Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Be the Batteries

Morning Mantra: "Where there is darkness, let there be light."  When a flashlight grows dim or doesn't shine, do you throw it away or change the batteries?  You change the batteries. When a person messes up or finds themselves in a dark place, should you cast them aside?  Of course not. You help them change their batteries. Some need AA- Attention and Affection. Some need AAA- Attention, Affection and Acceptance. Some need C- Compassion. Some need D- Direction. And if they still can't manage to shine, simply sit with them quietly, and share your light. #BeTheBatteries  ##BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique  Quote: Francis of Assisi

The Spirit of Christmas

Morning Mantra: "Peace on Earth will come to stay when we live with the spirit of kindness everyday." This year, I’m choosing peace over pressure.  I’m choosing to breathe instead of rush.  I’m choosing to show up, with what I can do, not what I think I’m supposed to do.  I'm choosing to love my neighbor over judgement. I'm choosing compassion over criticism.  I'm choosing grace over being unforgiving. Christmas doesn’t need to be perfect to be meaningful. It just needs to be honest and full of love. And whatever I’m able to give this season, from my time to my heart, it will be enough. #BeOkWithEnough #BeHappy##WordsToInspire#InspirationalQuotes#SmallBusinessOwner#WomenOwned#HorseHippieBoutiqueBeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra

Give Yourself

Morning Mantra: "Giving to others is the greatest gift you can give to yourself."  There sure is a lot of need in the world right now. It can be overwhelming. Especially at the holidays. It may make you think that there is nothing you can do. Like you have nothing to offer. You don't have to have a lot to help and support others. The best gift you can give to the world is yourself.  Your time.  Your attention.  Your companionship. Your patience. Your thoughtfulness. Your compassion. Your understanding. Your encouragement. Your guidance. Your love. In serving others we find ourselves. So in this season of giving... #BeWillingToGiveYourself [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/bewillingtogiveyourself?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZwMVKKxUGvL1cZYB_sePhGgUhjtFdRfwMRKDDfBtrXBKVbRdn1zCzVUpBF30A2UP4fFVbY0MaRPPE61BGwo1ltfHe6rhjM7Cuu_67fKWvymjZCmoPYInYGyh2ChnA2Lr_davftZ3VRtU7M2B7bP7pT&__tn__=*NK-R]#BeHappy [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/behappy?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZwMVKKxUGvL1cZYB_sePhGgUhjtFdRfwMRKDDfBtrXBKVbRdn1zCzVUpBF30A2UP4fFVbY0MaRPPE61BGwo1ltfHe6rhjM7Cuu_67fKWvymjZCmoPYInYGyh2ChnA2Lr_davftZ3VRtU7M2B7bP7pT&__tn__=*NK-R] #BeHorsey [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/behorsey?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZwMVKKxUGvL1cZYB_sePhGgUhjtFdRfwMRKDDfBtrXBKVbRdn1zCzVUpBF30A2UP4fFVbY0MaRPPE61BGwo1ltfHe6rhjM7Cuu_67fKWvymjZCmoPYInYGyh2ChnA2Lr_davftZ3VRtU7M2B7bP7pT&__tn__=*NK-R]#BeHippie [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/behippie?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZwMVKKxUGvL1cZYB_sePhGgUhjtFdRfwMRKDDfBtrXBKVbRdn1zCzVUpBF30A2UP4fFVbY0MaRPPE61BGwo1ltfHe6rhjM7Cuu_67fKWvymjZCmoPYInYGyh2ChnA2Lr_davftZ3VRtU7M2B7bP7pT&__tn__=*NK-R] #HorseHippie [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/horsehippie?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZwMVKKxUGvL1cZYB_sePhGgUhjtFdRfwMRKDDfBtrXBKVbRdn1zCzVUpBF30A2UP4fFVbY0MaRPPE61BGwo1ltfHe6rhjM7Cuu_67fKWvymjZCmoPYInYGyh2ChnA2Lr_davftZ3VRtU7M2B7bP7pT&__tn__=*NK-R]#MorningMantra [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/morningmantra?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZwMVKKxUGvL1cZYB_sePhGgUhjtFdRfwMRKDDfBtrXBKVbRdn1zCzVUpBF30A2UP4fFVbY0MaRPPE61BGwo1ltfHe6rhjM7Cuu_67fKWvymjZCmoPYInYGyh2ChnA2Lr_davftZ3VRtU7M2B7bP7pT&__tn__=*NK-R]#InspirationalQuotes [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/inspirationalquotes?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZwMVKKxUGvL1cZYB_sePhGgUhjtFdRfwMRKDDfBtrXBKVbRdn1zCzVUpBF30A2UP4fFVbY0MaRPPE61BGwo1ltfHe6rhjM7Cuu_67fKWvymjZCmoPYInYGyh2ChnA2Lr_davftZ3VRtU7M2B7bP7pT&__tn__=*NK-R]

Be OK With Being Misunderstood

Morning Mantra: "Let go of the need to manage people's perception of you." It seems everyone has an opinion about everyone and everything these days. And yes, people have the right to their opinion, but you also have the right to ignore it.  Besides, just because they have an opinion doesn't make their opinion right.  Remember that they aren't you.  They have no REAL idea how you think, what lenses you view things through, what guides you.  They don't understand what shaped you, what you've been through, or how you feel inside. Trust yourself not their words, listen to your inner voice, not their judgement. #BeOkayWithBeingMisunderstood  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantras #InspirationalQuoes

Solstice Blessings

Winter Solstice Blessings ❄️ Morning Mantra: "Today I will celebrate the natural pause, the longest night that holds the promise of light." I actually love winter. I see beauty in the gray skies, the bare limbs, and the thought of everything nested in and cozy.  I love the idea of taking a nice long break to renew, reflect and refresh. An opportunity to go inward with deep intention, to care for our spiritual selves, our bodies and minds. Nature operates in rhythmic cycles and is connected to everything.  Maybe we should align ourselves with the ebb and flow of nature and tune into the the natural rhythms that foster a sense of harmony and interconnectedness with the world around us. Amid the hectic festive season, the Solstice reminds us to take a breath, to slow down and to embrace moments of darkness with hope, knowing the light will return.
