Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

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.  Inner stillness is the key to outer strength.So slow down, take a deep breath.Become fully aware of your breath entering and leaving your body.Be a silent watcher of your thoughts.Within you is a stillness that you can retreat to when the world is too noisy.  Learn how to cultivate that space.Remember- you are the stillness beneath the noise.You are the love and joy beneath the struggle.#BeStill  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotesQuote: Kristin Armstrong and Eckhart Tolle

Morning Mantra: "Replace 'I have to...' with 'I get to...' and see how your day changes." Most of your stress is self-created.  It comes from the way you respond to things, not the way life actually is.One simple way to help change this is to change your perspective about things you must do in your life.Instead of saying, "I HAVE to go to work", try saying "I GET to go to work."Instead of, "I HAVE to make dinner", try saying, "I GET to make dinner."Instead of, "I HAVE to work out ", try "I GET to work out."Instead of "I HAVE to walk my dog, try "I GET to walk my dog."For when you see your responsibilities as privileges that are not afforded to all, your attitude will change.You will see things that normally cause you stress, as blessings.You will develop an attitude of gratitude.And gratitude changes everything.#BeWillingToChangeYourPerspective #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Joy is less about what happens to us and more about what we intentionally invite into our lives."Joy exists inside all of us.We just have to nurture it until it becomes our natural default setting more often than not.Cultivating joy doesn't mean pretending life is easy. It means making room for things that make us feel alive such as movement, fresh air, horses, sunshine, and spending times with people we love.Cultivating joy means letting go of some of the exhausting behaviors we think we need to use as adults and allowing ourselves to become childlike again.To laugh loudly and freely.To dance for no reason.To notice bugs and butterflies with awe.To walk in the grass barefoot.To hug tightly.To nap when we are tired and not feel guilty about it.The next time you've lost your joy, think about a child discovering something magical. Then cultivate that feeling.#BeJoyFilled  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutiqueAdapted from Aging Disgracefully

Morning Mantra: "Always remember you are BRAVER than you believe, STRONGER than you seem, SMARTER than you think, and more BEAUTIFUL than you ever imagined."We are what we think we are - that's how powerful our thoughts can be.  They are the architects of our self image, our actions and our life.So if you change the way you think, you can change your life.   Think good thoughts about yourself.  Think about a time you were brave.Think about a time you were strong.Think of how you worked something out.Think how lucky you are to be here now.Think about things you are grateful for.Think about ways you help others.Think about how good life can be.#BeCarefulOfHowYouThink  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "As you age you'll find the biggest regrets are the things you didn't do."Your 80 year old self doesn't wish you had been more perfect.  She wishes you had been more honest about what you wanted, and brave enough to build your life around it.In our country we tend to focus on how we look and what we own thanks to a consumer driven culture.  They NEED us to buy their stuff so they promote those ideals.  Chasing dreams into nature, living simply but happy, and showing yourself some grace about your looks don't sell products.But as you age the things that really matter become much clearer.  I have discovered that I can love myself if I'm 20 lbs more than I thought was my ideal weight and that I enjoy my meals more because I am not eliminating my favorite foods to stay thin.I have discovered that being in nature, with my horse and/or my dog brings me more pleasure than chasing points at a horse show.  In the past I thought to be  relevant meant I had to be competing.I have stopped apologizing for being loud, talking a lot, and having a busy brain.  Sure, I am still aware of the impact of my behavior and work on things, but I am who I am and I have spent far too much of my life trying to be someone else. Don't wait until you're old to discover your bliss and to build your life around it.  Don't settle for a life that doesn't make you excited about the new day. Be brave in pursuit of it. You won't regret it.#BeHonestWithYourself #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Show me how good it gets and how easy it can be."The Universe is energy.  Your attitude puts you in a certain frequency.  Negative, grumpy, ungrateful thoughts will keep you in a low vibration.  Positive thoughts and intentions will have you in a higher one.Positive begets positive.  You attract what you put out.  So start the day, and throughout the day, send out high vibrations of love, gratitude, and authenticity.Find little things to say "Thanks" for.  How good your morning coffee or tea tastes.  The sound of the birds singing outside.  The warmth of the sun or refreshment of the rain.  Take time and really enjoy your food.  Notice small glimmers of joy throughout the day.  If you  get pulled into a negative state try to become aware of it and quickly let it go.  Breathe through it, refocus and try to not let it sabotage your day.It's a mindset.  It's a lifestyle.  #BeAPositiveVibration #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "What screws us up the most in life is the picture in our head of how it's supposed to be.”  The best way to avoid unhappiness is to simply allow life to not be perfect.The quickest way to achieve inner peace is to accept the world as it is. Tires will go flat, people will disrespect you, and things will happen for no logical reason.   That is life.Take a deep breath, smile, and know that all is well because you have the strength to handle it. Just try not to think life is not working out for you.  Maybe it's not what you thought right now but it's still pretty darn good.  Find something to love about today.  Just as it is.#BeAcceptingOfLifeAsItIs #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Once you accept your flaws, no one can use them against you."  Self-acceptance, self-love.  Both truly necessary for happiness.  Both very difficult to do at times.Owning your story and loving yourself through the process is the bravest thing you'll ever do.  It takes courage to face your darkness and find a way to shine your light. We are quick to judge ourselves as unworthy, not good enough, unlovable.  But I say THIS. IS. ME.  Take me as I am.Just be yourself and let people see the real, quirky, imperfect, flawed, beautiful and magical person you are.  Then go out and SHINE.#BeASelfLover #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalquotes Quotes:  Peter Dinglage and Brene Brown

Morning Mantra: "Breathe. You got this."  For whoever needs this today….Life can feel overwhelming at times. Just try and keep it in perspective and remember...You don't have to figure it out today.You don't have to solve your whole life tonight.You don't have to tackle everything at once.You just have to show up and try.You just have to focus on the moment in front of you.Things will get better.Things will get done.Just breathe and trust you will figure it out. Just breathe and believe in the power of hope.#BePatientWithYourself #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #Horsehippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotesImage: Jacolien Frens

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 lesson.What feels like a mountain could be a hill.What looks like a long journey could be a first step.The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation, but rather how you view it.  Don't go through life thinking the only perspective that matters is your own.Everyone has a point of view.#BeWillingToConsiderYourPerspective  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "If you stumble, make it part of the dance."  A mistake that makes you humble is as valuable as an achievement.  It teaches you to laugh at yourself.  To be real and to show you're human.It shows others that you are trying.  It's safer to not try something new and eliminate the risk of a "stumble" but that's not living.Letting people see your "stumble" (and recovery) helps them relate to you because everyone on earth has tripped a few times.So, don't worry about it because the greatest mistake you could ever make, is being too afraid you'll make one.#BeGoodAtStumbling  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotesQuote: River Maria Urke

Morning Mantra: "Beauty is a light that shines from the heart."   In this superficial culture we live in, we are quick to determine someone's value by how they look.  Let's switch that.  Let's start by complimenting others on their thoughts, words, actions, and progress.Let's stop comparing ourselves to others based on looks too.Choose self love over self judgement.Choose to be who you are without apologizing for any part of your appearance.Choose to shine your beautiful light of love out into the world.Remember, when you judge a book by it's cover you might miss out on an amazing story. #BeLessJudgey #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Always focus on how far you've come instead of how far you have to go." There is a big difference between going slow and stopping completely. Even if you're making just a little bit of progress, that's better than being at a standstill or falling behind.Always checking for the finish line can be defeating when you are making smaller steps than you want to, so look back at all you've accomplished instead.  It's a weird phenomenon how humans like to focus on what is NOT happening instead of what they have done already.Flip the narrative in your head and forge ahead- moving at whatever pace you can, and whenever you start doubting how far you can go,  look back and remember how far you've come.#BeProudOfYourProgress  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #Horsehippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "I am growing and healing."   We are all a work in progress. No matter who you are, or where you are, there is always an area of your life that can be better.Every day brings with it the opportunity for improvement.No life is without it's challenges and moments of pain.  We must learn to accept this fact and see them as opportunities for growth.  If we try to spare ourselves from temporary struggles by not addressing them, we end up throwing away the precious moments that could be spent growing, healing and fulfilling our incredible possibilities.Instead of looking at your challenges and pain as defects, try to find fulfillment in living through them, and in using their energy to help you discover the best version of you.#BeWliingToGrowAndHeal  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "The truth will always be the truth, even if no one believes it.  A lie is still a lie, even if everyone believes it."    You can try to cover it up, explain it away, run from it or rationalize against it, but in the end, if you go against the truth, you will lose. Lies, deceit, half truths, rationalizations and justifications must constantly be defended. The truth remains the truth whether it is defended or not.The truth you hide from yourself, prevents you from growth and fulfillment. The truth you hide from others, keeps you apart.#BeOnTheSideOfTheTruth  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "90% of success in life is just showing up." We are so used to instant gratification in this society that we sometimes forget that the only true way to reach your dreams is through good old fashion work.  It doesn't hurt to be smart, resourceful, or well connected, yet what matters most to any achievement is simply showing up and doing the work.Great big wonderful things are built by adding together small acts of hard work. Yet, many people fail to reach their dreams because they don't want to do is required, so they give up.  They don't want to build on anything, they want it now!Got a dream to chase?Seek the work, embrace the work and do the work. #BeAWorker #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "We are all fragments of one light source."    If it wasn't apparent before, it should be very obvious now in the age of technology .....we are all in this together.  Each and every one of us is interconnected to each and every one of us. The vibration of each person is joined with that of others.  Each one of us shares the responsibility to lift each other up, to vibrate at our highest frequency, from love. It is tragic to see some people acting in a way that is only in their best interest.  Acting on everyone's best interest is truly in YOUR best interest.   Your journey in life is to create your best self, in the perfect image of God.   So if you find it difficult at times to love and care about everyone, maybe you can at least cause no harm?  Your best self will thank you.#BeAwareOfYourConnection  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "In a world full of chaos, be soft rain."  There are therapeutic benefits to a nice long rain.  Not just for the Earth, but for us as well.  It is a steady presence that nourishes, calms and replenishes.Studies have found that when the sound of rain enters a person's brain, the brain unconsciously relaxes and produces alpha waves, which are very close to the state of the brain when a human sleeps.When rain occurs, it causes the soil and plants to release a chemical called petrichor. This chemical is responsible for “the smell of rain” and can help some people feel calm and at ease.So, when the world feels harsh and chaotic, think of soft rain.  Be soft rain.#BeSoftRain  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "If you avoid conflict to keep the peace, you've started a war with yourself." As hard as it is, and believe me I KNOW it's hard, but you must speak your truth.  As difficult as confrontation is, you must not swallow your feelings to avoid it.Avoiding conflict IS conflict.The trick is to learn HOW to say your truth so it will be heard and received.How to confront without causing a defensive reaction.Healthy adults talk about their problems and look for solutions.  When people hurt them, they communicate with compassion, directly and tactfully.You cannot change what you refuse to confront. So go gently in the direction of speaking your truth.#BeWillingToSpeakYourTruth  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #morningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "You don't end up with a meaningful life, you create one."   Life is not something that HAS meaning, it's something we GIVE meaning to.Try to pay attention to what inspires you.  It is the Universe trying to communicate with you, that's why it's called inspiration- "in-spirit."Listen to it, believe it, act on it.Don't worry if you haven't found it, keep looking. Never give up on things that God has placed in your heart.  If it's for you it will find you.Life is a beautiful, magical journey. Create one that gives yours meaning.#BeOpenToInspiration  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Expectations are disappointments waiting to happen."When we expect people to act or say things the way we would we set ourselves up for disappointments.Rarely do they do what we expect them to, and frankly, it is not their job to please us.  Everyone is working their own way home to their best self, and most people's paths are winding.The only thing you can control about other people's behavior is how you react to it.When you think people should do things a certain way (your way), you are creating premeditated resentments.  And who wants to live with resentment in their heart?Maybe we can try to accept people the way they are.  Maybe we can focus our energy on being OUR best self and hope that we set an example of how to be a decent, loving, caring, ethical, respectful, honest, compassionate and kind human.In the end, that's all we got.  Be who YOU want to be and accept the rest as part of YOUR journey.Quote: Anne Lamott#BeWithoutExpectations #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Life is short.  Spend it with friends who make you laugh and feel loved."A good relationship is when two people accept each other's past, support each other's present, and love each other enough to encourage each other's future.Find a friend who encourages you to grow, who will let you go out into the world and if things don't go as planned they will have your back.A good friend will let you be yourself. They will accept your flaws, your quirks and encourage your authenticity. A good friend never lets you feel like you are alone, no matter how far or near you are, they are always right there, in your heart, connected by souls.#BeAGoodFriend #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "You weren't born just to pay bills and die."   Sometimes it feels like the same day. Over. And Over. Again.We get up, go to work, come home, then do it all again the next day.One day you'll look back and wonder where your life went.All the plans.All the dreams.Maybe if we can see this earlier we can recognize that THIS is your LIFE.Right NOW.So...Live.Live with passion.Live with purpose.Find your joy then live it.Discover who you were meant to be.Fill your moments with what makes you happy.Don't live to work, work to live. Don't live with fear about your life's ending, worry more about it never beginning.Don't merely survive- THRIVE!#BePassionateAboutYourLife  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #JorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "I'm not going to rush through this moment."When something really matters, take your time.  There is no reason to race towards anything.  This moment holds so much breathtaking life for you. This moment- here and now. So slow down, and allow yourself to breathe in this moment. Slow down, and let yourself really see and feel all that is happening right now. It's okay to feel eager and excited for what will come but let the magic of the present moment fill you up. Love this moment as much as you possibly can because someday, this moment will be a memory too.#BeWillingToNotRush #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned

Morning Mantra: "Even the smallest light cuts a path through the deepest darkness."Each day life presents us with a variety of challenges. Every one of those challenges is an opportunity to confirm and intensify truth and goodness.Within each act of genuine goodness are fertile seeds of even greater goodness.  It's up to us to plant those seeds, to spread the light.Every day choose each word you speak, each thought you think, and every thing you do, as a way to shine your positive light on the world.#BeTheTinyLightInDarkness  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #morningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "I see you as you are." Many people find themselves in circumstances that they wouldn't have chosen.  Most of us are feeling and behaving in ways we had never before due to loss, anxiety and stress.There is never a better time to really "see" each other.  Not the surface things, but the deeper, soul of another.  See the homeless man as a person in a valley of his life not as someone who isn't trying.See that woman in the checkout line using food stamps as a struggling mother trying her best for her family not as someone bucking the system.See that guy with all the tattoos and piercings as a man brave enough to express himself not someone who is dangerous.See that stressed out mom at Walmart as someone that needs support not someone that needs judging.Maybe we can't help them in any tangible way, but to see them as another soul helps us to not add to their struggle.It is especially important during these trying times to let each other feel accepted without judgement.  Accepting each person we meet as they are; with flaws, fears, mistakes, and circumstances.  Let's look at people's heart and soul instead of their exterior or circumstances, then we can leave each other feeling valued and important despite the way we find them. #BeASoulSeer #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

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 vulnerable self.  Actions are the real indication of someone's character.  If they tell you something but their actions say something else, believe what they do, not what they say.Love is a verb. #BeAwareOfBrokenPromises #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InsppirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: " I deserve all the good things that come my way."Stop acting so surprised when a good thing happens to you.  You are a good person and you deserve it.You deserve all the good things. You deserve to go after your dreams and bring them to life. You deserve genuine, reciprocal love. You deserve to be seen, heard, and considered. You deserve to give your mind and your body rest. You deserve to give yourself credit for pushing past your heaviest days. You deserve to experience the best of what life has to offer even if you've been told or made to feel otherwise. Your kind, hard-working, authentic self is inherently worthy of a happy, fulfilling, and successful existence.#BeOpenToWhatYouDeserve #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "If you want to be happy, be happy on purpose."When you wake up in the morning, you can't just wait and see what kind of day you'll have. You have to DECIDE what kind of day you'll have. Higher thoughts. Higher energies. High vibrations. Higher frequencies. Higher experiences.Find things throughout your day that make you happy. The smell of fresh coffee.The sound of the birds singing outside your window.The giggle of a child.Your horse nickering when he sees you.No traffic.A warm hug.The spring flowers.A good meal.Reasons to be happy or everywhere. You just have to choose them.Happiness is a choice we make every day and it's amazing how much power that gives us over our lives!#BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Into nature I go, to lose my mind, and find my soul."  Today is Earth Day.  A time to honor and recognize the beautiful planet we live on.  She's always there to help you get grounded, to heal you, to soothe your soul.  Take some time today to sit with her.  To hear her in the bird's song, in the whisper of a breeze.  See how she paints in such vivid colors with her trees, flowers and sunsets.  Recognize her strength in the rocks and trees. Reconnect to the amazing energy that is in all things.  Happy Earth Day! Quote: John Muir#BeOneWithYourMother  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Your imagination should be used not to escape life, but to create it."  Imagination is the language of the soul.  It is the place where all the important answers live.  A place to create the life you want to live.To live the life you want, you must first imagine it.  What do you see when you imagine your perfect life?  What are you doing? How do you feel?When you imagine you must be open to what you see, lose any judgement, and get creative on how you can make it happen.It's up to you how you use your imagination; will you use it to create what is good and desirable? Or to worry and imagine the worst? Imagination is a preview of life's coming attractions so put the creativity to work and imagine a world of happiness, love, abundance, joy and peace.#BeFullOfImagination #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Never let fear decide your future."The only way to ease your fear is to acknowledge your fear and look deeply at its source.You can't worry fear away.You can't eat it away, drink it away, or shop it away.You cannot ignore it and hope it goes away on it's own.Instead of trying to escape from your fear, invite it up to your awareness and sit with it. Look clearly and deeply at it so you can begin to understand it.  Only then will it lose its power.Fear is an idea-crippling, experience-crushing, success-stalling presence that you inflict on yourself.Quotes: Thich Nhat Hanh, Stephanie Melish#BeAFearFacer #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #morningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Quotes #NoFear

Morning Mantra: " I speak from power, not pain."Old wounds don't get to run the show anymore. You've earned the right to be heard without shrinking, lashing out, or explaining your worth. What we focus on expands, so when we talk too much about what we're afraid will happen again, or feel like a victim, we're more likely to manifest what we don't want.Take your power back and lead with that. Feeling sorry for yourself only keeps you stuck.  Shrinking so you don't upset someone only keeps you small. Throw off that weight and set yourself up to soar.#BePower-filled #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Not all storms come into your life to disrupt it, some come to clear the path." There will always be storms in life, it's how we learn, it's how we grow, and it's how things become clearer to us.Most of the time you won't remember how you survived it, what you did differently, or if it was even meant for you.  But one thing is certain, when you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person that walked in.And that's what the storm is all about.#BeBraverThanTheStorms #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippy #HorseHippie #morningmantra #inspirationalquotes

Morning Mantra: "The way you treat yourself after failure determines whether you grow, or give up."Don't beat yourself up for trying and falling short.  The way you speak to yourself when you mess up determines whether it feels safe to try again.The judging voice we hear in our head when we make a mistake isn't our own. It is the voice of the person(s) who made us feel small when we fell short as children. It is the voice filled with disappointment and anger. The voice that made us feel wrong and questioned our worth.But that not's you.  You deserve to feel good about even trying. Show yourself some grace. Offer yourself words of encouragement. Acknowledging the bravery, strength and effort you showed.#BeOKWithFailure #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear."  If I had to guess I'd say that we are all grieving in some way right now.  Some grieve for the loss of normalcy.  Some for loss of work.  Some for loss of freedom. Some for a loss of our connection to each other.Others for the loss what life was like before. And all of this grief is scary. So we feel fearful.  Feeling this way is perfectly okay.  But feelings should be acknowledged, not hidden or suppressed.  Sit with your grief (fear).  Breathe, and know that it will pass. Know that we will get through this. Maybe not today, but one day soon.  I know that things can feel unbearable right now, but keep breathing.  Again, and again, and again. I am here if you need me.  #BeWillingToGrieve  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuote

Morning Mantra: "A sensitive soul isn't the problem, it's the solution."We don't need to harden ourselves and grow a thicker skin.  We don't need to man-up and pretend we don't care about what's happening all around us.The world doesn't benefit from people shutting down or becoming guarded and unfeeling.  It grows stronger through empathy, kindness, and understanding. Staying open-hearted in a difficult world isn't weakness, it's real strength. We need more people who are willing to feel, to care, and to lead with compassion rather than fear.You can be open-hearted AND protect your peace at the same time.  You don't have to buy in to their fear, propaganda or rhetoric.  Just stay ground in love, offer that love to those you can and take comfort in knowing you are sensitive AND strong.#BeSensitive #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Surrender to what is, let go of what was, have faith in what will be." Sometimes I ask myself why I keep clinging to the idea of control, or to anger for things that have long since passed, or for my need to worry about every detail?Letting go of control does not mean giving up, nor does it mean abandoning the effort to bring good things into your life. What it means is freeing yourself from the need to cling, allowing things to flow, having faith that it will be okay and that you can handle it.When you give up trying to control everything something magical happens, you give God room to work.  Lighten your load. Loosen your grip. Let your life flow. Let go, and free yourself to live with grace and joy. Image: Jenny Hunter#BeWillingToLetGo  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HOrseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuote

Morning Mantra: “Just be nice. It's that simple.”No one really knows what someone else is going through. Or how they are feeling inside. That snippy waitress might be preparing for her last day with a loved one.  Someone else might have just lost their job. Your stand-offish co-worker might be dealing with a troubled marriage. That guy that didn't see that the light had turned green might be spaced out from just learning he has cancer.  That woman panhandling in the parking lot might be living in her car after leaving an abusive relationship.Even those that appear super happy might be carrying some pain they aren't ready to face.  We just never know.So, this is your reminder to just be nice.  Be kind.

Morning Mantra: "Everything will be okay."   You can't calm the storm so stop trying, what you can do is calm yourself.  Breathe and remember you've been in this place of discomfort before and you survived. You've been this stressed and scared before, and you know these feelings can't break you.  The world has felt this heavy before and you managed.Stressing about the stress only causes more stress and as you know, that doesn't "fix" anything.Just sit with your feelings and eventually they will pass.  Maybe not right now, but they will.  And you will look back and wonder why you ever doubted your resilience.  #BeCalmInTheStorm  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Tell people what you need.  You'll either get it or realize they can't give it to you.  Both are gifts."   This was one of the hardest things I had to learn.  People can't read my mind.  I used to think, "If they KNOW me, then they'll know what I want/need."Don't ever assume others know what you want or need emotionally. It's hard, but necessary to communicate this openly and honestly.   They can only offer what they understand to be a need.On the other hand, never try and un-need what you need.  If it's important to you then stick to it, don't try to change so they can meet your needs easier.  People will either be right for you or they won't.  But trying to change so they fit, will only diminish you.  This is where resentment grows.Speak your truth. Your needs. Your dreams. Your desires.  It is both a gift to receive the support you require, or to see that they cannot be the one.  Either they are your person or they aren't.  But at least there is no more wasted time. No miscommunication.  No more frustration from unmet needs.#BeHonestWithYourNeeds #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Celebrate your growth everyday." Every experience, whether positive or negative, gives you the chance for positive growth. Every situation, every encounter, every victory and every defeat provides you with a way to grow more capable, kind, and caring. With each thought you can grow wiser, more insightful.As you grow, you can take the best of who you already are, and expand on it. Growth does not change you into a different person, but enables you to more fully express your own uniqueness.Every day is an opportunity to grow. How will you grow today?#BeWillingToGrow  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra  #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "I release all that weakens my light."You were born to shine. Throughout your life you will discover things that make you shine brighter and things that diminish your light.It's time to release the things that do not help you be the bright light of love that you are meant to be.   That includes overgiving, codependency, and mental spirals disguised as “self-improvement.” It also means letting go of toxic relationships or rescuing people who drain instead of nurture you.   This one can be the most difficult because we are conditioned to believe that we NEVER give up on someone.  It helps to remind yourself that relationships are a two way street.  If there is only draining, manipulating and pain then they are not invested in the relationship.  It is a slowly sinking ship.Start to look for and notice what and who adds spark to your life.  When do you feel most alive?  Also, start to notice what feels heavy.  Then, learn ways to incorporate more of the happy things and to release the burdens.#BeOkWithLettingThingsGo #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

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 because 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.  You must live from your heart to believe in miracles.Acknowledging our fear shines light on it, it allows us to find our way back to faith and love. The ego cannot survive in the light of love.  Fear and doubt separate us from the love that connects us to the Source of all miracles.Fear and doubt is the energy that contracts, closes down, hides, and harms.Love is the energy which expands, opens up, reveals, shares and heals.Fear clings to and clutches, love lets go in faith.If you want to lose fear, surrender to love.  Give up your need to control the outcome and fill your mind with an unwavering belief in the power of faith. If you don't believe in miracles, perhaps you've forgotten that you are one.  #BeABelieverInMiracles  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

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 your statement with action.Start with the thought, write it down, speak it out loud (many times, every day), act upon it.  All with the attitude of KNOWING it will happen, not as just an attempt to produce results.If there is something you choose to experience in your life, do not want it- CHOOSE it.#BeInTheKnow  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "If you have time to worry, you have time to pray."   Since we get to choose how we spend our time, why not spend it doing something that might help?Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don't want. It is also a complete waste of time.  Nothing good can come from it.Praying and meditation are the door ways into gratitude, and a silence in which answers may be heard. They are the gateway to joy and allow the best that is within you to freely flow far, far beyond you. Worry robs you of inner peace, prayer restores it.What are you worried about?What are you praying for?#BeStillAndPray  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #inspirationalQuotes

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 be beautiful and inspiring. In the vastness of things you do not know, there is the joy of discovery and the enlightenment of learning. There is unlimited space to dream, to envision, and to grow.When you act as if you already know everything you deny yourself all the good things that are yet to be imagined and discovered. Make good use of all the things you already know,  and be thankful that you don't know it all.#BeWillingToLearn #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHorsey #BeHippie #morningmantra #inspirationalquotes

Morning Mantra: "If you never ask, the answer is always, 'No'."    There was a study that determined that 65% of the time when people ask for something, the answer was 'Yes'.  That's more than half of the time!  Yet, we often are so afraid of rejection, that we lack the courage to even ask.  When faced with this, I usually ask myself, "What do I have to lose?"  Certainly not the thing I'm asking about because I don't have it yet. And I remind myself that the answer is a definite NO if I never ask. So why not ask?#BeWillingToAsk #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie  #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

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 limitations.We must switch from a sense of lack to a sense that anything is possible.  We must believe we can, to even try.  If we give up mentally before we even try then we have already decided the outcome.Life has no limitations except the ones we create in our minds.#BeLimitless #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Happy people don't always HAVE the best of everything, they just MAKE the best of everything.”  I have always loved this Native American saying.  When I heard it I realized that the sooner you accept the fact that there will always be issues, problems, and set backs in your life, then adjust your attitude, the sooner you will find your happy place.If you are aways begrudging life and the challenges that are apart of it then you will never be truly happy.Things turn out best for people who make the best of how things turn out.#BeAcceptingAndMakeTheBestOfIt #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you."   You have an “inner voice” that has opinions on everything you do and what you have been through. That inner voice has its own perspective on you as a person. If this voice is telling you that because of your past, you have little value, it's WRONG.  You can't change the past, but you can change this negative tone.  The first step in doing that is to acknowledge that the “inner voice” exists. Then do things to change it's narrative.  Surround yourself with positive people, remind yourself that the challenges you've overcome in the past have made you STRONG, then use this strength to love yourself deeply.  #BeOkWithThePast #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes
