Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: “Pause. Take a breath. The world will keep spinning, but for now, you don’t have to.” Anxiety is a tough one. It makes it feel like your body isn’t safe, even when you know it is just sending off false alarms.  You feel like you can’t sit with the emotion without trying to push it away. But sitting with the feeling of anxiety is an opportunity to practice recognizing uncomfortable emotions and learning how to not let them hijack your day. Sitting with your anxious feelings is a chance to release the false belief that you need to be in control all the time.  To remind yourself that you are not your thoughts, and that your anxiety doesn’t define you, it might be a part of you but not who you are. #BeAbleToConfrontYourAnxiety #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “What you do makes a difference, you just have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” It’s easy to think you don’t make a difference in a world of social media where we value people having huge followings and 1000’s of likes.  But this quote by my hero, Jane Goodall, reminds you that your impact on other people is bigger than you think.  Someone still giggles when they think of the funny thing you said.  Someone still smiles when they think of the compliment you gave them. Someone silently admires you.  The advice you give has made a difference for someone.  The support and love you’ve offered others has made someone’s day.  Your input and opinions have made someone think twice.  You’re not insignificant, your existence makes a positive difference, whether you see it or not. So shine your beautiful light. Shine on. #BeADifferenceMaker  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique Quote: Jane Goodall

Morning Mantra: "Choose people that choose you." Over the years I have had a few relationships with people I love that were really difficult.  No matter how hard I tried they didn't care enough to try to fix and heal what was broken. I used to think more patience would fix it.  I used to think I could earn care by overdelivering love.  I thought if I apologized faster, spoke gentler, forgave more, explained longer, the love and respect would arrive. It never did.  I learned the hard truth: loyalty to what harms you is not love. Forgiveness without change is not healing. Endurance without results is not growth.  I am not a never-ending well of second chances. I am not a classroom where the same lesson is taught to people who never planned to learn. My time is precious. My voice is valuable. My peace is non-negotiable.  So I learned to set boundaries and sometimes, to set them free.  To take their lack of interest and behavior as a true sign of how they felt.  I learned that no matter what I did, it takes two for it to work.  I learned that I had to stop MY contribution to the dysfunction- my co-dependency. Now I focus on those that WANT a relationship with me.  Those that bring me joy not drama and pain. Who will put in the effort to make our relationship work. Let me feel heard, loved, chosen. Time and energy are the most precious commodities and I will use mine where it is appreciated and reciprocated. #BeChoosey  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: “Stay where your heart smiles.” You know the feeling. The one where you can swear your heart is happy. It’s not a place, a person, or a thing. It’s a habit. It’s the habit of finding your joy, even when it’s hiding from you. It’s a state of mind that you cultivate. Of course, you might think the reason you are happy is a certain person, being at a certain place, or doing a certain thing, but your happiness cannot depend on that. Because if it does, your happiness is based on something external, and it can end if that “reason” does. So take notice on how you FEEL when you are happy, then choose that feeling, over and over again. #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippieBoutique #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Don't be afraid to start over again. This time, you are not starting from scratch, you're starting from experience." Just because the past didn't turn out like you had hoped, doesn't mean the future won't. Go ahead and try again.  You are better equipped this time, you know what works, and what doesn't. You know what brings you joy, and what doesn't. If you look at your past as a failure instead of life lessons then you won't be brave enough to start over.  So change the way you look at it.  You can start over with new thought patterns, a new connection to the world, and new understanding of yourself. You deserve to be happy, so start over, again and again, until you find what you want, where you want, with who you want. #BeWillingToStartOver #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique
