Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: “Rejection can be protection.”Sometimes when we think we are being rejected, it's the Universe protecting us from someone or something that isn't meant for us.Try looking at rejection as redirection. You are being redirected to something better. More aligned with the highest version of you.When you look at it this way it eliminates the fear that can creep in from rejection. The fear of not being good enough.And remember, your most valuable asset is time, do you really want to waste it chasing after someone or something that doesn't recognize your worth?It's better to be rejected for who you are than to change yourself to be accepted.#BeOkayWithRejection #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippieBoutique #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "No one gets to tell you who you are."  You are not defined by someone else's partial view of your life, by their limited knowledge of your strengths, or their opinion of your history.  No one should let other people bully or pressure them into being less than they are.  Don't dilute yourself to fit their narrative. Stand tall, proud, and beautiful.  Just as you are.Their inability to only see or appreciate their version of you does not limit you, only them.  Only you get to decide if you want to be a different version than you currently are.#BeYouUnApologetically  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotesImage: Sydney Horse Riding Centre

Morning Mantra: "I will not let my ego hijack my happiness."Ah, the ego.  That greedy, stubborn, annoying, self-centered voice in our heads.  The first step in conquering its control is to recognize it.  Here are a few ways I use to help me see who is talking in my head; the ego or the soul. The ego seeks to serve itself. The soul seeks to serve others.The ego seeks outward recognition. The soul seeks inner authenticity.The ego sees life as a competition. The soul sees life as a gift.The ego is all about the prize. The soul is about the journey.The ego feels lack. The soul feels abundance.The ego is never satisfied. The soul is content.Allow yourself to be so focused on living in peace and walking in purpose (soul) that you have no time to worry about people pleasing, pettiness, or irrelevant opinions (ego).#BeAwareOfYourEgo #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Don't promise when you are happy, don't reply when you are angry, and don't decide when you are sad." Emotions are tricky. The word emotion means energy in motion.  This energy (emotion) can be fleeting, so when we make decisions based on them, we can end up wishing we hadn't.Emotional intelligence is the ability to be aware of how your emotions drive your behavior.   Emotional intelligence is your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships.  It allows us to respond instead of react.The emotionally, intelligent person is skilled in four areas;identifying emotions, using emotions, understanding emotions,and regulating emotions.Emotional intelligence is not about rainbows and unicorns, it's about mastering the messy art of handling your own, and other people's emotions.#BeInTuneWithYourEmotions #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Being good at something shouldn't be the point of doing it." We are all raised in such an achievement-oriented society that we believe our worth lies in our level of talent.  We are led to believe that we should only do something if we can win or be a success.  We are taught that we shouldn't bother unless we are good at it.What if we flip the script by trying something and doing things simply because we ENJOY them?  What if doing a bunch of different things, regardless of how well we do them, makes us a more interesting person? Isn't that the point of life anyway? To have fun?  To experience everything we desire, to expand our reach, to push our limits?  To learn, grow and explore?Life shouldn't be about winning and losing, the journey is more important than the outcome so ENJOY!! Do the thing, even if you aren't any good at it.#BeInteresting  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotesAboutLife

Morning Mantra: Replace “Why is this happening to me?”With “What is this teaching me?”Life doesn't happen TO you, it just happens and then you respond to what happens.  Your attitude when you respond can make all the difference in your happiness and desire to learn and grow.For example, you will never learn how to be brave, unless you feel fear. You will never learn what not to do, if you never make mistakes. You will never reach your dreams, unless you learn how to overcome failure. Learning how to look at obstacles, set backs and problems as opportunities instead of punishments is the key to loving life! It's the purpose of the journey.  Life becomes a whole lot easier when you recognize this and look for the lessons.#BeALooker #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #MorningMantras #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Gratitude and attitude are choices.”Choosing to be thankful for who and what's in your life instead of complaining about what you don't have will change everything.  Gratitude is an antidote to negative emotions, a neutralizer of envy, hostility, worry, and irritation.Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life, even if it's scarce, even if it's hard to find, is the foundation for all abundance and happiness. Gratitude is an attitude, it's a way of being, a way to look at life. Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Recognizing and giving thanks lays groundwork for an attitude of gratitude.  An attitude that will lead to contentment.On this Thanksgiving morning, may you choose to be grateful.  Write down as many things you are thankful for. Post this list where you can see it.  Let it be the beginning of a LIFE of gratitude- not just a day.#BeThankfulAndGrateful #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Borrow someone else's light until your light can shine brightly again." Strength, peace, and courage can all come and go when we are faced with trials. Sometimes you need to hang onto some else's hope. Someone else's peace and sanity while yours is under siege.Make sure to let people know when your strength is fading, when your light is dimming.  Look for their light to guide you.  God works through people but many times we are too proud or stubborn or embarrassed to seek support. But remember, there is nothing impressive about struggling when you don't need to.Most people will gladly lend a hand if they are aware of your need.  So borrow their light.  Then, when you are able, shine your light for others.#BeWillingToAskForHelpAndThenOfferItToOthers #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “Be the person you needed when you were young.” Not everyone was blessed with wonderful parents, great teachers and a supportive community.  If that sounds like you, ask yourself- “what was missing?” Did you need more kindness? More joy? More understanding? More attention? Less drama and more stability?Then be what was missing. Learn from your past to make your future better, easier, less painful.  You cannot change your past but you can be the person your future needs.Be that person because you never know whose life you might make just a little bit better. Starting with your own.#BeWhatYouNeeded #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "The vacation we often need is a break from our own mind." I don't know about you, but I need a break.From worrying about my business.From concern for my family.From the stress of the condition of our planet.From politically induced hyper-concern for marginalized people.It's getting to me.But I also know I am in charge of my feelings.I can take a break- or 20- and reduce the stress and worry.I can recharge in nature or at the barn.I can reconnect with my breath through meditation.I can Facetime, write love letters, and send care packages.I can flip the thought patterns that control my emotions from negative to positive.When there is nothing I can do to change the outside world, I turn to controlling what's inside of me.#BeWillingToTakeAMindVacation  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #Morningmantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: “You are the greatest project that you will ever work on.”Every day you have three choices;  grow into more, stay the same, or retreat into less.  It's up to you to decide what you let influence that decision.  Some view change as scary so they stay where they are- or even be less than they are capable of.  Some are worried that they will fail not understanding that nothing is ever gained without trying.  Others are concerned with what others will think so they give up easily.There are no limits to what you can accomplish except the limits you place in your own thinking.  It's important to THINK you are capable, brave, and deserving.  To THINK about how you want to show up in this world, in your life.  Then to recognize that YOU are the one responsible for your life.  Wanting to be your best will not magically make it happen, you must realize the importance of your actions. Either you focus on yourself and start doing what needs to be done,  or you remain in discontent, still dreaming about how you would love things to be.I say- stop worrying and keep moving, keep improving, keep discovering.#BeTheBestYouCanBe #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Choose your hard." Life is hard, there is no way around it.  Every day you choose on which hard you can handle based on your values, motivation and who you want to be.Here's a few examples;Relationships are hard, but so is being single.Work is hard, but so is being unemployed.Eating clean and exercising is hard, but so is being unhealthy. Being financially responsible is hard, but so is being in debt.Real communication is hard, but so is not communicating.Understanding others is hard, but not being understood is hard too.And the list goes on.  People make the mistake of thinking that there is an easy road.  They just don't see that every road is difficult, you just choose the hard you think you can handle.#BeChoosyAboutYourHard #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique #uniquejewelry #wherebohomeetsequestrian #boho #bohostyle #bohemianstyle #hippie #hippiestyle #hippievibes #hippiegirl #horsehippie #equestrian #equestrianstyle #horsegirl #horselover #horsesofinstagram

Morning Mantra: “Listen to yourself, not the noise of the world.”There is so much noise. So many people and companies telling you how to think, what to buy, how to look, how to act, and even where to go.It's enough to overwhelm you and confuse you.Quiet your mind. Listen to that little voice in your heart that knows you. The more you do this, the louder THAT voice gets and the clearer your path becomes.Practice listening to your inner voice- your intuition. Ask questions, be curious, see what YOU see, hear what YOU hear, and then act upon what YOU know to be true.#BeAListenerToYourOwnVoice #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutiqueQuote: Leon Brown

Morning Mantra: "I deserve all the blessings in my life."Yes, you do. Yet, so many people feel like the shoe is going to drop because things are too good, that they don't deserve all the goodness and things will change because of this.I call bullsh*t on this. Of COURSE you deserve the blessings you have. No matter what you have done in the past, you are here to BE blessed.Start acting and thinking that way. Say this mantra every morning and BELIEVE it. Because you deserve it ALL.The love.The laughter.The joy.The abundance.The kindness.The compassion.The respect.The admiration.You deserve to breathe easy, to live easy, to be happy about your blessings. Don't be a blessing blocker- acknowledge, appreciate, and know you are worthy.#BeHappyAboutWhatYouHave #BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#WordsToInspire#InspirationalQuotes#SmallBusinessOwner#WomenOwned#HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "I am deeply grateful for my body, my health, and my unique talents."Only you can do you. Only you possess the qualities you have. Wishing otherwise is a form of self-rejection. The first step to loving who you are is to accept who you are, including the part(s), you might not be that proud of.Sometimes we tend forget to focus on the 100s of people who accept us for who and what we are. We focus on the one person who doesn't. But you know what, screw that. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to live up to anyone else's expectations. All you have to do is be your wonderful, unique self. And learn to love (well at least accept ) the things you find objectionable.When you stop living your life based on what others think of you, and when you stop beating yourself up for what you think you lack, real life begins. At that moment, you will finally see the door of self acceptance open.#BeOkWithALLOfYou#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#WordsToInspire#InspirationalQuotes#SmallBusinessOwner#WomenOwned

Morning Mantra: "Fall in love with yourself."Are you feeling like you don't have time for “self-care”? Challenge yourself to believe that self-care isn't so much a practice that involves large amounts of time “doing”, as it is a way of “being”, a way to show yourself love. Once you resolve to love yourself, you will fall in love with taking care of yourself. I haven't always been so good at pursuing the restorative practices that have become so impactful in my life. A few years ago if I had woken up feeling unlovable, I likely would not have understood why, nor would I have tried to. Instead, I would've pushed down the feelings and simply “grinned and beared it”, going about my day on autopilot.What I understand now is that true self-care is simply adopting a mindset in which you prioritize and make space for yourself in your life. It is a state of mind that allows for the self-awareness to recognize what you need and the self-love to find ways to weave this into the days and weeks that make up your life. You provide this for yourself through small consistent acts of self-compassion, where the frequency matters much more than the duration. We can give ourselves over to the mindset that self-care is a way of being, not a way of doing.How will you show up for yourself today?#BeInLoveWithYourself#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#WordsToInspire#InspirationalQuotes#SmallBusinessOwner#WomenOwned#HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Sunsets are proof that endings can be beautiful too.”All endings are beginnings, we just don't know it at the time. When we keep that in mind we can appreciate the ending for what it is. A new beginning.Without the sunset, we wouldn't get the new day. A day to start over. Start fresh.In the sunset we can find meaning to the ending. We can grieve our loss, put closure to our feelings, start planning for tomorrow. The new day brings new opportunities. To learn. To grow. To heal. To explore. To cry. To sing. To dance. To find our joy. Look at the end as a new beginning and your view will change.#BeOKWithEndings#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire#HorseHippieBrand

Morning Mantra: "Trade your expectation for appreciation and the world changes instantly." The world doesn't owe you a thing. That comes from a sense of entitlement. You expect a certain outcome because you WANT it. Then you get disappointed that you didn't get it. Expectations are disappointments waiting to happen. So what can you do to manage your expectations?Ask yourself what you are expecting from a situation and why.Look for the positive in what you already have to reduce the wanting.Be generous to others without expecting anything in return to reduce disappointment if they don't reciprocate. Let go of always striving for more and being disappointed if you don't get there. Know that your best is good enough.Accepting and taking all that is good from the present moment, because in reality, that is all we ever have.Expect less, appreciate more.#BeWillingToAppreciateYourLife #BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire#

Morning Mantra: "Mind: If you let go, you'll fall.Heart: If you let go, you'll hurt.Soul: If you let go, you're free."Your Mind is your thoughts. How you think is based on life experiences, conditioning, and external influences. Your Heart is your emotions. How you feel is created based on how you think about your experiences; how you felt when something happened, or anticipation of future ones.Your Soul is who you are without any external influence or thoughts about your past or future. It is your essence. It is your consciousness.Mindfulness helps you become aware of your soul (who you truly are) and to step away from your automatic, habitual reactions to your experiences. Mindfulness helps us get better at seeing the difference between what is actually happening, and the stories we tell ourselves about what is happening.#BeMindfulOfYourSoul#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire#HorseHippieBrand#HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself."Beauty is not about make-up, flawless skin, flowing hair or the thinness of your body. Beauty comes from within and it reflects in your eyes, your posture, your behavior.How you "look" is an outward expression of how you feel. If you try to look beautiful but don't really feel it, it will show. If you feel beautiful in your own skin, within your heart, you will have an inner glow.Being yourself and embracing your inner beauty allows you to accept yourself and others for who they ARE, not what they look like. This is so difficult now with everyone judging each other so easily and anonymously on social media! Beauty is a power and kindness is it's language.#BeYourBeautifulSelf#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire#HorseHippieBrand#HorseHippieBoutique#madebywomenforwomen#wherebohomeetsequestrian#boho #bohostyle#bohemianstyle #hippie#hippiestyle #hippievibes#hippiegirl #horsehippie#equestrian #equestrianstyle#horsegirl #horselover#horsesofinstagram

Morning Mantra: "Sometimes feeling lost is the first step in truly finding yourself."It's a quiet ache that shows up when life is full—but you still feel empty.  Or a sense that you're going through the motions, but not truly connected.  Or maybe a longing for something more—without knowing what “more” even is.Maybe that's where you are right now.  Feeling lost.And maybe, you've noticed how that ache lingers quietly in the background—then flares up in unexpected moments.When you feel lost in life—but nothing is “wrong”—it's tempting to push that feeling aside.  To keep functioning. Keep showing up. Keep doing what needs to be done.But this feeling isn't something to be ignored because it's a signal.  A quiet invitation back to yourself.  Here are some questions to ask yourself to figure out a way forward:When do you feel most at ease or alive?What have you always been curious about?When do you feel most like yourself?You don't need all the answers to begin—you just need a willingness to turn inward and listen. That quiet ache you've been feeling? It's not something to fear or fix. It's an invitation. A nudge from the deeper parts of you, asking to be seen, known, and remembered. So pause. Get still. Be honest. Then start with small, measurable steps.#BeCalledBackToYourself #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Intuition doesn't tell you what you want to hear, it tells you what you need to hear."Have you ever made a decision based purely on a gut feeling? You couldn't explain it, but you just knew? Have you ever experienced an "Aha" moment?Some call it a gut instinct or sixth sense.  Perhaps you've also heard it described as an inner voice or knowing.  Although it may be referred to by a variety of terms, we're all talking about the same thing – intuition.  Intuition is a deep sense of inner knowing.  It's a visceral feeling that tells you when something is right for you, and often when it's not.You might think of intuition as your higher self or a higher power that guides you.  I believe intuition is that little voice within telling you what you already know is true.  It will always be there, regardless of if you choose to listen to it.The problem is that it's not always easy to hear your intuition and to listen to it.   Because from the time we were little, most of us have been told that someone else knows best.There are ways to determine if it's your intuition or just fear "talking" to you.  Intuition is a felt in deep inside you- mainly in your gut- those gut feelings of butterflies, or a sinking feeling.  Another way you might feel it that you know something is "off"- not always in a bad way- just not right.If you have something that you can't stop thinking about or a situation that keeps presenting itself- that's your intuition nudging you to do something!Seeing symbols, repeated numbers and signs are another way your inner voice is speaking to you.  Now you just have to stop, notice and go inward to reflect on the message.Your intuition will never steer you wrong and learning how to trust and act on it will unlock your greatest gifts in life.#BeWillingToListenToYourGut #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Don't waste your energy on what cannot be changed, instead focus it on what can be created." What if you took all the energy you spend worrying, feeling frustrated, feeling jealous, stressing, complaining, or blaming, and used it for something productive?  Imagine what you could accomplish!You only have so much time here and a limited amount of energy to spend.  So use your energy to create your own miracles, your own blessings, your own amazing life. Become aware of what is worth your energy and then be deliberate in how you spend it.#BeWiseWithYourEnergy #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Your greatest healing will come from the emotions you're most afraid to feel."We all have shadows and dark places that we are afraid to face. When these feelings are triggered we push them down rather than deal with them.  Except- that doesn't do anything to diminish their power over our choices, emotions and life.You have to feel the feels to heal.  They are trapped in your mind and your body.  Physical illness, anxiety, fear and depression can be linked to suppressed emotions. Feel them and release them from your body.Feel them, process them and you will release the weight of them.  Feel the feeling but don't become the emotion. Witness it. Allow it. Release it.#BeFreeOfSuppressedEmotions #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutiqueQuote:  Kimia Nora

Morning Mantra: "People treat you exactly how they feel."Not how they say they feel when the mood is good, but how they act when it costs them effort. LRed flags are there for a reason. Choosing to ignore them so you can be in a relationship will cost you in the end.The first time you set a boundary, they felt it. Everything after that was evidence of their choice to ignore it. If nothing changed, that was the message. If they can watch you hurt and keep the behavior that caused it, that is the truth of their feelings for you. If you continue to explain what respect looks like to people who benefit from pretending not to recognize it, then it's you who needs to stop.To stop rescuing people from their own choices. Stop translating your needs into softer words so someone else could stay comfortable while you stayed wounded. Refuse to live at the level of excuses, delays, half-promises, and recycled apologies.If you have to continually prove your love to get love in return, you are being manipulated. Respect yourself enough to move on. Love flows freely. Love is a verb and their actions are telling you exactly how they really feel.#BeAwareOfRedFlags#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#WordsToInspire#InspirationalQuotes#SmallBusinessOwner#WomenOwned#HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "I'm doing my best and my best is good enough." I've adopted this life mantra to remind myself that I don't have to be or do anything other than my best in order for it to be “enough”. We unconsciously question our “enoughness” every day by comparing ourselves to others and questioning whether we are doing enough and if our efforts are good enough. Questioning whether in fact we ARE enough.Well guess what- you were BORN enough. Just as you are. The only way you will ever feel less than is if you allow others to dictate your self-worth. You are perfectly imperfect. As we ALL are. And if you give it your best, then it is enough because no one can do you better than you.Whenever you find yourself doubting your best efforts, you can use this powerful life mantra to bring you back to yourself and the belief that your best is good enough and that you are enough.#BeEnoughToYourself#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#WordsToInspire#InspirationalQuotes#SmallBusinessOwner#WomenOwned#HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “Today, in moments when I feel emotionally overwhelmed, I honor my need to pause, and breathe.”Becoming less reactive is a huge part of growing and decreasing stress. If you let everything get you worked up, you're damaging your mind, body, and spirit.One of the things that has helped me to become less reactive is realizing that everyone is operating at their current level of consciousness. Because of this I get less upset with another's actions when I notice that they are expressing themselves to the best of their ability.Something else that's helpful is to learn to pause before you react. Take a breath and give yourself time to respond with intention rather than react in impulse.I'd realized I'd grown as a person when I recognized that every situation doesn't need my reaction. Sometimes you just gotta let people do the lame stuff they do.#BeLessReactive #BeHappy#BeHorsey #BeHippie#HorseHippie#MorningMantra#WordsToInspire#InspirationalQuotes#SmallBusinessOwner#WomenOwned#HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Be soft for the sake of every hard heart." It's not your imagination, the world and many of the people in it have hardened. Maybe it's because of all the chaos of late. Maybe it's because of all the pain and suffering we are aware of now- 24 hours a day- thanks to TV and social media. Constant reminders of pain and suffering may make many want to create hard shells around their hearts.Whatever the reason it happens, it is more important than ever, that YOU stay soft. That your energy reflects love and compassion. That you remind people that there is someone that cares. That they can count on. Someone that is open, welcoming, and nice.Try not to let what you cannot do build a layer of hardness in you. Do what you can instead, even if it's just staying soft and kind. The more people that are soft the more we counter the hard.#BeSoftInAHardWorld#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire

Morning Mantra: "Use things, not people. Love people, not things."When we get attached to temporary items like material "things" we can often wonder why our happiness doesn't last.  As soon as that item looses it's sparkle or breaks, there goes your contentment.Loving people is harder. They have opinions, moods, their own views and reality.  But they also offer a lifetime of love. A place for your love to go and grow.  A place where your feelings can get deeper.Things cannot make you feel loved, respected or cared for.  Only people can do that.  But you have to be willing to open yourself up.  Be vulnerable.  That's why so many people seek happiness in things.  But for lasting joy, contentment and happiness you cannot attach your love to temporary things.#BeAPeopleLover #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBoutique #InspirationalQuotes #Inspire #QuotesToMakeYouFeelGood #QuotesFromTheHeart #MorningMantrasQuote: Spencer Kimbell

Morning Mantra: "I'd rather live my life in acceptance of it not being perfect, than live it pretending it is."No one has a perfect life.  Even if they pretend to on social media.  That's why Facebook is sometimes referred to as "Fakebook." Rarely does someone put the tough things out there.  We tend to hide them from the world.Learning to accept that some things in life won't get better is not giving up, it's not being negative.  Because it might not get better, but you will. You will get stronger. You'll be more appreciative of what is good in your life.  And as you do you become more authentic in living.All you can do is fix what you can, and adapt to what you can't. You learn to live with your situations as messy and ugly as they might be.  You understand that life is perfectly unperfect. But it is amazing and beautiful too.To do the best you can with what life handed you is worth celebrating too.#BeOkWithMessy #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Taking care of myself is how I best take care of others."Much along the lines of “self-care isn't selfish”, I tell myself often that taking care of myself is how I best take care of my people.  It's so easy to feel guilty when you take time for yourself or prioritize your needs, so this mantra reinforces the simple truth that you cannot care for your others if you're not caring for yourself first and foremost.One way I take care of myself is through self-connection. Being connected to yourself means that you're attuned to your inner workings and have a solid understanding of your thoughts, wants, desires, and body.  In other words, it means you're in touch with your own emotional, spiritual, and physical needs, and also honor them in your daily actions.  It's knowing what makes you you.  This sounds simple, but it's something many of us don't spend much time on it can be challenging and uncomfortable for some of us.  So how do you get over this and start a better relationship with yourself?1.) Embrace alone time2.)  Start each day by checking in with yourself3.) Practice Mindfulness4.)  Pay attention to your feelings5.) Practice journaling6.) Engage in self-reflectionLike any relationship, the one you have with yourself takes time to build. It needs to be lovingly and patiently cultivated and it takes work to strengthen and maintain it.  But having a deep connection to your inner self and voice will give you confidence in your decisions, awareness of your feelings, and strength to deal with life's demands.#BeConnectedToYourself  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "All Is Well."Sometimes in life, we lose sight of what's important to us, what we're working towards, or how we want to show up. Having a life mantra that we can turn to for guidance helps to remind us of the principles by which we want to live. Because I suffer with anxiety I chose the above mantra for mine.Similar to a daily intention, which is how you want to show up that particular day, a life manta is how you want to show up in life overall. In essence, it's a guiding principle for how you want to live life. This mantra reminds me to be grateful, to let go and to stay present.Sometimes I reevaluate my daily mantra- depending on what I am living through- but my life mantra stays as the foundation I need to guide me.Maybe you have one already?

Morning Mantra: “Never trust your fear, it doesn't know your strength.”Today is Halloween, a holiday based on fear.  Scary costumes, scary decorations, the fear of the dark.  The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is the fear of the unknown.But I like to think that when life gives you something that makes you feel afraid, that's when life gives you a chance to be brave.Maybe try to look at your fears in a different way. They're not there to scare you, they're there to let you know something is worth it.  That something on the other side of that fear is what you want. Fear is a part of life, especially the fear of change.  But it is also a self-imposed prison that will hold hold you back from what you are meant to do or be.  So you have to learn to go ahead despite the pounding in your heart that says turn back.#BeWillingToFaceYourFears #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Faith is not knowing how it will happen, but believing it will." My favorite author/guru Anne Lamott did a piece recently about faith, which is one of her favorite topics.  It made me think about what faith means to me, how it has shown up in my life.Faith doesn't take away the problem, it takes you through it, because it gives you strength when you can't find yours.Faith means that you continue to believe it will get better, even when you have no reason to believe it will, and you have no reason to not give up. Faith shows the tiniest bit of light in the darkness that renews the sense of possibility, the sense that anything can happen.  A tiny light you can stand in until things get better.Keep the faith, the most amazing things in life can happen right when you are about to give up.#BeFullofFaith #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #TexasStrong

Morning Mantra: “Pause. Take a breath. The world will keep spinning, but for now, you don't have to.”Anxiety is a tough one. It makes it feel like your body isn't safe, even when you know it is just sending off false alarms.  You feel like you can't sit with the emotion without trying to push it away.But sitting with the feeling of anxiety is an opportunity to practice recognizing uncomfortable emotions and learning how to not let them hijack your day.Sitting with your anxious feelings is a chance to release the false belief that you need to be in control all the time.  To remind yourself that you are not your thoughts, and that your anxiety doesn't define you, it might be a part of you but not who you are.#BeAbleToConfrontYourAnxiety #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “What you do makes a difference, you just have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”It's easy to think you don't make a difference in a world of social media where we value people having huge followings and 1000's of likes.  But this quote by my hero, Jane Goodall, reminds you that your impact on other people is bigger than you think. Someone still giggles when they think of the funny thing you said. Someone still smiles when they think of the compliment you gave them.Someone silently admires you. The advice you give has made a difference for someone. The support and love you've offered others has made someone's day. Your input and opinions have made someone think twice. You're not insignificant, your existence makes a positive difference, whether you see it or not. So shine your beautiful light. Shine on.#BeADifferenceMaker  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutiqueQuote: Jane Goodall

Morning Mantra: "Choose people that choose you."Over the years I have had a few relationships with people I love that were really difficult.  No matter how hard I tried they didn't care enough to try to fix and heal what was broken.I used to think more patience would fix it. I used to think I could earn care by overdelivering love. I thought if I apologized faster, spoke gentler, forgave more, explained longer, the love and respect would arrive.It never did. I learned the hard truth: loyalty to what harms you is not love. Forgiveness without change is not healing. Endurance without results is not growth. I am not a never-ending well of second chances. I am not a classroom where the same lesson is taught to people who never planned to learn. My time is precious. My voice is valuable. My peace is non-negotiable. So I learned to set boundaries and sometimes, to set them free.  To take their lack of interest and behavior as a true sign of how they felt.  I learned that no matter what I did, it takes two for it to work.  I learned that I had to stop MY contribution to the dysfunction- my co-dependency.Now I focus on those that WANT a relationship with me.  Those that bring me joy not drama and pain. Who will put in the effort to make our relationship work. Let me feel heard, loved, chosen.Time and energy are the most precious commodities and I will use mine where it is appreciated and reciprocated.#BeChoosey  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “Stay where your heart smiles.”You know the feeling. The one where you can swear your heart is happy.It's not a place, a person, or a thing. It's a habit. It's the habit of finding your joy, even when it's hiding from you. It's a state of mind that you cultivate.Of course, you might think the reason you are happy is a certain person, being at a certain place, or doing a certain thing, but your happiness cannot depend on that. Because if it does, your happiness is based on something external, and it can end if that “reason” does.So take notice on how you FEEL when you are happy, then choose that feeling, over and over again.#BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippieBoutique #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Don't be afraid to start over again. This time, you are not starting from scratch, you're starting from experience."Just because the past didn't turn out like you had hoped, doesn't mean the future won't. Go ahead and try again. You are better equipped this time, you know what works, and what doesn't.You know what brings you joy, and what doesn't.If you look at your past as a failure instead of life lessons then you won't be brave enough to start over.  So change the way you look at it.  You can start over with new thought patterns, a new connection to the world, and new understanding of yourself.You deserve to be happy, so start over, again and again, until you find what you want, where you want, with who you want.#BeWillingToStartOver #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “Healing is not the absence of the storm. Healing is learning how to ride it.”It's okay if you thought you were over it but it hits you all over again.It's okay to fall apart even after you thought you had moved on.Don't give up, don't give into it. Healing is messy.Healing is a process of learning how to accept everything but picking the best.  It's a daily choice to make peace with the broken pieces of your life. There is no timeline for it. Healing doesn't mean the pain never existed, it means it no longer controls you.#BePatientWithYourJourneyToHeal #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippieBoutique #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned

Morning Mantra: "Today is going to be a great day!"Today is rainy and cold.  The first real taste of the weather to come.  I could be bummed about it, or I can try and find the glimmers of what's good about it.So I choose to look for the good.  I refuse to have a bad day despite the change in plans due to the weather.  I have raincoats, muck boots and umbrellas.  My horse has a nice run-in for shelter.  I can do things inside today like organize my warehouse instead. (ugh)Not every day will turn out like you planned- be it the weather, your health, car trouble, traffic, or a list of other things that can affect your mood.  But don't let it spoil your day. Choose to find the glimmers of sunshine in the rain.#BeAGlimmerFinder #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Don't be absent from your own life."I wish I could tell my 20-year-old self what I now believe is the most important thing in life. I would tell her, with all my heart, just to be present and open to the moment that is unfolding before you.Because ultimately, your life is made up of moments. So don't miss them by being lost in the past or anticipating the future.I didn't fully embrace this before because I was young, willful and very driven.  I was always thinking of what I could do next.  Or worse, what I could have done differently. How many amazing moments did I miss because of this way of thinking, of living?The present moment is not found by trying to escape it.  It is found by being here now.  The here and now is all we have, and if you are present for it, it's all you ever need.#BeHereNow #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBoutique #InspirationalQuotes #Inspire #QuotesToMakeYouFeelGood #QuotesFromTheHeart #MorningMantrasQuote: Jessica Lange

Morning Mantra: "Live life with more 'I can't believe I did this!' instead of 'I should of done it.' "In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take, the relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.Overtime people regret what they didn't do more than what they did do. Regrets of inaction are far more common than regrets of action.  In history as in life, regret does not bring back a lost moment. But regret is a tough and fair teacher.  It is also a form of punishment in itself.So if there's something on your bucket list that you want to do, go after it. Don't make up excuses, don't second-guess yourself, don't worry about what others will think of you.Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.#BeWillingToDoIt #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “Be Yourself.  People don't have to like you and you don't have to care.”No one else's opinion should matter more than your own. Do YOU like yourself? Do YOU think you are living a good life? That's what matters.If you answered “No” to either of these, spend some time contemplating ways to change that. If you are being yourself, thinking for yourself, and acting from those thoughts, you can change what's missing to what matters.If you are changing for someone else's approval then the change will not be authentic, it will not feel necessary to you.  To create a life that feels good on the inside YOU must be in charge of who you are.#BeInCharge #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Something cool is going to happen for me today."Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, it's unlikely you will step up and take responsibility for making it better. If you assume that there's no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope.So, always believe something wonderful is going to happen. Start your day with this mantra and believe it to be true. Even with the ups and downs, never take it any day for granted. Making things happen in your life requires a faith, or an ability to believe  that is unshakable, regardless of your circumstances.So starting today, choose to believe that something good CAN happen and IS happening now. Your greatest power is your capacity to choose to believe in happiness and abundance.#BeABeliever #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “The more you do, the more you fail.  The more you fail, the more you learn.  The more you learn, the better you get.”I'd rather fail over and over trying to do what I love, than settle. There is nothing wrong with making mistakes, they are part of the human experience.  Just acknowledge them, take responsibility for them, and learn from them. Then try again.What is the point of being alive if you don't even TRY to live the life you dream of? What is holding you back? Fear?Don't be afraid to fail, be afraid of not even trying.#BeWillingToTry #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippieBoutique #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutiqueQuote: John C. Maxwell

Morning Mantra: “Life isn't always about finding shelter from the storm, sometimes it's about learning to dance in the rain.”The storms of life come and go. Some come to disrupt your life, forcing change. Some come to clear the path to a different direction. When you come out of a storm you won't be the same person. That's what the storm is all about.You can either use the rain to grow and learn to appreciate the opportunities that now exist. Or you can buckle down and resist the changes necessary to be more prepared for the next one.#BeWillingToLearnToDance #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippieBoutique #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutiqueQuote: Bryant McGill

Morning Mantra: "Listen and silent are spelled with the same letters."   Listening is an art that requires attention over talent,  spirit over ego, and others over self.  One of the biggest communication problems we can have is that we don't listen to understand, we listen to reply.It's one thing to listen to someone when they speak, but is another thing to truly hear what they are saying.   The quieter you become, the more you can actually hear.  #BeAGoodListener #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie   #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “Life is tough my darling, but so are you.”If you are going to accept anything in life it should be that it is hard. We resist life when we think it is always going to be butterflies and rainbows. When we resist, we live in a state of dissatisfaction. Accepting that life is hard allows you to move through the resistance to a place of peace amid the chaos.  This doesn't mean you don't fight through the hard times.  It doesn't mean you focus on them either.  It means you understand that they are temporary.  That there are important lessons in them and they help you learn to appreciate the good times even more.You are tough.  You are strong.  You got this.#BeStrongerThanTheToughDays #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "I need to give myself more credit for how hard I'm trying."Give yourself more credit. You're trying to grow while you heal. You're trying to forgive while you're trying to grieve. You're trying to search while you're trying to let go. You're trying to love others while remembering how to love yourself. And you're doing the best you can. And that's enough so give yourself some credit for trying. Working on yourself can be hard, but the rewards of not giving up can really change your life.  Many people don't even try to reach for a better life, a better self. Their fear, insecurity, and lack of belief in their personal power, hold them hostage, sometimes forever. So let's start by appreciating yourself for being brave enough to even try.  Then, every step along the way, give yourself your love, support, and recognition.#BeYourCheerleader  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “You have to put up with some rain to get the rainbow.”Life is interesting in the way you must experience the negative to appreciate the positive. We all want to avoid anything negative or unpleasant, but when you think about it, you'd have nothing to compare to if you never experienced the opposite.You must experience pain to understand compassion. You must experience how cruel the world is, to understand the need for kindness. You must know sadness to know happiness. You must experience noise to appreciate silence. You must experience loneliness to value presence.And at some point, you must experience bad situations or people to be grateful for how good you have it.The truth is, you cannot protect yourself from the negative experiences and emotions in life, without also protecting yourself from the positive.#BeOkWithTheRain #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique
