Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Mindfully Peaceful

Morning Mantra: "Anger and resentment are like embers held in the hand; they also burn the one who holds them." Maybe you think that it’s OK to hold onto resentment when life feels unfair. Or maybe like a vine growing slowly over time, these negative reactions become a habit that you don’t even realize you are doing. There can be a flickering comfort in anger or resentment. It can feel like a shield, a way to stay in control when things feel chaotic. But that warmth is fleeting. Before you know it, you are carrying a heavy burden in your mind.  You’ll find yourself at odds with everything, including traffic, the weather, your circumstances, or maybe even the reflection in the mirror. When your heart is full of these heavy shadows, the light of peace and love cannot find a place to rest. Anger and hatred can gently fade your joy and quiet your laughter. But if you realize this, a beautiful shift happens. You will see that you have a choice. You can choose the path of letting go. It begins by noticing these feelings as they arise and greeting them mindfully, then choosing peace and letting them go. You can choose to be kind to yourself and let go of this heavy darkness, and you will unlearn these old ways of reacting. And take control over your responses to life. #BeMindfullyPeaceful #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

What is the Price of Keeping the Peace

Morning Mantra: "When you let things slide to 'keep the peace' around you, make sure you are not ignoring the peace within you."  Keeping the peace does not mean keeping secrets, walking on eggshells, pretending things are healthy when they are not, ignoring their poor choices, tip toeing around the truth, or making yourself small.  Agreeing to things just to keep the peace is actually a trauma response. When you do this you are disrespecting YOUR inner peace, your boundaries, your needs. Inner peace is not attained by ignoring problems, but by solving them.  Don't sacrifice your peace to keep the peace with others. #BeAtPeaceWithYourself #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Create a Good Life

Morning Mantra: "You are the creator of your own life.  You are responsible for what you choose to do with it."  You cannot shortcut your life. The value of your life depends on you. You cannot take it from someone else, or borrow it, or inherit it, or marry it, or just get lucky and happen upon it. You must produce it. The good news is that each day is full of incredible opportunity.  Each day you have the opportunity to move yourself in the direction of your dreams,  by your own effort,  by your own commitment,  by your own focus,  by jumping into the adventure of life and getting your hands dirty. Life must be lived, and the challenges must be met, by your own strength, discipline and character. #BeACreatorOfAGoodLife #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Walk for Peace Monks

Morning Mantra: "Peace is not a destination. Peace is the way."   If any of you have seen the videos of the Monks on their 2,300 mile Walk For Peace, then you understand this concept.  It is so inspiring to see them tackle weather extremes, traffic, health setbacks and the hours and hours of walking, with mindful peace. If they teach us anything it is that we should live each day in peace.  We do this by letting go of the emotions from the ego.  Fear, blame, resentment, hostility, hatred and guilt.  There can be no inner peace if we hold onto these. Replace them with kindness, love, and forgiveness. Look past the things that usually annoy you. Marvel at the beauty of the world in which you live.  Accept things as they are instead of always pushing, pulling, and forcing.  It accomplishes nothing. Make a conscious effort to reach your goals in a measured and determined way. Use your judgment not as a weapon for putting others down, but as a tool for building your own character. Decide to live this day in peace. See how powerful that can be. {{To see the Monks during their finals days of their journey search FB for Walk for Peace }} #BeAtPeace  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

It Has Nothing to Do With You

Morning Mantra: "People will love you. People will dislike you. And none of it will have anything to do with you." People think, react, behave, and care from their level of consciousness. That's all they can do.  Their personal story and experiences shape they way they do all of these. They will judge others from this perspective. When they judge you it's not really about you.  It's about their own insecurities, limitations and needs, so changing yourself to please them won't change any of those. Remember this and stay kind. Stay committed to love and be free in your authenticity. #BeCommiittedToBeYou #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #JorseHippie #HorseHippieBrand #HorsehippieBoutique #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes
