Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "Faith is taking the first step even though you can't see the staircase."Faith is a universal language.  There is a word for faith in every culture and religion.  There must be a reason for that.  Maybe it's because faith is necessary to the human condition.The process of growing and learning about life and ourselves requires a tremendous amount of faith. When you are lost or don't know the answer, sometimes the best thing you can do is not over-think , not worry, and not be too afraid of getting it wrong.Just breathe, have faith and take the first step.  Believe that everything will work out for the best.  Keep the faith, you either get it right or you will learn what to do next time.#BeFaith #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “Two things to remember: Take care of your thoughts when you are alone and take care of your words when you are not.”I'll admit it, I get in my head too much. My thoughts can create drama, suspense, fear, anger, and a host of other emotions. So, I try to remember that I create my reality through my thoughts. I am the one HAVING the thoughts and that most of the time my thoughts are not based on what's really happening.If I let my thoughts spin out of control it can lead to “words I wish I hadn't spoken” when I am around others. So, I practice the pause and try to wait a few moments and collect my thoughts before my mouth runs away with me.These two life skills can save you from a great deal of misunderstanding and suffering. What are your ways to stop racing thoughts or a run away mouth?#BeInControlOfYourThoughtsAndMouth #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “It is what it is.”I must have said this 10 times this past weekend.  I did a show with my mobile unit and sales were not great.  I had to accept the fact that the goal I set was not going to be met.It is what it is can be one of the most difficult concepts to wrap your head around, because we tend to see things as we WANT them to be, not as they are.If a situation, relationship, or problem can be changed, then by all means, work on it. If it can't, then you must learn to accept it, As. It. Is.When you focus on what IS NOT, then you remove the opportunity for gratitude. Being grateful for what you already have, like the sales I WAS making and how beautiful the weather was, often attracts more of what you want. Focusing on how it's NOT puts you in a negative head space and lowers your ability to see things clearly. It also makes you feel bad.Accepting things/people as they are doesn't mean you've given up, it means you've learned to let go of things you can't control. Nothing I could have done would have changed the fact that there were fewer people at the show than expected and those that were there just weren't buying what I was selling.  It is what it is, not what it should be, not what it could have been.  And that's OK.#BeAcceptingOfWhatIs #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "One of the hardest things to do is to forgive someone that isn't sorry."Sometimes people don't say sorry. Sometimes people don't believe they were wrong. But that doesn't matter. Apologies aren't what vindicate you, you vindicate yourself.Don't wait for someone to apologize and hold a grudge against them until they do. Do you know why? Because the person that feels the wrath of your anger, frustration, and hatred, is you.Rather than waiting for an apology, or expecting one to come, realize it may never happen, and that's OK. Because your happiness doesn't depend on someone else saying sorry. Your life and your happiness depend on you and no one else.#BeOkWithNoApology #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Everything changes when you realize that the best version of yourself is not a future version, but a daily choice."Often we imagine that we will work really hard at life and then arrive at some perfect version of ourselves in the future. Then we will be happy. This is a delusion. Your best self is the result of a life lived with purpose, choosing yourself, your highest self, with every decision you make. Asking yourself “What would my best self do?"  "What would my best self say in this situation?" It begins by having a clear vision of who you want to be.  By asking yourself, "What IS the highest version of myself?"  Who do you visualize as that person? How do they act, think, speak, look? Then live your life as this person now. It is a process within the movement of life itself. See it as an activity. Daily choices to choose the high road living with intention, kindness, love, living from your heart. Or choosing the lower road, living without much thought of how your actions and words impact others. This is living from your ego. Every day with every decision you get the choice to live as the best version of you.  To be who you want to be NOW.#BeYourHighestSelf  #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “You don't walk away to teach someone a lesson, you walk away when you have learned yours.”Life will keep giving you the same scenario until you've learned the lesson. So, if you find yourself in toxic relationships over and over again, you must look at why.  Co-dependency is allowing someone to see your kindness as a weakness and taking advantage of it.Having a big heart is wonderful but not if you sacrifice your well-being. It is SO HARD to give up on a relationship. But you must remember that you can't love someone into wellness. Remember, it's okay to say “No”. It's okay and healthy to set boundaries. It's okay to require others to be responsible for their decisions and actions.It's time to recognize that you cannot make them happy but you can support them (from a distance) in creating their own happiness.  You should never work harder on someone else's life than they do.#BeWillingToWalkAway #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "There is usually an inside story for every outside behavior."When we don't understand a behavior we tend to think a person is doing something on purpose to hurt us. But beneath every behavior is a feeling. And beneath every feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom.People's behavior makes sense if you think about it in terms of their needs and the motives to fulfil that need. No one exists this world to test our patience, wear us out or push us to the edge. They come into our lives for love, connection and a sense of belonging.It's not your job to fix them, shame them, or change them. By all means protect your peace, but love them, and support them in identifying the need that is creating the feelings that are behind the behavior. Fill it and they will want to change their behavior themselves.It's not always easy, and sometimes their needs cannot be met by anyone, but your compassion will never be wrong. And hopefully you will discover that their behavior has nothing to do with you.#BeAwareOfTheNeed#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #MorningMantras#InspirationalQuotes#HorseHippie#HorseHippieBrand#HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Someone else's expectations for you don't have to be your expectations for yourself."For too long, many of us internalized the belief that our worth is tied to how much we endure, accommodate, or sacrifice. But peace kept through self-erasure is not peace—it's performance. Real healing begins when we unlearn the reflex to shrink ourselves to soothe discomfort that isn't ours. When we stop setting ourselves on fire to illuminate the darkness in others, we discover our own inner light was always enough. The guilt we carry often belongs to someone else's expectations. Releasing that weight is not abandonment, it is alignment. In choosing not to sacrifice our truth for connection, we honor a deeper truth: that love, in its highest form, does not demand our self-destruction.#BeFreeOfExpectations #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #MorningMantras #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “Make good choices today so you don't have regrets tomorrow.”Everything in your life is a reflection of a choice you have made. If you want different results, you need to make different choices. Here are a number of mantras you can use to start your day, and throughout your day, to remind you the choice is yours.I can choose not to get angry.I can choose not to take offense.I can choose not to dwell on criticism.I can choose to pick my words with more thought.I can choose compassion.I can choose to ignore negativity and see positive.I can choose to be kind.I can choose to respond with love.At any point you can change the direction of your life by a simple choice. It's all in your hands, your heart, and your mind.#BeInChargeOfYourChoices #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #MorningMantras #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."Moving on, starting something new, leveling up, all require the end of how things are now.  There is so much opportunity in the ending, but most people focus on the new start.All endings are a chance to rest, to breathe, and to reflect on the conclusion of that part of your journey in preparation for the new one.Take time to process the feelings, and the lessons you gain from the ending. Take the best with you. Leave the rest behind.Not every ending will be happy, but every ending offers a reason to be grateful. #BeWillingToFocusOnTheEnding  #BeHappy #BeHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippie #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 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: "Some people create their own storms, then get upset when they get wet."There will always be those people in your life (hopefully it's not you) that create drama.  The peace they seek scares them so much that they self-sabotage their happiness.  They create chaos for the excitement it brings into their life- even though it's negative. They quit jobs, break off relationships, stop paying bills, over spend, drink or eat too much. Then they complain about it.  They look for people to blame. They make excuses. They refuse to accept any part in their unhappiness.  They look for ways to avoid facing the truth.They create the storm because they love the drama, just don't let them pull you into it.#BeAwareOfTheStormPeople #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBoutique #InspirationalQuotes #Inspire #QuotesToMakeYouFeelGood #QuotesFromTheHeart #MorningMantras

Morning Mantra: "If your happiness depends on something you can lose, you'll spend your entire life afraid of losing it."  The more you cling to something, the more fear you have of losing that something or someone. When we cling onto things that feel good, it's often because we fear that something so good won't come around again. We fear that this person, this experience, this feeling might go away, but that's just not true. Good things are abundant. Good feelings are abundant. Happiness is infinite, and the beauty of this world is boundless and endless. The moment you begin to perceive everything good in life as perpetual, the less fearful you are of letting go of the things that are no longer serving you.The less fear you have, the more room you have for love.  Strive to make your love greater than your fear, and let love be the most powerful force in your life.  #BeWillingToFearLosingLess #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBrand

Morning Mantra: "Don't let part-time givers be full-time takers.”We basically teach people how to treat us by what we tolerate, so either you wake up to your value or they do. If they don't it's time to let go.This starts with learning your worth. Know the difference between what you're getting and what you deserve. If you don't learn your value then you look to others for it and you may end up with less than you are worthy of.If someone treats you like an option, help them narrow their choices and remove yourself from the equation. Sometimes you don't mean as much as you think to someone that means so much to you. But if you let them continue to devalue you it will effect your self-esteem, it will effect how you see yourself.Everything becomes very simple when you decide not to settle for less than what you know you are worth.#BeAwareOfYourWorth#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: “Behind every strong person is a story that gave them no choice.”We don't become stronger without struggle. That's an unfortunate fact. Life is a cycle of good times and bad times, happiness and sadness, peace and struggle. If I lose my faith during difficult times in my life then that is a signal to me that I have work to do. Because I KNOW I can handle anything that life sends my way because I have already. For 67 years. And because of this I am strong enough to handle whatever it is.Whenever you think you don't have what it takes to get through, remember how much you have already survived. Look at the heartbreak that didn't cause you to lock your heart away. Look at the lost job that tuned into a new career. Look at the health concerns that caused you to change your lifestyle. Look at the money problems that taught you how to budget and get resourceful. Look at all the ways you've learned when life gave you no choice but to. Find your strength in that.#BeStrong #BeHappy#BeHorsey #BeHippie#MorningMantras#InspirationalQuotes#HorseHippie#HorseHippieBrand#HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “Your attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”Your attitude determines so much about your life.   A bad one can literally block love, blessings and destiny from finding you. With a bad attitude you find a problem with every solution. So you stay stuck.A good attitude can cause a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It changes the way you respond and behave, therefore opening the door for solutions, acceptance and happiness.You cannot control every situation and its outcome, but you can control your attitude and how you deal with it. Problems are a part of life but your attitude is the little thing that makes a big difference in how you respond to them.#BePositiveWithYourAtiitude #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippieBoutique #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned

Morning Mantra: “Life is too short to waste time.” One of the biggest mistakes people make is to think they have time.  Ask anyone that is a bit older and they will tell you how fast their life has gone by.  It seems like I blink my eyes and another year has past.   So don't waste time.If you made a mistake, apologize. If you are thankful, say it. If you are confused, ask questions. If you learn something, teach it. If you are stuck, ask for help. If you are wrong, admit it. If you can give, give.If you miss someone, call them. And if you love someone, tell them, now.Life is too short to let your pride, ego, shame, fear, or pain stand in your way.#BeReadyToLiveFully  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Stop trying to be liked by everybody, you don't even like everybody." There is a difference between be liked and being valued. You can like someone and not value them. You can also value someone and not particularly like them.If you want to find people who truly value you then you have to be yourself. Every imperfection, every past mistake, every awkward moment. Everything.Show them who you REALLY are. Don't be liked OR valued for being fake. Because if you want an authentic relationship they have to really know you and what you bring.You'll be too much for some and not enough for others, but you'll be just right for many. It's OK if it's not a big crowd. I'd rather have a small circle of true friends that value me than a larger circle because I am faking it.#BeAllOfYou #BeHappy#BeHorsey #BeHippie#HorseHippie#MorningMantra#InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: “Today I will focus on the good news in life.”If we depend on the news headline for our view of the world it can be quite upsetting and discouraging.  There is a saying in the media, “If it bleeds it leads.” And when you read the news these days it's easy to see that they believe this.I'd rather not let them tell me how to view the world, how people are treating each other, and what the future of humanity is.  Today I will write my own headlines from my own life:Husband surprises wife with birthday party.Mother weeps at the birth of her beautiful child.Teenager teaches younger brother to play the guitar.Entire community cleans up playground.96 year old gets taken care of and adored by daughter.Dog reunited with owners.Horse recovers from neurological disease.Everyone has inside them a piece of good news, so find the good news and let it fill your headlines. Let your worries about the state of our world float away on the promise that life is more good than bad, that more people are amazing and kind than cruel, and that everything will be okay.#BelieveInTheGoodnessOfLife  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #horsehippieboutique  Quote: Anne Frank

Morning Mantra: "Life is easier when you mind your own business.”Many times we distract ourselves from the things that need fixing in our own life by trying to fix what we think is wrong in others.  Focus on your own life and you will be busy enough.As long as they are not hurting anyone or anything, let people do what they need to do to make themselves happy.  How would you feel if every time you did something other people were telling you that you shouldn't? That you are messed up and need fixing.Train yourself to see the good in others.  Look at them- even if it isn't what you'd do, what you'd wear, or how you would act and see a happy person.  In the same way you would like others to look at you and your life.  Speaking of your life, what is it that you need to work on in order to not try and fixate others? What does their happiness trigger in you? And why?Don't concern yourself with things that don't concern you. If it's not your business why make it your burden?#BeWillingToMYOB  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #morningmantra #inspirationalquotes #horsehippieboutique #quotesaboutlife #quotesoftheday

Morning Mantra: "The best way to avoid unhappiness is to simply allow life to not be perfect. “ Accepting life as it can be difficult at times.  What screws us up the most is the picture in our head of how it's supposed to be.  But reality requires us to accept some things as they are, even if it's not how we think they should be.  The quicker you can do that, the happier you'll be.Tires will go flat, people will disrespect you, and things will happen for no logical reason. Of course these things won't make you happy, but it is what it is.  Your attitude about it is what will make the difference.  Resistance to what is = frustration, anger, resentment, sadness and unhappiness.Life is a series of solving one problem after another.  Whether it's the small, easy one like what you'll have for lunch, or a big one like a health issue.  Life is very complex.But remember, you've made it this far.  You've solved all the problems, answered all the questions, survived all the drama.  Take a deep breath, smile, and know that all is well because you have the strength to handle it.#BeAcceptingOfLifeAsItIs #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "You only have so much emotional energy each day, don't fight battles that don't matter."Unfortunately, things are very tense and emotional right now. People are arguing over things just to release their anxiety.  If you're feeling highly emotional, try another route.Remind yourself that if nothing you can say or do will change the outcome, then you don't compound things with senseless battles.  Save your emotional energy for joy, gratitude, love and happiness.Reduce your stress with a nice walk, a trail ride, a run, some yoga, meditation, prayer, or playing with your kids and animals.  Focus on the here and now and don't get caught up in the "what ifs" or the "should haves".When I think of protecting my energy I feel it is simply protecting my space; what goes in and out of my ears, what I allow my eyes to see and read, who I choose to hang out with and what I allow to influence me.  #BeStingyWithYourEmotionalEnergy #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: “What separates privilege from entitlement is gratitude.”Gratitude is the ability to experience life as a gift. It liberates us from the prison of self-preoccupation.   It is the great disruptor of negative thoughts and emotions, of expecting life to be easy and thinking you are entitled.  In order to feel grateful, your ego has to take a backseat.Being grateful all the time isn't easy. But it's when you least feel thankful that you are most in need of what gratitude can give you.  Being thankful builds the mindset of a grateful perspective while opening your heart to abundance and appreciation.Gratitude is one of the strongest and most transformative states of being. It shifts your perspective from lack to abundance, from negative to positive, and from a self-centered, ego-driven existence to one of grace, compassion, and joy.#BeGratfeul #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Your perspective can be your power or your prison".Life is all about perspective and how you look at something.  If you change your perspective, you will change your experience.  Everyone has their own thoughts, views and interpretation.Your perspective is everything when you are experiencing the challenges of life.  It's not the things that happen but rather your interpretation of them. It's about the meaning you choose to give to the things that happen.Many of our problems will change to less important ones if you change how you think about them.  For example, the difference between seeing something as a setback or an opportunity is perspective.Reframing your perspective is a powerful growth move. When you feel stuck or resistant to something, pause and look for the upside.  This will turn every situation into a chance for growth, wisdom and understanding.When a photographer can't change a scene, he changes his angle and his lenses to capture the best of that scene. Similarly, when you can't change a situation in your life, change your perspective to get the best out of the situation.Change your perspective, change your life.#BeWillingToLookAtADifferentAngle #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Compassion begins when judgement ends."It's easy to look at someone else's mess and think you'd handle things better. But the truth is, things look a lot easier when it's not your heart on the line.Judging others makes us blind, where loving others is illuminating. By judging others, we blind ourselves to our own problems and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.There is a story behind every person. There's a reason why they are why they are the way they are. Try to remember that before you think you know someone's story.It's easy to judge. It's more difficult to show grace, and to understand that we all walk a different road with the baggage that life handed us.Understanding requires compassion, patience, and a willingness to believe that a good heart sometimes chooses the wrong path.Through judging we separate through understanding we grow..#BeMoreCompassionate #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “You are the sum of those you surround yourself with.”You are influenced by those you surround yourself with so don't underestimate the effects of your pessimistic, unsupportive, and critical friends.Your circle should align with your true self.  If you're not sure what that is then ask yourself if this is true...Your circle should want you to win. Your circle should clap the loudest when you have good news, and lift you up when it is hard.  Your circle should be making you stronger, and more courageous. They should require honesty and hold you accountable.If they don't, it's time get a new one. Those in your circle are your "people", and you get to decide who is in it.  #BeChooseyWithYourCircle #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian

Morning Mantra: "Grow JOY like a weed... stubborn, wild, and impossible to kill."For those of you who are exhausted by life right now...I see you. I am you.There's a lot going on in this country that's infuriating. Heartbreaking. Exhausting. It's easy to feel helpless. It's easy to lose your joy.  It's easy to feel guilty finding joy when others are suffering.But let's be clear: feeling joy isn't ignoring the problems... it's refusing to let them take everything from us.  Joy is resistance. And joy is fuel. Joy helps you not get overwhelmed by everything happening around you.Here are a few ways you can make JOY... even now, especially now:Step away from the news. Light a candle and let your breath slow down. Plant something. New life is inspiring.Find a community and start showing up for it. Focus on others over self.  Make art, even if you think it's terrible.Sing, even if you are tone deaf.Speak up. Honestly. Kindly. Fiercely.Hug someone who reminds you why we must resist the urge to quit showing up.Be choosey about what businesses you support. This gives you a feeling of control.And don't forget to laugh, even if it's bitter and sarcastic. (That still counts.)Find and practice your joy.  The world needs it now more than ever.#BeJoy #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBoutiqueQuote: Tilton Hollow

Morning Mantra: "We fall. We break. We fail.  But then.  We rise. We heal. We overcome."Everyone, I repeat, Every. Single. Person. has times in their life when they fall, when they are broken, when they fail miserably.  But you must always get back up. Get back on the horse so to say. And try again.  The quality of your life depends on it.You have to get back up, unless you want to surrender and live life blaming, complaining, and ignoring what's best in you.  You have to realize that falling down is part of life and getting back up is the actually living part.  The growing part.  The learning part.You've been falling down and getting back up since you learned to walk.  So don't quit now.If you try, I promise you that your comeback will always be greater than your setback.#BeStrongAndCarryOn  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "If you don't like the road you are walking, start paving a new one."This quote by Dolly Parton pretty much sums up life's journey.  It's not as much about  where you are going, as it is about how you get there.It's ABOUT the journey. The road you take. The happiness you find along the way.And, if you are on a road that you don't like, you can always decide to change it.You can start a new one.    It's never too late.  You're never too old to pave your future with lessons learned, dreams to chase and experiences to enjoy.Never underestimate the power you  have to take your life in a new direction.#BeWillingToPaveANewRoad #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBoutique #InspirationalQuotes #Inspire #QuotesToMakeYouFeelGood #QuotesFromTheHeart #MorningMantras

Morning Mantra: "Saying 'Yes" to your well-being means saying 'No' sometimes."This one is hard.  Because we are raised to be helpful, accommodating, and to put the needs of others ahead of our own. I have found that you have to actually learn to say no.But learning to say no must be done without feeling guilty. Setting boundaries is a healthy skill. You need to learn to respect and take care of yourself as well as everyone else or you risk burnout and feelings of resentment.It's OK to say no to someone you love. It's OK to say no to a friend. It's OK to say no in a job or relationship. It's OK to say no to a person who is romantically interested in you. Even if it hurt someone's feelings, even if you disappoint people, even if you're judged and criticized – it's OK to say no to anything or anyone that causes you pain, stretches you too thin, or makes you uncomfortable. You are allowed to put yourself first. You are allowed to set limits and boundaries. You deserve to make your own happiness and well-being a priority. You don't ever have to settle for something or someone that doesn't feel right. And you definitely don't have to compromise yourself for the sake of making other people happy.  You have to take care of yourself and if that means saying no, it's more than OK.It's only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that will help you grow and make you happy.#BeOKWithNo #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #Inspire #Quotes #FeelGoodQuotes

Morning Mantra: "People don't fake depression, they fake being okay."Times are hard right now.  People are struggling. So I'm going to make a habit of not judging someone by their appearance.  Because I don't know what's going on inside, what really is happening. We never know what is beneath the surface. We never know what anyone is really going through.  Only they know their thoughts, fears, and worries.  Just because someone posts a photo of them smiling doesn't mean they don't feel sadness. Just because you see someone laugh doesn't mean they don't cry when they are alone.  Not everyone has the strength or resources to get help when they feel really low.  They pretend to be OK.So check in with your friends.  Offer to hold their hand in the darkness if they let you in.  Smile at strangers.  Let them know they are seen.  That they matter.Let's make today a day we spread joy, compassion, understanding, and kindness.#BeSupportive #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #Inspire #Quotes #FeelGoodQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Hindsight happens after the lesson."Hindsight is not necessarily the best guide to understanding what really happened. The past is often as distorted by hindsight as it is clarified it.  It's the lesson you learn in hindsight that becomes clear.What looks inevitable in hindsight is often invisible with foresight. Often years after disappointments and painful circumstances occur, you look back and, because hindsight is 20/20, you can see clearly how the very thing you thought was the road to your demise was actually the road to your freedom and joy. This is when you begin to see that everything comes to bless you to the degree that you begin to trust instead of distrust the universe you are inseparable from. It is highly unfair for you to expect yourself to see this while you are smack dab in the middle of seemingly unfair and tragic circumstances.You must forgive yourself for not having the foresight to know what seems to be so obvious in hindsight.#BeOkWithHindsight #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie  #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Grace is the face that love wears when it meets imperfection."I've learned not to hold people hostage to who they used to be. We all carry versions of ourselves that no longer fit—the mistakes we made, the things we didn't know, the pain we caused when we didn't yet understand our own.I've seen how easily someone can be reduced to their worst moment, how quickly a past version becomes the only version others choose to remember. But the truth is, people outgrow their old skin. They stumble, they learn, and if life allows, they try to do better. We all have chapters we wish we could rewrite. That doesn't mean we haven't earned the right to start a new one.I've watched friends become softer, more patient. I've seen people who once lived in chaos become anchors for others. Growth isn't always loud or dramatic—it's often quiet, steady, unglamorous. But it's real. And when we dismiss someone for who they were, we miss out on who they've worked so hard to become.No one should be permanently defined by a version of themselves they've already outgrown. We're all in motion, figuring things out, trying again. And if we can give that grace to ourselves, we should be willing to offer it to others too.#BeWillingToGiveGrace #BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire#HorseHippieBrand

Morning Mantra: "You are allowed to change anytime you want to."You can wake up any day and decide that it's time. It's time to choose new experiences, new looks, new places, and if necessary, new people.  It's time to let go of anything that no longer makes you feel your best, anything that makes you feel less than, or keeps you from shining.It's time to speak freely, walk more confidently, laugh louder, and glow from the inside out.  It's time to truly be who you are underneath all the conditioning, underneath all the worry and concern about what they will think of you.Let go of the fear that they won't like the new you. Your true friends will always love you. Your real loves will be happy to see you happy, to see you growing, to see you living your best life as your best self.Anyone that isn't happy for you or isn't cheering you on is just holding you back.  Life is too short to waste time and energy trying to convince anyone that who you really are and how you want to live is okay.  Let them judge and criticize- just let them do it without you.Change can be scary but be the fearless you, and go for it. Be willing to change if you want to. #BeBraveEnoughToChange  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie  #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Stay anchored in love."In a world spiraling with so much noise, fear, and division, the greatest revolution is to stay anchored in love. According to the research of Dr. David Hawkins, “One individual who vibrates to the energy of pure love will counterbalance the negativity of 750,000 who do not." Vibrate in the energy of pure love, not passive, head-in-the-sand love, but loud love.  Love that sees the darkness and feels compassion for suffering, but chooses to shine anyway.Bravely, boldly and without excuses or apology.The more you let your love shine, the more you see the love around you.  The more you are anchored in love, the more you counteract the noise, the hate, the bullying, and judgement.So shine beautiful one.  Shine bright. The world needs your light.#BeAShiningLoghtOfLove #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "There are two things we get at the start of each new day; A chance and a choice."Each morning you wake up with the chance to live your life the way you choose. Will you live with love, compassion, honesty, inclusion and gratitude?  Or will you choose to live it focused on what's wrong with you, your life, your job, or your relationships?If you choose to focus on what's wrong you then have the choice to do something about what you don't like.  Not satisfied with your health- go for a walk.Not happy with your job- spend some time exploring new ones.Not feeling the love in your relationship? Explore ways to improve it or to move on.Life will always throw you a curve ball-it's how we grow. Some of these will seem unsurmountable. But you STILL get a chance to choose how you respond.  Will you live bitter or better?  Will you live with a victim mentality or will you see each obstacle as a way to build your self esteem with the power to overcome?The number of days you get is limited so don't waste another one unhappy with your life.  You have a CHANCE to CHOOSE something better.  Let today be the day you start.#BeChooseyWithYourChances #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “We should be lifting each other up and cheering each other on, not trying to outshine one another. The sky would be really dark with just one star.”Maybe it's time to see how your life could change if you stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about the people you encounter. It's really hard to do as humans are wired to be judgey. But it's possible.This is especially difficult these days, but what if you start by looking for the good in everyone you meet (in person and online) and respecting their journey. Even if it's a journey you know will end up on the wrong side of history, or will end up damaging their lives.What if you start by saying something kind to everyone today- even something as simple as a compliment about their appearance. Even if it isn't received as you hoped.What if you just started accepting people as they are, where they are. Even if they are not who you'd like them to be or where you think they should be in their life.  Because accepting that you cannot change them (nor would they if you could) sets you free from disappointment and frustration.What if you started treating others as you want to be treated? Remember, if you can't help, at least do no harm.  Would you want your entire life to be judged at your lowest? By your worst mistakes or bad decisions.Not everyone is as far along on their journey of healing and enlightenment as others, so be the person you'd like to be. I'm sure that is kind, accepting, helpful and loving.#BeALifter #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutiqueQuote: Steve Maraboli

Morning Mantra: “Authenticity is just honesty, wrapped up in a little bravery."One of the most difficult things in our culture to do is to be your authentic self. To not doubt who you are. From an early age we feel the pressure to belong to this group or that group. This status or that. To fit in, conform, and change to please.To be who you truly are is scary, and with social media and the all keyboard critics, it can become even worse. It takes courage to listen to that little voice inside that whispers, “Yes, this is me.” That voice is the choice to listen to YOURSELF and not anyone else. To live otherwise is pretending.Belonging doesn't require us to CHANGE who we are, it requires us to BE who we are. The right people will accept you for who you are if you ARE who you really are meant to be. So set aside your fear of rejection, criticism or judgement and be authentic.#BeHonest #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalquotes #HorseHippieBoutique #WomenOwned #MadeByWomen

Morning Mantra: "Today I wake up with love."I hope you wake up a full of love. Love for life, love for others, and most importantly, love for yourself.Where there is love, there is life. There is hope. There is happiness. There is kindness. There is beauty. There is absence of judgment.There is acceptance.And yes, there is loss.The only life worth living is a life full of love, and loss is always a part of this equation. Love and loss are two sides of the same coin because to fully understand the value of love you will have to know what it feels like to lose it. But it's good to remember that those we love never leave us. They are always a part of us.Sometimes after losing a love people close their hearts so they never feel pain again, but that is not living. For to know the force of love you must risk the loss. I would rather love and get hurt than to never feel the power of love.A life full of love is just another way to say living.#BeWillingToLoveLife#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire#HorseHippieBrand

Morning Mantra: "Today is the first day of the rest of your life."If I could tell you just one thing, right now, I would say – I hope you do it. I hope you reach towards the things you can't stop thinking about. I hope you walk down the unknown path that scares you, but also holds the promise of something that feels honest and beautiful, and right. I would tell you that this life is so short, and it goes by so fast, and you might as well be brave and foolish and risk it all for something that matters. And I will tell you to let go of the "should dos" and "ought tos" that lead you down unaligned paths and ask yourself – what is my heart trying to tell me?If you get out of your mind and stop overthinking, what is your soul telling you to do? What does your heart know you need in your life?Be still, be open, seek guidance from the Universe, then be brave enough to go for it.#BeWillingToListenToYourHeart #BeHappy#beHorsey #BeHippie#HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire

Morning Mantra: “I trust the next chapter of my life because the author is me.”Isn't it great that you get to write the story of your life? You get to decide the characters that are in it. You get to decide how the main character (you) will think, feel, act, and interact with the supporting characters.Sure, the plot may have some unexpected twists that surprise you, but you get to decide how they affect you and how you will change in response to them.Without realizing this, many people allow life to write the story for them without taking DELIBERATE action to write their story in their own voice. Or they allow other people to tell them how the story should go. Remember, YOU are the author of your story, don't let anyone else hold the pen.You can trust the next page, chapter or the end, because you get to write, edit, and rewrite it every day until it's perfect.#BeTheAuthorofYourStory #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Today's possibilities are endless."When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life. See the positive possibilities in this day, you've done it before and you can do it now. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and disappointment and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable, determination.  Remember to not become too attached to anyone one belief or outcome that you cannot see past another possibility.Choose to look at situations that impede your progress as obstacles, not defeats. The difference between an obstacle and a defeat is simple – an obstacle opens the door to possibilities, defeat closes it.Believing in possibility tells the Universe that hope lives within you and faith is the lantern that lights the way to make your dreams a reality.#BeFullOfPossibilities #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutiqueQuotes; Eckhart Tolle' and JoEllen Lucero

Morning Mantra: “Healing also means taking an honest look at the role you play in your own suffering.”Personal accountability is essential to growth. Understanding that you alone create and control your thoughts, emotions, actions and reactions.Sometimes you can play a role in your own suffering by standing by waiting for other people to change instead of holding them accountable and deciding what you will no longer tolerate.Sometimes you can play a role in your own suffering by not being accountable yourself.  Made a mistake?  Own it.  Hurt someone you love? Apologize for it.Remember that you must be an active participant in creating the changes you seek in life. Shift your perspective from blame to introspection, and from pain to choosing change.#BeAccountable #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Shine so bright that others can see their way out of the dark."We are here to be a light. Not to be divisive, mean, angry, or bitter.We are here to show love and be loved. We are here to find the good in others, as well as the good within ourselves.Don't for a moment let someone make you believe you are less than. That you are not a light of love. That you are unworthy of love.You have so much good within you, so much love, kindness, and compassion, that if someone can't see that, it is a reflection of their blindness to the light.Shine bright beautiful one.#BeTheLight #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #Inspire #Quotes #FeelGoodQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Fear controls you so it's time to face it."What are you afraid of?  Stop for a second and write down something you are afraid of that is holding you back.  Now, write down ways you can over it.  It doesn't have to be well thought out, just get started.For me it's always been to be seen as "less than". And snakes. I'm terrified of snakes. Because of this fear I have spent my life chasing things to make me appear beautiful, successful and "enough".  Then one day I realized that I couldn't keep it up and decided I needed to address this fear.  To face it and find out what was behind it.I started to see that my fear was based in rejection.  If I was "enough" I wouldn't be rejected.  But wait, I had busted my butt all my life to be enough and I still had many times that I was rejected.  It dawned on me that the only person I needed to be good enough for was me.If I accepted myself- flaws and all- I didn't need outside acceptance to feel good enough.  It was a difficult and life changing process but I no longer fear rejection.What is holding you back, or maybe you're like me and it's driving you to exhaustion?  It's time to stop letting it control your life.  To free yourself from the grip of fear.  Facing your fears can be scary, but you know what it even scarier? Allowing fear to stop you from growing, progressing and living your life on your own terms.#BeReadyToFaceYourFears  #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippieBoutique #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Feel the feeling, but don't become the emotion. Witness it. Allow it. Release it."How you respond to each moment is a choice. No matter how frustrating or boring or constraining or painful or oppressive our experience, you can always choose how you respond.Learning to self-regulate is mastery. Self-control is a strength. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn't shift based on what's happening in the world around you.Same goes for other people. It's OK if someone's in a bad mood. It's not your job to “fix” it. It's not your responsibility to walk on eggshells, keep asking what's wrong, read their mind or come up with potential solutions.Your job is to give them space to self-regulate and to offer support if they need it. Don't allow your emotions or those of others to control the direction of your life. Don't allow their lack of emotional self-control limit yours.#BeEmotionallyIntelligent #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #Inspire #Quotes #FeelGoodQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Stop waiting for the future, enjoy your life now."There is a future version of yourself that is begging THIS version of yourself to enjoy where you currently are just a little bit more.  So stop chasing the future and see all the joy, love and happiness that exits in your life already.So many people live their lives waiting for Friday before they enjoy their days.  Or waiting for everything to be perfect before they try something new.  Or waiting until they are thinner before going to the beach and running into the waves.  Or waiting until they retire to travel.  The problem with this thinking is those things may never happen if you wait.Every day should be a day of living not just existing.Every day there is something to celebrate- even if it's just that you can hear the birds singing, or feel the purring of your cat.  Even something as small as the love you feel when best friend texts you, or even the tasty meal you just made.  These are simple things but they create an attitude about your life that allows you to enjoy it- NOW.Sure life is geared towards the bigger events- but why wait to live fully?  Why wait to enjoy yourself, to enjoy your life? Even if it's a lesser version of what you dream of, the time to do it is now.  The time to go for it, is now.  The time to love your life is now.#BeReadyToEnjoyLifeNOW  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #Morningquotes #motivationalquotes

Morning Mantra: "You never look good trying to make someone else look bad."This is one I have shared before but it seems important to re-share it in this time of confusion and chaos in my country.The internet has made it possible for us to connect with others everywhere. It also has made it possible for people to feel they have the right to say anything. For trolls to create division and perpetuate lies. Don't go there. Speak your truth but If people want to bully and be mean, ignore them. Their opinion is not your problem.  You'll never change their mind anyway so don't spend your precious energy trying to justify and defend. Preserve it for spreading truth, love and kindness.As one of my favorite authors says, "if you're not kind on the internet, you are not kind." {Glennon Doyle}So be kind, spread love, truth and ignore the haters.#BeRealAndKind #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: “Pay more attention to a person's intention rather than their appearance. Don't confuse their soul with their shell.”We are so quick to judge others in our society. Social media doesn't help. Most people are pretending to be someone they think others will like or “follow”. But the purest, most giving people often come disguised as someone you wouldn't naturally be drawn to. Be open to them. Look at their actions and their intentions, not their appearance.Remember, people make mistakes, even with the best intentions. If you have been hurt by someone, try to look at what they intended to do. Was it to cause you pain? Or are they ignorant of their impact? Intention is everything in this case. It's easier to forgive someone if you believe they didn't know better.Then there are those that appear pure and loving with the worst intentions. They lure you into thinking they have your best interests at heart but have a goal to harm you.  Maybe they are jealous or resentful of your success.  Maybe they want what you have. Or they could just be broken with no moral compass. Be careful, watch closely, they will eventually reveal themselves.#BeAwareOfIntention #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian

Morning Mantra: “Some of your best days are ahead of you.”If you are feeling a little down, try to focus on the fact that you have a lot to look forward to.  How cool is it to think that you haven't met all your best friends? You haven't heard all your favorite songs or eaten all your favorite meals.  You haven't made all your favorite memories. It might help to remember that your present situation is not your destination. There is much more to live for, much more to learn, so far to grow, and so much love to give and receive.Let today be what it is live it with the knowledge that better days are coming.#BeLookingForward #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “Don't worry about whether people like you, most people don't even like themselves.”It can feel icky when someone puts you down, argues or tries to make you feel bad.  Try not worry about what people think of you though or about the way they try to make you feel. If people want to see you as a "good" person, they will. If they want to see you as a "bad" person, absolutely nothing you will do can stop them.  This seems to be even more true in today's world of social media and it's negative influence.Ironically, the more you try to show someone your good intentions, the more reasons you give them to knock you down- if they are committed to misunderstanding you.  It's like adding fuel to their fire of misunderstanding.  More words, apologies, deeds or sucking up won't put that fire out.  They are committed to it.  They are fanning the flames.It can be really frustrating in some cases and really hurtful in others, but try and remember it rarely has anything to actually DO with YOU.  Their determination to dislike you is more about what they see in you that they lack, or because they are too emotionally immature to see another view, clap for another's success or let go of their pain.Keep your head up high and be confident in what you do, who you are, and spend the energy elsewhere- somewhere you are appreciated, respected and loved.#BeAmazingAnyway #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippieBoutique #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique
