Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

The Purpose of Storms in Your Life

Morning Mantra: "Not all storms come into your life to disrupt it, some come to clear the path."  There will always be storms in life,  it's how we learn,  it's how we grow,  and it's how things become clearer to us. Most of the time you won't remember how you survived it, what you did differently, or if it was even meant for you.   But one thing is certain, when you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person that walked in. And that's what the storm is all about. #BeBraverThanTheStorms #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippy #HorseHippie #morningmantra #inspirationalquotes

How to Deal With Failure

Morning Mantra: "The way you treat yourself after failure determines whether you grow, or give up." Don't beat yourself up for trying and falling short.  The way you speak to yourself when you mess up determines whether it feels safe to try again. The judging voice we hear in our head when we make a mistake isn't our own. It is the voice of the person(s) who made us feel small when we fell short as children.  It is the voice filled with disappointment and anger. The voice that made us feel wrong and questioned our worth. But that not's you.  You deserve to feel good about even trying. Show yourself some grace. Offer yourself words of encouragement. Acknowledging the bravery, strength and effort you showed. #BeOKWithFailure  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Grief as Fear

Morning Mantra: "No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear."   If I had to guess I'd say that we are all grieving in some way right now.   Some grieve for the loss of normalcy.   Some for loss of work.   Some for loss of freedom.  Some for a loss of our connection to each other. Others for the loss what life was like before.  And all of this grief is scary. So we feel fearful.  Feeling this way is perfectly okay.  But feelings should be acknowledged, not hidden or suppressed.    Sit with your grief (fear).  Breathe, and know that it will pass.  Know that we will get through this. Maybe not today, but one day soon.   I know that things can feel unbearable right now, but keep breathing.  Again, and again, and again.  I am here if you need me.   #BeWillingToGrieve  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuote

Being Sensitive

Morning Mantra: "A sensitive soul isn't the problem, it's the solution." We don't need to harden ourselves and grow a thicker skin.  We don't need to man-up and pretend we don't care about what's happening all around us. The world doesn’t benefit from people shutting down or becoming guarded and unfeeling.  It grows stronger through empathy, kindness, and understanding.  Staying open-hearted in a difficult world isn’t weakness, it’s real strength. We need more people who are willing to feel, to care, and to lead with compassion rather than fear. You can be open-hearted AND protect your peace at the same time.  You don't have to buy in to their fear, propaganda or rhetoric.  Just stay ground in love, offer that love to those you can and take comfort in knowing you are sensitive AND strong. #BeSensitive  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Let Life Flow

Morning Mantra: "Surrender to what is, let go of what was, have faith in what will be."  Sometimes I ask myself why I keep clinging to the idea of control, or to anger for things that have long since passed, or for my need to worry about every detail? Letting go of control does not mean giving up, nor does it mean abandoning the effort to bring good things into your life. What it means is freeing yourself from the need to cling, allowing things to flow, having faith that it will be okay and that you can handle it. When you give up trying to control everything something magical happens, you give God room to work.   Lighten your load. Loosen your grip. Let your life flow. Let go, and free yourself to live with grace and joy.  Image: Jenny Hunter #BeWillingToLetGo  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HOrseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuote
