Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "Happiness is now." As long as you keep preparing to be happy, you will not be. If you continue to see happiness as some distant goal to be reached, you will not experience it. Happiness doesn't start when this, that or the other thing is resolved.  The only time you can ever experience it is the moment that you are in. Happiness isn't found outside yourself, ha...

Morning Mantra: "In peace you hear the calling of your deepest purpose."  Let your life be a place where peace can be. Release thoughts of conflict, judgment, and separateness that push peace away.  Replace thoughts of hostility and resentment with thoughts of understanding and forgiveness. Release your need to be right. Seek achievement with a peaceful heart by accepting the timing of y...

Morning Mantra: "This too shall pass." Every situation in life is temporary. So, when things are going good, make sure you enjoy and receive life fully.  When things are not so good, remember it will not last forever, and better days are ahead.  Life is what we make of it, and knowing that it is ever changing offers us hope in the difficult times.  #BeAcceptingOfTheChangesInLife  #BeHapp...

Morning Mantra: "Give every day the chance to be beautiful." Start your day by handing over your worries and allowing yourself to experience what life feels like without fear. Surrender any anger or resentments you have and decide you will be kind in all your interactions. Look for opportunities to open your mind through learning about something new. Count your blessings. The quality of...

Morning Mantra: "Nothing changes if nothing changes." When you’re stuck, there is a way out, as much as there may not seem to be. Stop focusing on being stuck and you’ll begin to see what that way out can be. The way to get beyond being stuck is to get beyond what is keeping you there. What that means is that there is something you must change. Yes, change can be frightening and change c...

Morning Mantra: "Miracles happen everyday."  When we think of miracles it is human nature to start to doubt.  Our thinking minds (our egos) take over and we live from fear. The ego (our mind/thoughts) wants to step in and control things because it lacks the faith of our heart and soul.  Acknowledging our fear shines light on it, it allows us to find our way back to faith and love. The eg...

Morning Mantra: "The words I AM are statements to the Universe." Affirmations do not work if they are merely statements of what you WANT to be true.  They only work when they are statements of something you already KNOW to be true. For example, 'I want to be healthy' puts you in a state of wanting. 'I am going to get healthy' puts you in charge.  You now can follow up...

Morning Mantra: "I can't see the haters." What does someone gain by making other people feel like sh*t? A fleeting moment of power? How do you respond to mean people? Being mean back at them won't do anything to change the situation because it doesn't show them an alternative way to be.  They hurt you because they are hurting inside.  Show them compassion.  Show them grace...

Morning Mantra: "Your life is a product of your choices."  Ask yourself: are you living the life you choose? The answer is...Yes! Because what you are, what you have, and what you do are all the result of choices you have made.  You are where you are right now because of what you have chosen.  If you don’t like where you are, you can waste a lot of time, effort and energy blaming someone...

Morning Mantra: “Detach yourself from wanting to be understood.” Keep in mind that every person you come in contact with today has a perspective that is different than yours.  No one else knows exactly what you know.  No other person shares your unique set of experiences, just as you do not share the exact same experiences as anyone else.  And that's okay. Those who get you, get you.  Those t...

Morning Mantra: "Celebrate YOU everyday."  Why do we only celebrate how awesome we are on our birthdays?  Why do we feel we have to have only one day to shine?  Just think, the same God that created all the beauty in the world, also created you.  Each and every one of us deserves to be appreciated, respected, honored, and loved.   If no one else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yoursel...

Morning Mantra: “Stop fighting battles with people that are at war with themselves.” Some people love drama even if it costs them their jobs, their marriage and their relationships. You don’t have to attend the performance though. Disengage with those that are invested in the conflict but not the resolution. #BeProtectiveOfYourEnergy #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #morningmantra #inspirationalquotes...

Morning Mantra: "You might not be where you want to be, but you aren't where you used to be either." It's all about what you choose to focus on. Give yourself credit for everything you are doing right, not criticism for things you are doing wrong. When you look at things with an eye on how far you've come, it gives you the strength to keep on going.  If you focus on how fa...

Morning Mantra: "Go easy on yourself.  Whatever you do today, let it be enough." Times are tough for many and this can make you feel defeated.   If you are doing the best you can to cope with all the chaos, and there is still anxiety and fear, try these simple things: >Journal every day.  Writing down your feelings and seeing them on the page, can help diminish their power. > Focus...

Morning Mantra: "Now and then it's a good idea to pause in your pursuit of happiness and to just be happy."  Many people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it.   We have had a few months to see how less busy feels. Did you fill the space with more busyness? Or have you done things that you always thought you did...

Morning Mantra: "It's always something." The quickest way to inner peace is accepting the fact that life is solving one problem after another, learning from it, and moving on. If you think there is a life without issues, there's not.  No one avoids this fact. You get the car fixed and the dog gets sick.  You manage to pay off the vet bill and you get stuck in a two hour traffic...

Morning Mantra: "Now is filled with everything there is, and it's more than you can imagine."  Quiet your thoughts, release your limitations, and feel the pure energy of life. Here... now.   When you are present, in the moment, you can release the burdens of past mistakes and the anxiety about the future. The present moment- right here- right now- is all we really have.   We can cho...

Morning Mantra: "Your perception of the world is a reflection of your state of consciousness."  One of the best ways to become more self aware is to take a personal inventory on a regular basis. Not an inventory of your money or material things, but an inventory of you. Start with your past accomplishments. Look back over your life and find five or six times when you did something really...

Morning Mantra: "Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have." The most important relationship you have is the one you have with yourself.   If you are too busy holding on to your unworthiness, then you don't have time to explore your awesomeness.  Let it go.  Treat yourself like you would a good friend; kind, caring, forgiving. Love yourself...

Morning Mantra: "Interrupt anxiety with gratitude." Don't believe every worried thought you have for they have a reputation of being inaccurate.    Replace them with thoughts of gratitude.  Even if the only thing you can think of to be thankful for is that you are able to recognize your thoughts.   Becoming self-aware is the first step in healing anything and everything in your mind...

Morning Mantra: "Faith and fear both demand that you believe in something you cannot see."  You get to choose which one you want to believe.    Faith is seeing the light with your heart.   Fear is seeing the darkness with your mind.  Faith believes that in spite of the circumstances, someday everything will make perfect sense.  So for now, tolerate the confusion, smile through the tears,...

Morning Mantra: "Just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean it isn't so."  We all desperately want to be understood, but find it difficult to be understanding.  Understanding is deeper than knowledge.  You can be educated on the facts of a situation, but still not truly understand it.  This is probably because most people cannot fully understand something until it...

Morning Mantra: "No one gets to tell you who you are." You are not defined by someone else's partial view of your life, your strengths, or your history.  Their inability to only see or appreciate their version of you does not limit you, only them.  No one should let other people bully or pressure them into being less than they are.  Don't dilute yourself to fit their narrative....

Morning Mantra: "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." {MLKJr}  In order to change the narrative we must face it.  In order to make a difference we must not be silent.   This doesn't mean you must get angry.  This doesn't mean you must become confrontational.  That usually just makes the unenlightened dig their heels in deeper. I believe, yo...

Morning Mantra: "Patience Grasshopper."  You must learn to trust the process because your time is coming. Have patience.  Patience is a form of wisdom.  It demonstrates that we understand and accept the fact that sometimes things must unfold in their own time. Patience is difficult sometimes, but the reward is so sweet. #BePatient #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHIppie #HorseHippie  #Morningmantra...
