Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Be Honest With Yourself

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

How Will You Grow Today?

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

Release What Weakens Your Light

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

Do You Believe In Miracles?

Morning Mantra: "Miracles happen everyday."    When we think of miracles it is human nature to start to doubt.  Our thinking minds (our egos) take over because we live from fear. The ego (our mind/thoughts) wants to step in and control things because it lacks the faith of our heart and soul.  You must live from your heart to believe in miracles. Acknowledging our fear shines light on it, it allows us to find our way back to faith and love. The ego cannot survive in the light of love.    Fear and doubt separate us from the love that connects us to the Source of all miracles. Fear and doubt is the energy that contracts, closes down, hides, and harms. Love is the energy which expands, opens up, reveals, shares and heals. Fear clings to and clutches, love lets go in faith. If you want to lose fear, surrender to love.  Give up your need to control the outcome and fill your mind with an unwavering belief in the power of faith.  If you don't believe in miracles, perhaps you've forgotten that you are one.   #BeABelieverInMiracles  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Don’t want it, CHOOSE it

Morning Mantra: "The words I AM are statements to the Universe."    Affirmations do not work if they are merely statements of what you WANT to be true.  They only work when they are statements of something you already KNOW to be true. For example, 'I want to be healthy' puts you in a state of wanting. 'I am going to get healthy' puts you in charge.  You now can follow up your statement with action. Start with the thought, write it down, speak it out loud (many times, every day), act upon it.   All with the attitude of KNOWING it will happen, not as just an attempt to produce results. If there is something you choose to experience in your life, do not want it-  CHOOSE it. #BeInTheKnow  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes
