Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "There is rarely anything new to be uncovered in the comfort of the familiar." Sometimes change looks like a negative on the surface but be patient and you will see it is creating space for something better to emerge. To learn, to grow, to see what we are made of, we must accept change. It can be frightening, often risky, and usually very uncomfortable when we venture far...

Morning Mantra: "We don't create abundance, it is always present.  We create limitations."   We limit our abundance with thoughts of Unworthiness. Disbelief. Fear. Embarrassment. Every beautiful thing you could want in your life the Universe (God) wants for you.  Has in store for you. The first thing we must acknowledge when we are seeking to improve our lives is the negative thinki...

Morning Mantra: "Namaste" This means that the light of goodness in me recognizes and honors the light of goodness in you.  When we meet in this place, we are one. What a wonderful way to see other people.  We ALL have goodness in us. Some of us are better at expressing it than others.  Some people are so broken they don't believe they have anything good to offer, but it's there...

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: "Look for the bright spots." Whatever may be going on in your life, there are always bright spots that you can find and build on them. Look closely, and you can find the positive possibilities in this moment, in this situation.  Focus your energy on the good things you can do now, and the good will grow. Though many circumstances may not be perfect, there are perfectly go...

Morning Mantra: "It's not how much we have, but how much we enjoy it, that makes us happy." Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they didn't find it, but because they never stopped to enjoy it.  Joy isn't just found in big events or accomplishments.  It's found in the little moments that slip by unless we make a point to notice. You miss them be...

Morning Mantra: "Wherever you go, there you are."   You can try to hide when you are facing an ugly truth about yourself, your past, or your relationship. You can try to avoid facing your truth with booze, drugs, shopping, exercise, work, or eating. You will feel better for awhile, but it's still there. Nothing goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.  You can't r...

Morning Mantra: "Vibes speak louder than words." Have you every met someone and felt like you've known them forever?  Or maybe you met someone and knew you wanted to spend your entire life WITHOUT them? This is an energy exchange.  We are all an energy collective.  So what you put out into the world individually, affects the whole. If you sense that someone is fake, dishonest, or a...

Morning Mantra: "Your beliefs don’t make you a better person, your behavior does.” You can choose to believe whatever you wish. Just remember, your entire life is directed by what you believe. Every belief either includes, excludes, divides or connects.  What beliefs will your behavior reflect? If you are not happy with your behavior, change your beliefs. #BeOnGoodBehavior #BeHappy #BeHorsey...

Morning Mantra: "Just because someone carries it well, doesn't mean it isn't heavy." Everyone is dealing with the stress of this pandemic differently. You may know or meet someone that acts like everything is great, they don't have a care in the world. Ask how they are anyway. Send a card, pay for lunch, call for no reason. We are so conditioned to be "fine" that...

Morning Mantra: "It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to make you happy." Every now and then it's good to take a long look at your life. Are you happy?  Are you inspired?  Are you making choices that bring you closer to the best version of you? Pay attention to who you're with when you feel your best. Then be with them. The worst thing in life isn't ending up al...

Morning Mantra: "Hope and fear can't occupy the same space."  Respond to life from a perspective of hope and your response will have the power to welcome the unknown. When we hope we give ourselves the future which makes the present inhabitable. Hope is a conviction.  Not the conviction of everything turning out perfect, but one that understands no matter how things turn out, we wil...

Morning Mantra: "If you only say one prayer each day, let it be one of thanks." Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude.  It is a verbal recognition of all the good in your life. Developing an attitude of gratitude is not passive, it requires practice.  It's like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it grows. The more you are grateful, the more you attract things to be tha...

Morning Mantra: "No, is a complete sentence." It may sound strange, but one of the most positive things you can do is to say “No” when necessary.  The ability to say “No” is directly related to your confidence in yourself. If you say it, don't offer reasons and excuses, you don't need one. When you don’t learn to say “No", you get spread too thin trying to be all things to...

Morning Mantra: "Making mistakes is better than faking perfection." Don’t hide from your mistakes or pretend they didn’t happen. Own them, embrace them, celebrate them, learn from them and get better because of what you take from them. When you discover a mistake, you’ve found a  path for improvement, for growth.  When you eagerly admit your mistakes and deal with them in a positive mann...

Morning Mantra: "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." Do you really need to do, say, possess, defend all the things you think you need to? Are there useless, even destructive, parts of your life so familiar you’re afraid to let them go? Invest some time in a space quiet enough to hear your soul whisper. Step away from the frenzy and remind...

Morning Mantra: "Some see a weed and some see a wish."  Perspective is everything.  It can be your prison or your passport. Since we do not see things as they are, we see things as we are, we need to make sure we are open to the idea of a different perspective. What feels like the end, could be a beginning. What looks like nowhere could be now here. What feels like a mistake could be a l...

Morning Mantra: "Character isn't revealed by promises made, but by promises kept."  We are often so hopeful that someone cares, or is sorry about hurting us, that we are desperate to believe them when they make promises. But the truth isn't found in their words.  Their love isn't found in what they say.  Words are cheap.  Words can be crafted to speak to our most vulnerabl...

Morning Mantra: "If you keep doing what you are doing, you'll keep getting what you're getting."  The limitations we set for ourselves must be recognized so we can push beyond them.  To transcend limitations and form positive new patterns in life based on who you know you can be, we must give up the modes of thinking, feeling and behaving that come from our perceived limitation...

Morning Mantra: “The greatest prison people live in is the fear of what other people think.”  Yes, it’s like a prison, because when you stop caring, you are free. Free from trying to change for them. Free from worrying about how you are perceived. Free to be yourself. Free to live how you want. You will be judged no matter who you are, what you think, and how you live, so you might as well do it y...

Morning Mantra: "A day of worrying is more exhausting than a day of work." Do you ever feel overwhelmed? Stressed out? Tired?  Do you feel like there’s so much that needs to be done, so many things pulling you down? It can be discouraging and frustrating when you’re stressing over things beyond your control. How can you cope? The secret is -- do what you can, where you are. Let go of you...

Morning Mantra: "This life is mine alone. So I have stopped asking people for directions to places they've never been." We are so used to not listening to our own voice that we will ask everyone we know for answers to life's hard questions. The problem with that is they don't know what's right for you. They have not and will not experience life like you.  Only you can...

Morning Mantra: "You will never be too much for someone that can't get enough of you." If you have to tame yourself to be loved, leave.  If you have to convince someone that you matter, then you don't. People may not always tell you how they feel but they will show you.  Keeping a space in your heart for someone that doesn't want to be in it will never convince them to mak...

Morning Mantra: "Your ego is not your amigo so drop the 'E' and let it go." Your ego is not who you really are.  It is your social image.  The mask you wear in public, the role you play. Your ego thrives on approval, it wants control, and is sustained by power because it originates from fear. Your ego is strong enough to stop you from saying things your heart is dying to say li...

Morning Mantra: "If you don't prove your doubts wrong, they will prove themselves right."  Have your doubts become too comfortable? This happens because it’s easier to doubt than it is to do.  When you doubt that you can accomplish something, the doubt gives you a nice, comfortable place to hide, a reason for not making the effort. Yet if you keep piling up one doubt on top of anoth...
