Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Be Good to Each Other

Morning Mantra: "Leave everyone better than you found them."  Everyone is going through a hard time right now, some worse than others. Some can handle it better than others, but no one is exempt from the crisis in our country, in our world. The weight of the collective angst creates anxiety and reactivity. Some are affected physically, some mentally, some spiritually, some financially, others socially. Since we rarely know how badly someone might need some extra kindness from someone, just make it a habit to be kind.  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 worst days.  #BeGoodToEachOther#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes

Redirection

Morning Mantra: "I'm not being rejected, I'm being re-directed."  Try to look at rejection, getting fired, getting brushed off, or ignored, as an opportunity to change the direction of your career, and life.  It will hurt at first, but if you stay focused on the hurt the ego is in charge. Let it go.  Sometimes the Universe protects us from a situation or decision that isn't really in our best interest. Trust it. Don't dwell on the loss, see it as a way to re-evaluate. And remember that the pain of rejection is not as bad as the pain of regret. It helps me to keep in mind that every new beginning is some other beginnings end.  #BeOKWithReDirection#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #MorningMantra#InspirationalQuotes#HorseHippie#HorseHippieBrand

Change Through Kindness

Morning Mantra: "Be the change you wish to see in the world."    It's easy to be a keyboard warrior, or an armchair quarterback, judging the behavior of others and telling them what they should do differently.  Rarely does this make any difference however. What are you actually DOING to make things better?   You don't have to move mountains.   You don't have to give up all your time and money. You don't have to march, vent, or scream from the rooftops. Just be a tornado of happiness.  Set an example through your gratitude and generosity.   Offer kindness, support, and love rather than criticism and  scorn. Not only will you change the dynamic for others, but you will change your own. You will offer the world the highest vibration of energy to counter all the negativity. #BeTheChange  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes Quote: Gandhi

Choosing to Forgive

Morning Mantra: "Forgiveness is just another name for freedom."   There is a cleansing and refreshing freedom which comes from forgiveness.  Forgiving someone does not mean you must trust them, or allow them into a position where they can hurt you again. Forgiveness means letting go of the weight of anger and moving on. Lighter, less burdened. Forgiveness doesn't mean that what happened was acceptable. It means that you’ve chosen to no longer let it hold you back. To no longer let it be the lens you see things through. Forgiveness frees you from the attachment, from the weight, from the negative energy.  Forgive and be free. #BeWillingToForgive  #BeHappie #BeHorsie #BeHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippie

What You See in Others is Also in You

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
