I Get To

I Get To

Morning Mantra: "Replace 'I have to...' with 'I get to...' and see how your day changes."  Most of your stress is self-created.  It comes from the way you respond to things, not the way life actually is. One simple way to help change this is to change your perspective about things you must do in your life. Instead of saying, "I HAVE to go to work", try saying "I GET to go to work." Instead of, "I HAVE to make dinner", try saying, "I GET to make dinner." Instead of, "I HAVE to work out ", try "I GET to work out." Instead of "I HAVE to walk my dog, try "I GET to walk my dog." For when you see your responsibilities as privileges that are not afforded to all, your attitude will change. You will see things that normally cause you stress, as blessings. You will develop an attitude of gratitude. And gratitude changes everything. #BeWillingToChangeYourPerspective #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Find Your Joy

Morning Mantra: "Joy is less about what happens to us and more about what we intentionally invite into our lives." Joy exists inside all of us. We just have to nurture it until it becomes our natural default setting more often than not. Cultivating joy doesn’t mean pretending life is easy. It means making room for things that make us feel alive such as movement, fresh air, horses, sunshine, and spending times with people we love. Cultivating joy means letting go of some of the exhausting behaviors we think we need to use as adults and allowing ourselves to become childlike again. To laugh loudly and freely. To dance for no reason. To notice bugs and butterflies with awe. To walk in the grass barefoot. To hug tightly. To nap when we are tired and not feel guilty about it. The next time you've lost your joy, think about a child discovering something magical. Then cultivate that feeling. #BeJoyFilled  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique Adapted from Aging Disgracefully

How You Think About Your Life

Morning Mantra: "Always remember you are BRAVER than you believe, STRONGER than you seem, SMARTER than you think, and more BEAUTIFUL than you ever imagined." We are what we think we are - that's how powerful our thoughts can be.  They are the architects of our self image, our actions and our life. So if you change the way you think, you can change your life.    Think good thoughts about yourself.   Think about a time you were brave. Think about a time you were strong. Think of how you worked something out. Think how lucky you are to be here now. Think about things you are grateful for. Think about ways you help others. Think about how good life can be. #BeCarefulOfHowYouThink  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

No Regrets

Morning Mantra: "As you age you'll find the biggest regrets are the things you didn't do." Your 80 year old self doesn't wish you had been more perfect.  She wishes you had been more honest about what you wanted, and brave enough to build your life around it. In our country we tend to focus on how we look and what we own thanks to a consumer driven culture.  They NEED us to buy their stuff so they promote those ideals.  Chasing dreams into nature, living simply but happy, and showing yourself some grace about your looks don't sell products. But as you age the things that really matter become much clearer.  I have discovered that I can love myself if I'm 20 lbs more than I thought was my ideal weight and that I enjoy my meals more because I am not eliminating my favorite foods to stay thin. I have discovered that being in nature, with my horse and/or my dog brings me more pleasure than chasing points at a horse show.  In the past I thought to be  relevant meant I had to be competing. I have stopped apologizing for being loud, talking a lot, and having a busy brain.  Sure, I am still aware of the impact of my behavior and work on things, but I am who I am and I have spent far too much of my life trying to be someone else.  Don't wait until you're old to discover your bliss and to build your life around it.  Don't settle for a life that doesn't make you excited about the new day. Be brave in pursuit of it.  You won't regret it. #BeHonestWithYourself [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/behonestwithyourself?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #BeHappy [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/behappy?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #BeHorsey [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/behorsey?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #BeHippie [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/behippie?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #HorseHippie [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/horsehippie?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #MorningMantra [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/morningmantra?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #WordsToInspire [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/wordstoinspire?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #InspirationalQuotes [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/inspirationalquotes?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #SmallBusinessOwner [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/smallbusinessowner?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #WomenOwned [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/womenowned?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #HorseHippieBoutique [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/horsehippieboutique?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #MorningMotivation [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/morningmotivation?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #Equestrian [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/equestrian?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #HorseLover [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/horselover?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #QuotesToInspire [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/quotestoinspire?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #HorseHippieBoutique [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/horsehippieboutique?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R]

Your Vibe Frequency

Morning Mantra: "Show me how good it gets and how easy it can be." The Universe is energy.  Your attitude puts you in a certain frequency.   Negative, grumpy, ungrateful thoughts will keep you in a low vibration.   Positive thoughts and intentions will have you in a higher one. Positive begets positive.  You attract what you put out.  So start the day, and throughout the day, send out high vibrations of love, gratitude, and authenticity. Find little things to say "Thanks" for.  How good your morning coffee or tea tastes.  The sound of the birds singing outside.  The warmth of the sun or refreshment of the rain.  Take time and really enjoy your food.  Notice small glimmers of joy throughout the day.   If you  get pulled into a negative state try to become aware of it and quickly let it go.  Breathe through it, refocus and try to not let it sabotage your day. It's a mindset.  It's a lifestyle.   #BeAPositiveVibration #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique
