Are You Waiting for Happiness?

Your Daily Choice

Morning Mantra: "Every day brings a choice; to practice stress or to practice peace." The first step in practicing peace is to figure out what is causing your stress.  Is it a need to be perfect? Is it the inability to forgive someone?  Maybe it's the fear over missed deadlines. Or maybe it's your health or financial situation. Whatever it is, you can make it a practice to find peace in your day.  The secret is to practice mindfulness. The soul always knows how to heal itself, the challenge is to quiet the mind. The mind is the one that creates the stress through your thoughts about any given situation. You can learn to observe your thoughts rather than embody them.  To recognize that it's your thoughts about that need for perfection, deadline, or whatever, that is causing your stress.   A quiet mind doesn't mean there will be no thoughts, it means they will be on the surface and your peaceful self will be within observing. The goal of inner peace isn't to control your thoughts, but to stop letting them control you. #BeWillingToPracticePeace #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Beware of Time

Morning Mantra: "Life itself is a privilege, but to live life to the fullest, well, that's a choice." If each of us knew how much time we had allocated, perhaps we could play around with it. But we don’t.  Believing tomorrow is a guarantee, is the biggest mistake we make. Not seizing every day like the gift that it is, is the biggest risk we take.  Waste time wisely.  Time spent in rest, joy, company and kindness is never wasted. But doom scrolling, arguing, ignoring things that matter, or not appreciating what is  in your life are time suckers. As for the things you want to do but are scared to try, just do it. You won’t regret the things you tried and failed at, but you will regret a life spent waiting to do it. Prioritize your time for the life you were born to live. #BeAwareOfTime #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

The Person You Want To Be

Morning Mantra: "It doesn't really matter who you used to be; what matters is who you are becoming." Think of the person you’ve always wanted to become. The person that makes their dream a reality.  What would they be doing right now?  What would they say about their life?  What would they be thinking about? Now accept that this person IS you. Start showing up for that person. Start showing up for yourself.  And you will understand that this person has always BEEN you. You've always had this power within you to glow, grow, and achieve your biggest dreams. So BE them!  Go get that life.  Go chase that dream. #BeThePersonYouWantToBe #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

You’re Not Stuck

Morning Mantra: "The only thing harder than change is choosing to be stuck in the same place for too long." You are not stuck. You are choosing the familiar because your nervous system has confused it with safe.  You are choosing a life that might not be the best for you because you know it rather than risk the unknown in search of something better. If you don’t like how you feel then risk change.  I've been there. We probably all have at one point in our lives.  But don't settle.  I wanted something different for myself. So I took responsibility for how I chose to show up.  I learned to recognize the cycles I was stuck in.  I learned to recognize when I didn’t do right by myself.  I became aware of the thoughts I had on repeat.  I stepped out of my victim mentality.  I called myself out on my own BS.  I was done letting myself down. There will be a time where things are aligned and you will feel free to just be. Don't keep choosing safe over life. #BeWillingToChange     #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Learn from Your Emotions

Morning Mantra: "Instead of labeling your emotions as problems to solve, see them as signals to interpret." Anger is information. Sadness is information. Anxiety is information. Your emotions are insight not personality flaws. Stop trying to fix them. Start trying to read them. They’re telling you something useful. Anger says “look into what you’re afraid to lose. “ Guilt says “you’re not aligned with your values. “ Fear says “you’re being challenged to grow. “ Shame says “work on your sense of self-worth. “ Anxiety says “learn to quiet your mind.” Sadness says “pay attention to what is lacking.” Resentment says “work on your victim mentality. “ When you refuse to embrace your negative emotions, you are refusing to heal the part of you that was triggered.  Sit with them. Learn from them. #BeOKWithYourEmotions  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique
