Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

The Search for Happiness

Morning Mantra: "Happiness is not built; it is uncovered beneath layers of tension and attachment." We often searches for happiness as something to attain, achieve, or secure. You may believe it lives in the next relationship, the next success, the next moment of recognition. Yet your Soul senses a deeper truth — that it can slip away the tighter you grip it. The more you chase happiness, the more it feels conditional. Happiness is less about acquiring and more about releasing.  The ego says, “I need.”  Desire says, “When I get.”  But inner harmony emerges when you soften the grasping. When identity loosens and craving quiets, space opens. And in that space, a natural steadiness appears.  Today, sit in silence and notice one desire that feels urgent, then gently imagine placing it on a shelf beside you, allowing your nervous system to experience that you are safe even without immediate fulfillment; this reduces inner pressure and restores balance. #BeHappy  #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Focus on What Is

Morning Mantra: When your mind spirals into "what if", return to "what is" What is here.  What is real.  What is within reach.  The mind spirals when it’s trying to solve uncertainty without enough information. Returning to the "what is" brings the nervous system back into contact with reality, where choice actually exist.  The body is the fastest anchor to the present because it operates in real time. When you ground sensation, breath, and posture, the brain exits stimulation mode, and threat projections soften.  Most future pain is not predictive, it’s imagined. Presence interrupts that loop and restores agency.  Ground your body in the now so your mind can’t drag you into the imagined pain of the future. #BeWhatIs #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Chosen Not Tolerated

Morning Mantra: "You deserve people who make you feel chosen not tolerated." Taylor Swift has a song about being tolerated in a relationship and it got me thinking about some of my relationships.  Am I doing more to try and get them to choose me?  Am I putting up with behavior that I shouldn't to feel included? We must never accept being relegated to the status of being tolerated in the lives of others.  When we do, we succumb to feelings of unworthiness or accept treatment that does not honor our inherent value. When you accept an unequal division of emotional labor it makes you feel insecure and uncertain. You should not have to wait for someone to show their love for you when it's convenient for them. You ought to be a deliberate, constant choice. This is not limited to interpersonal interactions. It concerns working environments where we may not feel appreciated, where our contributions are seen as disposable. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize that everyone deserves to feel chosen, every time, regardless of the context.  We should all work on coming to terms with our value and resolving to be treated as more than mere possibilities.  We should always be the ones who feel treasured, loved, and respected. #BeChosen #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Is This The Right Path?

Morning Mantra: "The right path will feel like relief not resistance." The best way to find out whether you’re on the right path? Is to stop looking at the path and feel it instead.  Does it feel good? Does it feel like it aligns with your goal? Your values? Your best self? This doesn’t mean that the right path is always easy. It means that the right path is the one you are willing to keep walking even when things get difficult.  It means you feel good about moving forward and you could care less about looking back. Only you know which is the right path. Because it’s the one that ignites your passion. It fits your idea of happiness.  It doesn't question your self-worth or ask you to compromise who you are. Once you figured out what brings you joy, your purpose, your passion, you don’t have to worry about finding the right path because basically any path will take you there. Just remember, if you find a path of no obstacles, it probably won’t lead you anywhere. Set backs and detours ask you to decide how dedicated you are to continuing the journey. #BeOnYourPath

The Importance of Love

Morning Mantra: "Love gently, kindly, fiercely, bravely as an expression of your light and spirit." The people who change our lives are the ones who lead with love. The ones who listen. Who try not to judge. They see the good in us even when we feel bad about ourselves.  Loving in the form of listening, empathizing, tolerance, non judging and physical expressions is engaging the best of ourselves in the form of connecting with another person.   Each expression of love has ripple affects on people and each act or word of love subtly changes you as well.  Never regret the energy expended toward another soul.  Give a little love as often as you can. It matters. It really does. #BeLoving #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique
