Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "I don't need everyone to understand my path.  I just need them to stop standing in it."People generally have good intentions when they give you unsolicited advice.  They think they know more than you and are trying to help you avoid failure.  I call these people Dreamshitters.No one knows what you know, what you think, what you are capable of- except you.  If you allow them to influence you then YOU are the one making a choice to quit.  You are the one standing in your path.Sometimes the Universe sends these people or other obstacles to see how much you really want something- not to discourage or warn you.So, don't let someone that doesn't understand the dream convince you it's too big or unattainable.  It doesn't matter what they think- it only matters what you think.Keep chasing.#BeADreamChaser #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "One day you will wake up and there won't be any more time to do the things you've always wanted. Do it now."It's a terrible thing in life to wait to do something on your bucket list until you think you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever really ready. There's almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.Too many people go through life waiting for things to happen instead of making them happen.  But action creates motivation. Action creates a plan. Time is a valuable commodity and it waits for no one. So start.  Just start.Begin by thinking, what can you do today to improve the chances?  Is it more money? More time? Overcoming fear? Whatever it is, start today in overcoming it.If you want to do something then begin now because life is short and you never know if you'll get a chance to do it later.#BeWillingToDoIt #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "You find your rhythm when you realize that even the steps backwards were part of the dance."Life is like a dance, and you are the choreographer.  You don't know the steps until you learn them because in life, you learn as you go. Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. Sometimes you're moving forward, sometimes you're moving back.Sometimes you're waltzing through it gracefully and other times it's two step forward and one step back.Try to embrace every step, make your dance as fun and beautiful as possible, and if you stumble or fall, make it part of the dance. When you do, you will find your rhythm. #BeAHappyDancer #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "You can spend your whole life avoiding embarrassment and accidentally avoid joy too."Embarrassment is caused by putting far too much thought into what other people think very little about.It's better to not care what people think and live life to the fullest rather than missing out and being someone you aren't.  Because sometimes embarrassment is the cost of entry to an amazing adventure.The people actually enjoying life are allowing themselves to be excited, emotional, passionate, invested in joy. Existing like you're too cool to care about anything is such a dull way to experience being alive.Sometimes the greatest things about life are the most embarrassing! They offer things that no other moment can.  And many times we look back and realize that those moments were the funniest, most exciting, most joy – filled moments in our lives.So stop overthinking it and wear the bathing suit to the beach and swim with your kids or grandkids, dance even when people are watching, play the game at the party, try something new! Hopefully you will realize how rarely people actually care about what you do. Don't  give up the opportunities for happiness that life offers.#BeOkWithEmbarassing #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Never tell a person to be strong when they come to you to be weak."I know I talk a lot on here about being positive.  But there is a phenomenon called toxic positivity that we should all be aware of.Toxic positivity is a process which results in denial, minimization, and invalidation of the authentic human emotional experience.Toxic positivity is a forced, false positivity. So when you or someone share something difficult, it insists that you turn it into something positive.  Which ultimately should be our goal, except we need to feel our emotions, process the experience, and find our way to a better place authentically.If someone comes to you in their weakest state, let's say from grief, and you encourage them to be strong instead of allowing them to experience the grief, what you're basically saying to them is your comfort is more important than their reality.There's a difference between being truly happy and pretending everything‘s fine when it's not. Let's not encourage ourselves or others to feel like it's “wrong” for feeling anything but OK.  Let's be a safe space for real feelings.#BeOpenToLessThanHappySometimes #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Sometimes the wait is longer because the blessing is bigger."When you have a dream that you can't let go of, trust your instincts and pursue it. But remember; real dreams take work, they take patience, and sometimes they require you to dig down very deep.Waiting for things to happen can require a deep amount of patience. And patience isn't simply the ability to wait, it's how we behave while we're waiting.You must remember and believe that everything comes to you at the right time. Each day is a step forward. Even if it feels like a small one. Never give up on something really want. Dreams don't expire; they wait patiently for your courage to catch up.#BePatientWithTheProcess  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “It's not how we fall that defines us. It's how we get up again.”It's called falling forward. Falling forward is the ability to get back up after you've been knocked down. When you fall, process it, take responsibility for your response to it, learn from it, and move forward in a better direction.You only really fail if you stay down.Failure and falling are a part of life. Getting back up and learning are living.#BeAForwardFaller #BeHappy #BeHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippie #HorsehippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "What if things work out better than expected?"This mantra is a little permission slip to expect good things.  To think things could go the way you want instead of always thinking the worse.It's easy to go to the dark side, but you can retrain your mind, your thoughts, your energy to a more positive path.  If you don't open up to the idea of a different outcome then your thoughts are just replaying past impressions.As soon as you "hear" yourself think the worse, become aware of the thought pattern and shift it to something that could go right.  For example, "I bet it will rain all over my party" turns into "It could just be a passing shower"  and eventually "The weather will be perfect on Saturday."Whatever is going to happen will happen regardless of how you overthink it.  But you staying hopeful, grateful and optimistic makes YOU able to handle the outcome better.  Even if it does rain, your attitude about it will be much more conducive to a fun party!Why add yucky feelings to your day?  Flip the switch on your thinking and expect the BEST!#BeGoodVibes #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Sometimes doing nothing is the best thing you can do...for you." Something that is very prevalent in society right now is performance pressure.When we see someone working 80 hours a week, we don't think they are depressed or stressed.  No, we think they are ambitious, responsible, impressive!But what if overworking is a symptom of a fear of not being enough and a need to be valued?  The voice in your head saying you're "not doing enough" isn't yours.It's inherited.  It's been passed down from society, educators, and your parents who taught us that our worth is based on achievement.We need to stop glamorizing overworking. The absence of sleep, good diet, exercise, relaxation, and time with friends and family isn't something to be applauded.Too many people wear their burnout as a badge of honor.But what are they running from? Why must they stay so busy?Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is rest. You're worth isn't measured by your hustle.#BeWillingToSilenceTheVoiceInYourHead #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Don't let the ugly in others kill the beauty in you."Cruel people exist everywhere, spreading pain to feel powerful.  Genuinely happy people are not unkind. They're too busy pursuing their dreams and spending time with their loved ones to find time to spew negativity. Don't let the cruelty from people who don't even like themselves or their life affect you.Remember- kindness is rebellion: so stay human, set boundaries, heal loudly, and never allow their bitterness to find your spirit or steal your joy.#BeHappyNotCruel #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Live the story you want to tell."You've worked too hard to give up now or not change your story. I know it might be hard, but your journey is not over. Recharge and start again.  You have so much more to tell. Give your soul the space to breathe. Open up and let your heart sing. Accept your story and what has happened, but don't take the expired energy into the life you want to create today, tomorrow, this month, or next year. Start writing a new story. Let the fresh energy flow through your body and fill you with good vibes. Turn the page over and start a new chapter.  You got this.#BeTheAuthorOfYourStory #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."In a world that often feels cold and harsh, choose to be the light that reminds others goodness still exist. Be the reason someone believes in pure hearts, and genuine kindness, and in souls that expect nothing in return. Let your actions, your words, and your presence reflect compassion and sincerity. You never know how deeply your small act of love and kindness might heal someone's heart, or restore their faith in humanity.Start your day by reflecting light.#BeTheLight #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Every day brings a choice; to practice stress or to practice peace."The first step in practicing peace is to figure out what is causing your stress.  Is it a need to be perfect? Is it the inability to forgive someone?  Maybe it's the fear over missed deadlines. Or maybe it's your health or financial situation.Whatever it is, you can make it a practice to find peace in your day.  The secret is to practice mindfulness. The soul always knows how to heal itself, the challenge is to quiet the mind.The mind is the one that creates the stress through your thoughts about any given situation. You can learn to observe your thoughts rather than embody them.  To recognize that it's your thoughts about that need for perfection, deadline, or whatever, that is causing your stress.  A quiet mind doesn't mean there will be no thoughts, it means they will be on the surface and your peaceful self will be within observing.The goal of inner peace isn't to control your thoughts, but to stop letting them control you.#BeWillingToPracticePeace #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Life itself is a privilege, but to live life to the fullest, well, that's a choice."If each of us knew how much time we had allocated, perhaps we could play around with it. But we don't. Believing tomorrow is a guarantee, is the biggest mistake we make. Not seizing every day like the gift that it is, is the biggest risk we take. Waste time wisely. Time spent in rest, joy, company and kindness is never wasted. But doom scrolling, arguing, ignoring things that matter, or not appreciating what is  in your life are time suckers.As for the things you want to do but are scared to try, just do it. You won't regret the things you tried and failed at, but you will regret a life spent waiting to do it.Prioritize your time for the life you were born to live.#BeAwareOfTime #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "It doesn't really matter who you used to be; what matters is who you are becoming."Think of the person you've always wanted to become. The person that makes their dream a reality. What would they be doing right now? What would they say about their life? What would they be thinking about?Now accept that this person IS you. Start showing up for that person. Start showing up for yourself. And you will understand that this person has always BEEN you. You've always had this power within you to glow, grow, and achieve your biggest dreams.So BE them!  Go get that life.  Go chase that dream.#BeThePersonYouWantToBe #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "The only thing harder than change is choosing to be stuck in the same place for too long."You are not stuck.You are choosing the familiar because your nervous system has confused it with safe.  You are choosing a life that might not be the best for you because you know it rather than risk the unknown in search of something better.If you don't like how you feel then risk change. I've been there. We probably all have at one point in our lives.  But don't settle.  I wanted something different for myself. So I took responsibility for how I chose to show up. I learned to recognize the cycles I was stuck in. I learned to recognize when I didn't do right by myself. I became aware of the thoughts I had on repeat. I stepped out of my victim mentality. I called myself out on my own BS. I was done letting myself down.There will be a time where things are aligned and you will feel free to just be. Don't keep choosing safe over life.#BeWillingToChange    #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Instead of labeling your emotions as problems to solve, see them as signals to interpret."Anger is information. Sadness is information. Anxiety is information.Your emotions are insight not personality flaws. Stop trying to fix them. Start trying to read them. They're telling you something useful.Anger says “look into what you're afraid to lose. “Guilt says “you're not aligned with your values. “Fear says “you're being challenged to grow. “Shame says “work on your sense of self-worth. “Anxiety says “learn to quiet your mind.”Sadness says “pay attention to what is lacking.”Resentment says “work on your victim mentality. “When you refuse to embrace your negative emotions, you are refusing to heal the part of you that was triggered.  Sit with them. Learn from them.#BeOKWithYourEmotions #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Be careful how you speak to yourself because you are listening."Speak positive words into your life every single morning.  And when you are thinking about what to say to yourself...Think big. Think healing. Think success. Think peace. Think happiness. Think growth mindset. What you think about triggers an emotional response in your body so make your thoughts good ones.  Your thoughts can motivate your actions so think about what you'd like to do in your life.  And say it like it is on it's way.When you speak these things out loud they become much more powerful.  Words carry energy and life will respond to it.  So always start the day with positive energy. You deserve it.#BePositiveInTheMorning #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Today I will appreciate everything."Appreciate it. Appreciate when you walk outside and the sun warms you. Appreciate it when someone smiles at you. Appreciate the people who tell you they care about you. Appreciate who you are and appreciate you are here for a reason. Appreciate that people want you here and that they love you. Appreciate the effort people give you. Appreciate the way you feel when you accomplish something you thought you couldn't. Appreciate that your mind races with ideas at 3 AM because it means you're still dreaming. Appreciate the moment you catch yourself smiling for no reason at all. Appreciate all the blessings in your life. No matter how minuscule. And the same goes for all the lessons you have endured. Appreciate you are constantly evolving and that the position that you're in right now is you're not your final destination.#BeAppreciative #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Today is the youngest I'll ever be."No matter your age you'll always wish you started younger. But don't be afraid to start now anyway. Don't let where you are in life make you afraid of new beginnings. Don't shy away from new people, new energy, new surroundings.Embrace new chances at living the life you dream of no matter what age you are.You may not be as young as you wished you were when you started, but you're never too old to create a new life or try something new.  The only thing that is dated is the thought that it's too late.Your present circumstances or age don't determine where you can go. They merely determine where you start.#BeWillingToStartNow #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Two things can be true at the same time."We often think in black and white when it comes to our spirituality.   That you are not being spiritually awaken if you feel anything but joy and happy all the time. But you can feel two things at once.  Spirituality helps you face the human experience, not suppress it.You can be personally happy and heartbroken for the world.You can be grateful for your home and still be bummed you don't have the resources to fix something.You can be angry at the traffic that is making you late and still understand that you must accept it.You can feel tired of your job and still be grateful you have one.You can be disappointed in your riding and still be excited about what there is to learn.And so on....Being anything but grateful, joyful, peaceful and loving doesn't mean you are not spiritually awakened.  It means you're human.  So show your self some grace and keep on feeling, doing, and improving.#BeOkWithYourHumanNess  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "You only have so much emotional energy each day, don't fight battles that don't matter."   Things feel very tense and emotional right now. It feels like people are arguing over things just to release their anxiety.  Or saying hurtful things trying to cling to some sense of control.If you're one of those that are feeling highly emotional, try another route. Reduce your stress with a nice walk, a trail ride, a run, some yoga, meditation, prayer, or playing with your kids and animals.If nothing you can say or do will change the outcome, then don't compound things with senseless battles.Save your emotional energy for joy, gratitude, love and happiness.#BeStingyWithYourEmotionalEnergy  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: “Don't trust everything your mind is telling you.”It all begins and ends with your mind and what you think. If your mind tells you that you aren't good enough you will begin to believe it. If your mind reacts with anxiety or fear in a stressful situation, you will be stressed and  fearful. If you think you can't do something, you'll stay stuck. If you interpret someone's behavior as a reflection of your worth, then you won't behave in a way that opens your heart for a deeper connection.Control your mind and you can change your life. Grab your power back, don't believe everything you think. Calm your thoughts.  Get out of your head and back to your heart. Step back from your immediate reaction and look for the truth.Make sure your own worst enemy isn't living between your own two ears.#BeAwareOfYourThoughts #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #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.  Most people only look at endings as something sad.  But just think, without the sunset, we wouldn't get the new day.The new day brings new opportunities.  To learn. To grow. To heal. To explore. To cry. To sing. To dance. To ridde.To start something new and better.To find your joy.Look at the end as a new beginning and your view will change.  You can still not love the change that comes with most endings, but you might start looking at the opportunities too.#BeOKWithEndings #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "You are not defined by your past; you are prepared by it."Everything you've gone through deposited something on the inside. You've had both positive and negative experiences and you will continue to because that. is. life.You can decide if you want to hold onto the negative experiences and let them limit you. Make you fearful, stressed, or a victim.Or you can look back at EVERYTHING and see that because of your past you are stronger, more experienced, and knowledgeable.Don't negate the value in your past. You went through each thing to prepare you to grow into whatever version of you that you choose.#BePrepared #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippieBoutique #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned 

Morning Mantra: "Life is a classroom.  Never stop learning because life never stops teaching."    We are all teachers and students of life.  To be a good student we must be teachable and keep an open mind.  We must be humble and recognize each opportunity to learn as growth.  We must put into practice what we learn. To be a great teacher, be a shining example. Do precisely that which you would lead others to do, and do it spectacularly.Want peace? Be peaceful.Want a more loving relationship?  Be more loving.Want to teach others to be more kind? Show them kindness.The most effective teachers have no interest in telling others what to do or what to think.  Instead, they promote and support conditions in which each person can experience the best of themselves in their own special way.#BeAGoodAStudentAndAGenerousTeacher  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Who are you when no one is watching?"  What is it that excites you? Fulfills you?When you are free to do exactly as you please, what is it that you do, or would do if you could? When nothing is expected of you by others, what do you expect of yourself?The moments when no one is watching are moments full of wonderful opportunity. For they are your chance to determine and develop the person you most want to be.  Free of fear of being judged, de-valued or influenced.When you are alone take time for self-reflection.  Notice what you feel, what makes you happy, sad, angry, joyful.  What is it that brings out your best self?  When do you feel most like yourself, where your soul is not whispering for change, and your heart is full?Then be her.  Always.#BeReadyForSelfReflection #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #Horsehippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "It takes a lot of courage to live life on your own terms."It can be very hard to be brave enough to live according to your vision and purpose.  But you  must find the courage to do it.Find the courage to choose a life that feels good to YOU, not the life that is expected of you. Find the courage to choose the things that make your SOUL feel safe, not the things that simply look good on the outside. Find the courage to choose a path that feels right for YOU, not the one that makes the most sense to other people. Find the courage to choose YOURSELF; to honor what brings you peace, joy, and purpose, not just what the world tells you should matter. Find the courage to choose your life, for YOU.#BeCourageous #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Happiness isn't a big thing. It's a million little things."   Oh the elusive happiness.  We all want it, but many feel like it will never happen.  But guess what? Happiness is a CHOICE, not a result. The truth is nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy.  You can wait until you are where you think you need to be in life to be happy, or you get what you think you need to have to be happy, but it won't come.Because your happiness will not come TO you. It can only come FROM you.  Because it's not outside of you, it's IN you.Happiness is what you ARE, not what you have. It depends solely upon your own attitude.  So the sooner you decide to BE happy, you will be.You can be happy no matter what your circumstances might be.  So, lift your own self-imposed restrictions on happiness. Count your million little blessings, and be happy.Note: I do recognize that those dealing with clinical mental health issues cannot just choose to be happy.  This post is directed to those who are waiting for external things to make them happy.#BeHappy  #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuote

Morning Mantra: "Let kindness lead the way."  Our country and the people in it are going through a hard time right now, some worse than others.  Some can handle it better than others, but no one is exempt from this crisis.  Some are affected financially, some mentally, some spiritually, others socially.  There is a big riff and it is fueled by fear and hostility. Even some families and friendships are strained.  The economy is not great and prices are really I high.  Frankly it has affected my business too and has made me re-examine what I spend.But I refuse to let external influences change the way I treat others  And since we rarely know how badly someone might need some extra kindness right now, I just make it a habit to be kind to everyone.  If you are having a good day, share your vibes....  Smile at everyone you meet.Listen  to others with interest.Ask your loved ones if they are okay.  Let drivers merge.Pay for someone's coffee if you can afford to.Offer to go to the grocery store.Babysit for a stressed out mom (or dad).Feed up for your barn owner- or at least don't add to their burdens.Donate goods, services, or money.Lose judgement and criticism and remember we are all in this together. Treat people the way you want to be treated on your bad days.  #BeGoodToEachOther #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: “You need the journey you are on right now.”   There is not a wasted second in your life.  Every experience you go through is meant for you.You may not understand why in the moment, but every part of your life is there for a reason.  To teach, to heal, to grow, to learn.Some things cannot be taught by others, they must be experienced by you.  Some things must be experienced to appreciate something else.You must feel sad to appreciate happiness.You must feel lonely to understand  the value of friendships.You must experience loss to recognize grief.And the list goes on...Try to let go of your need to understand and control. Learn to accept the unknown. Learn to trust the timing.The purpose of life is to live it. To taste the experience to the utmost.  To reach out without fear for newer and richer experiences and to allow life to unfold.#BeWillingToAcceptAllPartsOfTheJourney #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #morningmantra #inspirationalquotes #horsehippieboutique

Morning Mantra: "I can't see the haters."  I never understood intentional cruelty.  But it's out there. What does someone gain by making other people feel bad? A fleeting moment of power?  I get nasty comments and messages on this page (unbelievable but true!) and it always leaves me wondering why they feel like they need to be this way.I'll never really know so I guess it becomes about how I respond to mean people? Being mean back at them won't do anything to change the situation it just makes me like them.  I try to remember that they try to hurt you because they are hurting inside.It also doesn't show them an alternative way to be.   So when I get a nasty comment I don't chastise them or get snarky.  I try to...Show them compassion.  Show them grace.  Then I delete the comment and move on.I won't let them turn me into a mean person.  As hard as it is to ignore mean people, it's the only way to inner peace for you.  #BeWillingToIgnoreTheHaters #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: “Detach yourself from wanting to be understood.”   We all want or need to feel understood.  We can waste a lot of time in pursuit of this. But keep in mind that every person you come in contact with today has a perspective that is different than yours. No one else knows exactly what you know.  No other person shares your unique set of experiences, just as you do not share the exact same experiences as anyone else.  So they are not going to see life through the same lens as you.And that's okay.Those who get you, get you.  Those that don't, probably never will.  And that's okay too.  The real treasures in life are what you're able to give of yourself.

Morning Mantra: "Everything you are doing now is like planting the seeds for your future."   Sometimes it feels like all the work you do to better yourself, and your relationships, doesn't amount to much. But those seeds will one day bloom; in your soul, and in the hearts of others.  Whatever you feed will grow; faith or fear,confidence or worry,belief or doubt,love or indifference.The harvest of happiness can grow from one little seed; a new approach, a kind gesture, a positive thought, or a simple change in focus.Just keep planting your seeds and watering your garden then watch what grows.#BeTheGardenerOfYourSoul  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #Horsehippie #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Celebrate YOU everyday."    Today is my birthday and it got me thinking.Why do we only celebrate how awesome we are on our birthdays?  Why do we feel we have to have only one day to shine?  Just think, the same God that created all the beauty in the world, also created you.  Each and every one of us deserves to be appreciated, respected, honored, and loved.  If no one else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. And love yourself fullydeeplyhonestlyfaithfullygloriously.#BeWillingToCelebrateYou  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Make someone smile every day. But never forget you are someone too.”  It's easy to get caught up in people pleasing.  I used to be really bad at saying "Yes" when I really wanted to say "No".I used to put other people's needs ahead of my own.I used to do things out of obligation not desire.I used to do anything so people would like me.THEN. I. STOPPED.I realized that the cost to my soul was too high.I realized that the wrong people were draining me so I didn't have enough left for the right people.I realized that I had no power over my life, that everyone else was running it.I realized that I was trying to validate myself through other people's opinion of me. I realized that people pleasing didn't allow me to receive because I was always giving.Now I practice self-care.I take some time to really think about my answer before I say Yes.I am aware of my tendency to want to help at my own expense.I no longer change myself to get approval.I understand that giving of myself and my time should be reciprocated.I still do a lot for others. But I extend that kindness to myself as well.#BeWillingToStopPeoplePleasing  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "If you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain."  I love this quote because it so perfectly describes life.  When we look at social media we tend to think that everyone else is living a life of rainbows.  With beautiful sunsets, well behaved children (or horses), clean houses, and delicious meals prepared by others every night!The truth is life is more about the storms than the rainbow.  Life is solving problems, learning from our mistakes, pain, hurt and sorrow.But those rainbows make all of it worth it.  The rainbows are what we work so hard for, see as a beacon of hope, and remember when we are in the depths of the storm.The rainbows help us through the storms.Find your rainbows each day.  Forget about what other people are doing on Fakebook.  See your tiny miracles in your life, and learn to dance in the rain.#BeARainbowChaser #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "It doesn't take much to do such a small thing.That small thing could be the best thing we do for another."To everyone who puts the grocery cart back,smiles at strangers, waves people ahead in the merging lane, practices empathy for others, actively listens with intention to understand, is kind to animals and children, notices the small things, offers to help, isn't afraid to ask people if they're OK, feels compassion when they see someone else is hurting, appreciates nature, compliments freely,and is moved by the beauty of the world. Thank you. The world needs more of you.#BeAGoodHuman #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: ”Today I appreciate everything and everyone."  We can take so much for granted. Being thankful and expressing your gratitude to others is an important part of being happy in life. Make it a habit to tell people "Thank You".   Not "No problem"  not "No worries"  but "Thank you."Make it a habit to express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. When you truly appreciate those around you, it not only benefits them, but also you because it makes you more aware of your blessings. It is a sharing of positive energy with another.Saying "Thank You" lets them know you appreciate their kindness, love, help and presence.  Unless you acknowledge it they might not know how you feel.Thank someone today for being an important part of your story. #BeAppreciative #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie

Morning Mantra: "Mind, body and soul.  These are the things self-care is all about."It's a fact that two things can be true at the same time. Sometimes personal growth looks more like spending less time trying to heal yourself and more time just enjoying life.  Because the truth is if you enjoy your life, you will be a better person for it.  So focusing on self-care by enjoying life is a key to personal growth.  How cool is that?Self-care doesn't look the same for everyone all the time.  It's easy to judge and defend yourself if you find your self-care routine this week looks different than what we've been told it is supposed to be.  You do you.Sometimes my self-care is exercising and eating right, sometimes it's spending time with love ones, or taking a nap. And sometimes it's binge watching TV in my pajamas.  It's not the same for everyone and it doesn't have to be.The idea of self-care is to sooth your soul.  To rest and relax.  To find a way to enjoy yourself.  And when you do that without guilting yourself about how you do it, then you are experiencing personal growth too!#BeSoothed #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "What we see reflected in others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look."   Whatever you see when you evaluate other people, is a projection of what is inside of you.  In order to recognize something in others, you must first have it within yourself.More often than not, what we dislike in others are the very things we do not like in ourselves. Trying to run away from this by blaming others, will only prolong the problem and make it worse.  Facing and accepting is the only way to change.The good news is that this “mirror” has a positive side to it. The inspiring, uplifting things you see in other people, are in you as well. When you recognize things like compassion, beauty, caring and affection, you're also seeing a projection of yourself. You see these things because they are a part of you, you recognize them.The source of your thoughts and feelings about other people, about things, about situations, is you. When you see darkness, it is your darkness. When you see beauty, it is your own beauty. Grasp this concept, and you can change your world.#BeClearOnYourReflection  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHIppie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: “Be the good.”Don't let what you cannot do stand in the way of what you can do. Every little thing helps.My kids, and now my older grandkids, keep asking me what they can do to help humanity.I tell them to start with their own little world.Make it peaceful.Make it loving.Make it kind.Make it joyful.If everyone started with their own lives and their own vibe and changed it for the good, think of positive energy there would be in the world.Carrying the heavy weight of what's out there just brings you and everything around you, and the entire collective, down.So focus on your own little world, lift it up. Lift others up around you. And the collective positive energy will overcome the darkness.#BeTheGood #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “Be careful who you pretend to be, you might forget who you really are.”We all have to play roles sometimes. The wild and free person dancing in the moonlight isn't the one that shows up for a business meeting. But if you pretend too long, you risk losing who you really are. You risk losing the essence of that woman who feels like dancing.If you conform to fit in, or change parts of yourself to get friends, then you change who you really are at your core. Who you were created to BE.Each person was created to be unique. To express their essence authentically. Unfortunately, society has made it almost impossible to do this. But don't let them win.  Be who you are anyway.I often wondered why they were so afraid of the witches of wisdom instead of the men who burned them at stake.  Then I realized that the witches didn't fit to what society thought was normal, and that those that want to control what that is will do anything to make it happen.#BeWhoYOUAreNotWhoTheyThinkYouShouldBe #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “If you don't sacrifice for what you want, what you want will be the sacrifice.”Living the life, you are meant to live requires guts, determination, and commitment.So many times I see people just settling for a life that is not full of joy, happiness, and excitement. They have decided that they don't want to make the sacrifices of time, work, or whatever that life requires.Then they look back and realize that they have actually sacrificed their dreams, their joy, the life they really wanted to live.#BeWillingToSacrificeForYourLife #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "I own my words, thoughts, and actions. I don't own your reaction to them. “Setting limits with toxic people doesn't mean you're not concerned about the feelings of others. It simply means you recognize the importance of your peace. Your peace of mind should be the most important thing. If someone reacts strongly to your boundaries that's on them.  So pay attention to when people react with anger and hostility to your boundaries.  You have found the line where their respect for you ends.It's never really about your boundary. It's about their emotional immaturity.  Boundaries set limits that reveal emotional immaturity.  But you, just like everyone else are allowed to have limits to what you will tolerate.#BeOKWithBoundaries #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "May your day be full of magic, and may you not be too busy to see it."Much of the stress that people feel doesn't come from trying to do too much, it comes from not doing enough of what you love.So prioritize doing things that make you happy today, and every day.Life isn't just about stress, bills, and deadlines. It's about good food, noticing things that are beautiful like a sunset,being with people who make you happy, and enjoying everything until you forget your worries. Don't just get through life – live it.There is magic all around you, take some time to see it, feel it, allow it.#BeAMagicSeeker #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Keep your eye on the objective not the obstacles."   EVERY success story written, has a chapter (or more) on what they overcame to get there.  If you want something bad enough you will not turn the obstacles you face into excuses to quit.  If you are looking for a path with no obstacles just remember it probably doesn't lead to where you want to go.  Because life is tough, and difficulties are inevitable.It helps to remember that every time you get through one challenging setback you gain knowledge and strength for the next one.  So stay the course, keep your eye on the prize and be willing to keep going.#BeReadyForObstacles  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie  #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "It's time to reconnect with your actual life."Put your phone down. I know I know you wouldn't be able to see what I'm posting if you weren't on your phone but what you're looking for isn't here on your phone, or your tablet, or your computer. It's in the grass, put your feet on it. It's in the sky, look up. It's in connection, hug another human. It's in laughter, call your funniest friend. It's with your animals, spend some time just hanging out with them.It's in nourishment, eat a really good meal. It's in your body, move it. It's in the moment you are recording behind the screen instead of living it now.It's time to reconnect with your actual life. Not people on the Internet, not horses that belong to someone else, not meals someone else is eating, or parks someone else is visiting, but YOUR life.Don't let technology substitute for real living.#BeWillingToPutYourPhoneDown #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "It's easier to look at the short comings of others and judge them, than to address our own lack of self-worth."  We are quick to judge others. Taking time to understand them is more difficult, so we judge.We think we know them better than they do, or at least what they should do, look like, act like, or be like.  Boy has this become an even bigger issue now with social media.Judging comes from our own insecurity.  Understanding and accepting others- even if they aren't who we think they should be- requires compassion, patience, and is rooted in love.It must start with our own self-love. Our own feelings of worthiness.Once we accept that we are worthy- despite not being perfect- we can begin to allow others to be the same.Once we recognize that judging separates us from each other, and from our best self, we can begin to close the gap, and move closer to peace.To love more and judge less.#BeLessJudegy  #behappy #behorsey #behippie #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBrand #morningmantra #morningmotivation #inspirationoftheday #inspirationalquotes

Morning Mantra: "There are two types of tired; one that requires rest, and one that requires peace."If you are tired of being tired, ask yourself why you feel so tired. If there are not physical reasons for your exhaustion, then maybe you are mentally tired.Tired of being sad.Tired of being alone.Tired of pretending.Tired of being angry.Tired of feeling stuck.Tired of remembering.Tired of missing things.Tired of the noise.Tired of always having to be the strong one.Tired of not being heard.Tired of feeling like you'll never get everything done.This is emotional exhaustion and it requires peace.Peace of mind and heart.So take a break, get back to yourself, and sort through all the chaos in your head.Find your way back to your essence. #BeWillingToPauseForPeace #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Just give your best in the best way you know how."All that really matters is that when you look back at your life you see a life you are proud of.  A life you don't regret or resent.  A life that feels true to you.And what's even cooler is that if you aren't feeling that way now  you can change the ending.  You can start to give your best- to everything and everyone- including yourself.So when you look back you'll see that you gave everything you could to  live a life you are excited about.  A life you know that you are really living not just existing!   A life you gave of yourself to you community, your family, the ones you love.  So give your best love.  Your best hugs.  Your best smiles. Your best efforts.  Your best self.  Because life is short and what is the point of living if we don't appreciate our time here and make the best of it?#BeTheBest #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique
