only what you achieve, but what you overcome to get there. It's not always perfect, but it's always w...

Morning Mantra: "Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me." Today we celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace. What that means to each of us is as different as we are, but the one universally embraced message from Jesus is that of love. That God is love. That we are love. That we should shine our light of love on everyone we meet and in everything we do. To my beautiful Ho...

Morning Mantra: "Let you faith be stronger than your fear." Today is the Winter Solstice and the perfect time to reconnect with your faith. It's so much easier to be consumed by fear, it's everywhere we look. It fills our news feeds. We fear rejection. We fear failure. We fear the unknown. It drives our behavior. What is fear really?  It's just our thoughts about these thi...

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: "Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn, and you will." There is extraordinary value in knowledge, but there is also value in what you don't know. For in the unknown, there are possibilities that have no restrictions. When you have a desire to learn, your imagination has no limits. Though learning something new can be frightening, it can also...

Morning Mantra: "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Would you like to have more peace in your life? Then start creating more. Instead of jumping at the chance to be offended, choose patience and a desire to understand.  Rather than filling your thoughts with resentment, fill your heart with forgiveness. When things don’t go your way, see it not as...

Morning Mantra: "It's always something"   The sooner you accept the fact that there will always be issues, problems, and set backs in your life, and adjust your attitude, the sooner you will find peace and happiness. Everyone has something they want to change, make better, do differently.   When we don’t allow life’s challenges to defeat us they become opportunities for grace.  #BeA...

Morning Mantra: "When we give our light to others, we naturally light our own way." It is the season of giving.  Giving gifts.  Giving money.  Giving time.  Giving attention. When we give we offer a little bit of ourselves to others, but we receive as well.  We receive more knowledge about ourselves, more awareness of what means to love others. The cool thing about giving is that everyon...

Morning Mantra: "You deserve a beautiful life." This time of year can make people feel lonely and unwanted.  Add Covid on top and it's a heavy load. I don't know who needs to hear this but if your mind is telling you that no one cares or that you're not needed, don't let your mind win. YOU. ARE. SO. LOVABLE. YOU. ARE. NEEDED. YOU. ARE. WORTHY. Be proud of the silent b...

Morning Mantra: "Come out of your shell"  Much of life’s beauty comes from being a part of something larger than yourself.  If you confine yourself inside a tight, impenetrable shell, you miss the best opportunities for fulfillment and enrichment.  Multiply your joy, multiply your opportunities for learning, multiply your love.  Live beyond yourself, where it’s not all about you, get out...

Morning Mantra: "Dream one size too big." If your dreams don't scare you, challenge you, inspire you and motivate you, they aren't big enough. Your dreams matter.  What doesn't matter is what others think of it. How long it takes to reach it. How hard you have to work to get it. Go ahead and shoot for the moon, and if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars. #BeABigDr...

Morning Mantra: "If you want to grow, heal, and evolve, you have to let go of wanting to be liked." Not everyone is going to like you and that's okay. When you are embodying your true authentic self, it creates fear in people who still operate from their ego. If you don't learn to like yourself as you are, you will spend your life looking for that approval from others. In reali...

Morning Mantra: "When the surface is wavy, dive deeper for quieter waters." When everything is moving too fast, the pressure is piling on, and you are ready to explode, find stillness. The best thing to counter chaos is to find your way to the quiet sanctuary within you. Slow down, take a deep breath. Become fully aware of your breath entering and leaving your body. Be a silent watcher o...

Morning Mantra: "The best way to achieve big goals is to take small steps."  When you start working towards a goal it can be overwhelming.  So overwhelming that we quit. What if you break that huge goal down into micro goals? Want to run a 10K but can't get off the couch? Start walking to the mailbox and back.  Then add to the end of the street. And add a little further each time it...

Morning Mantra: "Learn to accept help when it's offered, and to offer help when it's needed." Some people aren't good at asking for help because they have always be the helper. Throughout their life they've experienced an unbalanced give and take, so their instinct is usually to figure it out on their own. If that's you, recognize that asking for help is actually...

Morning Mantra: "Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing." Don't believe that dreaming is a waste of time for dreams are your reality waiting to happen. You are never too old, too young, too poor, too sick, or too uneducated, to follow your dreams.  There are no expiration dates, no rules, no limitations at all. The only limits are the ones we create. As long as...

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 insi...

Morning Mantra: "Those who take the time to find fault in others, rarely make time to correct their own." What do you gain from trying to make others feel bad? Nothing of substance. Maybe a fleeting moment of power, but that disappears as quickly as it came. If you don't like what someone says, ignore it. If you don't like their clothes, don't sweat it, you don't have...

Morning Mantra: "Faith is moving forward even when things don't make sense."  Sometimes when things don't work out the way you had planned, it is actually leading you away from problems that you couldn't predict, and towards amazing things you can not yet imagine. Even though it is hard to at the time, you have to believe that something better is coming, that the Universe...

Morning Mantra: "Be the good."  Don't let what you cannot do stand in the way of what you can do.   Every little thing helps.  Start with your own little world; make it peaceful, make it loving, make it kind, make it happy.   If everyone started with their own lives and their own vibe and changed it for the good, think of how much positive energy there would be in the world!  #BeThe...

Morning Mantra: "You never fail until you stop trying." A failure is never a mistake, it simply means you are trying something new or different to you.  It means you did the best you could do under the circumstances, with the knowledge you had. The real mistake is to stop trying.  So here's a shout out to those trying to do the right thing. Trying to stay open. Trying to keep going....

Morning Mantra: "When raindrops come a tumbling, remember you're the one that can fill the world with sunshine." Instead of looking out, seeing the rain and complaining about it, why not brighten the day with your own personal sunshine? We all have in us the capacity to be joyful, positive and bright. We all can offer little rays of sunshine to others through our words, our deeds an...
