Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

It Starts in Your Head

Morning Mantra: "Choose your thoughts wisely, they are a conversation with the Universe."  Did you know that nothing can destroy iron, but it's own rust? Likewise, no one can destroy you, but your own mindset can.  Thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to actions, actions lead to reactions. In other words, it all begins in your head. Control your mindset (thoughts), control the outcome. How this works:  instead of thinking "I am so fat" then feeling bad about it and soothing yourself with a cookie, change your thoughts to "I am going to take care of my body." which will create feelings of empowerment, which will lead to actions that help, like a walk. Every thought, emotion and action becomes a statement of who we are and who we are becoming.  So why not make this statement on purpose? Choose positive thoughts. Choose to see the glass half full.  Choose to be around uplifting people.  Choose to become self aware enough to notice your limiting beliefs. Choose your thoughts wisely. #BeAPositiveThinker  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes

It’s Not About You

Morning Mantra: "How people treat you is their karma. How you react is yours.” When someone treats you badly or talks about you behind your back, don't take it personally.   It's says nothing about you but a whole lot about them.  Why is it we want to automatically think something is done because of who we are instead of who THEY are?  You are not the one judging and being mean.   So let them. Don't react to something unless you know for certain it is being said or done on purpose.  Then respond with curiosity as to why they feel this way.  Communicate with the intention of understanding not retaliation. No one can make you feel a certain way without your permission- so don't allow someone else's limited view of you change who you really are. #BeElevated #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes   Image: Horses for the Spirit

Be the Energy You Seek

Morning Mantra: "In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit." This quote by Anne Frank is very appropriate right now with all the chaos and fear being created in our world.  It can make you feel hopeless, scared and angry.   Remember- energy is everything.  It spreads outward from everyone that is feeling so it's important to spread kindness, calm, courage and faith.  Each time you do, it builds on what's being spread by other kind, loving souls. If you are mad, look at the root of your feelings- is it the injustice in the world or are you joining the anger generated by those that are full of hate?  Getting mad is a healthy response to cruelty but it must be followed by action and purpose or it will just add volume to the energy from the haters. Seek outlets.   Seek other people that want peace.   Seek inner calm wherever you can.   Stay rooted in love.  Stay rooted in the truth. Join your energies with other positive energies and the light of love will shine for those stuck in fear and rage. #BeTheEnergyYouSeek #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Go Little

Morning Mantra: "When everything feels too big, go little." You can't really outrun feeling overwhelmed. All you can do is slow down, take smaller bites of the world, smaller steps in the journey and make tinier to-do lists. When you slow down, most of the stress will pass you by.  When you rest you can recharge, breathe deeper, reset your nervous system. If you have too much to do then be still.  If you are always frantically rushing to the next thing you miss the moment you're in.  Each thing you do should get your full attention.  Be fully present.   You will get there, but for now you're here, and here is wonderful. #BeWillingToSlowDown #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #horsehippieboutique  Quote: Donna Ashworth

The Gifts from Nature

Morning Mantra: "Nature is the purest portal to inner peace." Before Horse Hippie I had a shop called Back to Nature.  It was a place that honored the role of nature in my life.  It was a reflection of my love for the earth, a love instilled in me by my mother.  My mother taught me to see the beauty but also all of the ways nature is such a healer.  Just think about all she offers to us: ~Watching a sunset or sunrise can regulate your circadian rhythm and calm your mind. ~Walking in a forest can boost your immunity. ~Listening to birdsong can lower anxiety and improve focus. ~The negative ions in ocean air can elevate your mood and energy.  ~The scent of flowers boosts dopamine and serotonin which relieves stress. ~Sunlight provides vitamin D, uplifts moods and regulates sleep. ~The scent of snow contains ozone notes which refresh and clear the mind. ~Mountain views enhance a sense of awe and wonder.  Yet, with all these benefits, how often do we choose to let her heal us?  The next time you feel stress- hug a tree, walk barefoot in the grass, just sit and watch the sunset or listen to the birds.  Consciously allow nature to offer you her gifts. #BeANatureLover #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover
